F: 01737B(8)W(54.0)
( J-Samantha Wynne )

Won
F: 21111B(2)W(55.0)
( J-Samantha Wynne )
( T-Samantha Wynne )
The feature of the day and you'd be hard pressed to deny the chances of this talented filly. Led them a merry dance in the Gore Guineas two weeks ago and never gave anything else a chance in the straight. An extra 65m shouldn't change that
Main Danger
5 Lilly
Dividend : $1.60
Place
F: 57x41B(6)W(55.0)
( J-Donovan Cooper )
( T-Ross Beckett )
Progressive filly that put up a commanding performance to win a R65 two weeks ago. Looks the quinella
Next Best
8 Kellanzor
F: 21B(7)W(55.0)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-Samantha Wynne )
Stablemate of the favourite and loos like a good prospect, having won last time at only the second time of asking
Consider
2 Freddie Time
F: 15B(5)W(57.0)
( J-Kylie Williams )
( T-Kelvin Tyler )
Wasn't a bad run in the Gore Guineas, considering it got well off the pace early on. Sure to look to keep in touch of the leader today
Longer Odds
10 Loose Sally
F: 183B(14)W(55.0)
( J-Ruvanesh Muniandy )
( T-Shankar Muniandy )
Looks a bit of value at these EW odds, considering it was less than 3 1/2 lengths behind Pivotal Ten on Boxing Day

Dividend : $12.60, $3.80
Won
F: 09641B(1)W(59.0)
( J-Yogesh Atchamah )
( T-Andrew Carston )
Improved runs in two previous starts (to its last start win) so it was surprising to see it pay 424. Looked like it could have more upside and gets its chance to back up today
Next Best
12 Lucienne
F: x0874B(3)W(56.5)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-Robert Dennis )
Beaten just over 1/2 length last start and it's noted Tina has been handed the reins today

10 Harry Gee
F: 19035B(14)W(58.0)
( J-Kylie Williams )
( T-Nayton Mitchell )
Got off the pace behind Amiinit last start but finished on to good effect, to be just four lengths away at the finish. Needs to overcome wide draw

( J-Daniel Bothamley )
( T-Lee Callaway )
Although the formline would suggest otherwise, it has in fact finished close up in all recent runs. Worth a closer look
