F: 74x2B(7)W(56.0)
( J-Jim Chung )

Two lengths behind Te Akau runner Who Dares Wins last time ... and considering that one is putting return To Conquer to the test. might be pretty good

Place
F: 53538B(7)W(58.5)
( J-Jonathan Riddell )

F: 13x31B(2)W(54.0)
( J-Lily Sutherland )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
Andrew Forsman's 4yo has come back a lot stronger after its four month break and looked to have a bit in hand when winning at Waverley last start. Money has flooded in for it since opening and will start a warm favourite, with top local apprentice on the reins

Place
F: 60317B(6)W(54.0)
