Won
F: 52B(10)W(67.0)
( J-Sam O'Malley )
( T-Allan Sharrock )
On debut on New Year's even and ran with promise, before being spelled. Beaten by just a head when resuming two weeks ago and will be too good for this field
Main Danger
1 Side Piece
Dividend : $1.70
Place
F: 26938B(3)W(69.0)
( J-Lemmy Douglas )
( T-Tawhiti Hina )
This 4yo has looked capable at times, placing second twice, and now resumes after two months away from race day. This jockey is great value in these highweight races
Next Best
8 Shinagawa
F:B(6)W(67.0)
( J-Hamish McNeill )
( T-Jo Rathbone )
On debut as a 4yo so has been given time. That looked to have paid off when seen winning a trial to prepare

The 'Day's Best'
6 Bubbles Up
F: 22XB(1)W(56.0)
( J-Lily Sutherland )

Showed marked improvement on second run last December, before being spelled. Will be more developed now and the key is Lily Sutherland, in as much as she sticks
Main Danger
1 Oscar
Dividend : $2.30
Place
F: 78332B(6)W(58.5)
( J-Jonathan Riddell )

Consider
4 Swiss Belt
F: 49654B(2)W(56.5)
( J-Jim Chung )

Only 1 1/2 lengths behind Oscar last time so repeat of that gives it a place chance

Place
F: 35829B(1)W(60.0)
( J-Amber Riddell )

Forget its last run when never a chance after being slow away, against a much stronger field. Drops back from R75v and won't get a better opportunity to get back in the winners circle

Won
F: 0X024B(7)W(56.0)
( J-Jim Chung )

Te Akau brings two south for this R75 and one of them is very likely to win. Looked to be heading for the top after it won its first three races but hasn't raced for over nine months due to injury. Looks to be back on track, winning it last trial of three

Trainer has had a few winners this summer and, although this one ran last, last start, it was in fact less then five lengths from the winner. That's good enough to be in the finish here

The rest of them appear to be here to prepare for upcoming jump races. This one does have the benefit of a quality trainer and may already be well advanced in that respect
