F: 2B(5)W(55.5)

Nice debut for the Tony Pike stable when finishing within a length of the winner three weeks ago. Natural improvement sees it as a strong contender today

15 Pinky Pie
F: 268X8B(3)W(55.5)
( J-Courtney Barnes )

Stephen Marsh runner that will have taken improvement out of resuming run two weeks ago. That was on a Heavy10 so will be more at home in these track conditions

F: 2B(11)W(57.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )

After showing up at the trials, it was well supported here four weeks ago and went well. Although Craig Grylls sticks, the wide draw is a challenge today
Consider
5 Fantastic Smile

Won
F: 565B(5)W(58.5)
( J-Ryan Elliot )
( T-Tony Pike )
Good runs in all three starts and not far off the capable Wind Rush last start. Tony Pike moves it up to 2100m for the first time today and that might see it greet the judge
Main Danger
2 Intoxicated
F: 22B(7)W(58.5)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Another galloper stepping up to middle distance today after running with promise in both runs to date, over 1600m. Unlucky not to have won on debut
Next Best
4 Radradra
F: 62628B(1)W(58.5)
( J-Ace Lawson-Carroll )

Although a 16 start maiden, things could be different given it's been second four times. Rails draw and extra distance to suit

1 Denver
F: 98222B(14)W(58.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Danica Guy )
Although it likes to be on the pace and that's going to be tough from a wide draw, its recent form is undeniable. It has been second three times from just six starts

Still a maiden after 12 runs, which surprises us a little, as it looks to have that winning ability. Drawn well today and with the favourites drawn wide, might grab its chance
Main Danger

F: 80X3B(2)W(58.5)
( J-Lynsey Satherley )
( T-David Greene )
That was a nice run into third three weeks ago, when resuming after ten months off the track. Won a trial prior and inside gate gives it every chance today

F: 3B(16)W(58.5)

1 Bannen
F: 2227B(12)W(58.5)

Three seconds and a close up seventh at Trentham last time says this one can't be left out. Drawn wide but maybe Craig Grylls can work the magic

Showed the benefit of experience when up there on the ace last time and running on well all the way to the line. More of the same possible from gate 3 today

3 Rise Companions
F: 2B(12)W(58.5)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Simon & Katrina Alexander )
Not surprised to see this one paying just $2.50 as it was very impressive in winning its trial prior to going close on debut. With that experience and an extra 200m, we'll be surprised it anything beats it
Main Danger
1 Compulsory
Dividend : $1.80
Place
F: X2732B(2)W(58.5)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Tim & Margaret Carter )
Looks the logical threat, albeit a 24 start maiden and a 6yo. But it should be noted its placings have come in this preparation, so its a better galloper than in previous campaigns. Inside draw

6 Fastdeeldun
F: 5B(4)W(58.5)
( J-Matt Cartwright )

Excuse this Stephen Marsh runner's debut run, when well fancied but never in the race, won by the exciting mo Charaid. There's little depth in this field so expect it to be thereabouts

Good luck to the commentator calling this one home .... and we think he might. Chad Ormsby only runs his gallopers when they're a winning chance, it's drawn an inside gate, and this race is wide open
Main Danger
2 Neffu
F: 532B(16)W(58.5)

Despite the wide draw, it has to be a big chance in a race where nothing really stands out. Came home well last start so expect Joe will look to settle it off the pace early

Despite the wide draw, it looks the one to us. Last start it was only 1 1/2 lengths behind promising Mo Charaid and a repeat of that effort takes it close
Main Danger
5 Superior
F: 272B(9)W(57.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )

Two seconds from three starts suggests it won't be far away. Likes to run on the pace and with Craig Grylls up, that's a prefect challenging position

3 Clear Conscience
F: 42345B(12)W(57.5)

15 Loveofmylife
F: 8XB(10)W(57.5)

Warren rides for his trainer wife and that's a good sign as their strike rate is good. Better for recent run and, although this is a big field, there's nothing that that is compelling

3 What A Yarn
F: X5442B(9)W(60.0)

It comes into this after a last start second, and Craig Grylls remains on the reins, and just the wide draw a concern. They're not giving anything away at 4's though

There's a number in this race that we can get a line on through their runs behind Croupier last time and this one went well, less than two lengths away. Does seen a bit over the odds, coming out of the inside gate
