Terrific run when fresh up at Avondale last month, just a length behind the winner. That was on a Good track but looks likely it will handle the Heavy

F: 24B(5)W(58.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )

Just the two races and best of those was on debut when coming out of gate 13. Had won a trial in the Heavy prior so today's conditions shouldn't be an issue
Next Best
4 Romanin
F: 53X65B(2)W(56.5)
( J-Rory Hutchings )
( T-Steven Ramsay & Julia Ritchie )
Just over a length behind our Top Pick last start and close up in recent races, suggesting it won't take much to change for it to be winning. Rory Hutchings takes the reins today and will get the best out of it
Consider
11 Rocky Marciano
F: 22680B(8)W(58.5)
( J-Niranjan Parmar )

16 start maiden but has put in some good runs and we thought it would have won by now. Worth some consideration

1 Let's Dance
F: 70X33B(9)W(58.5)
( J-Joe Nishizuka )

Hard to oppose the Pam Gerard stable at the moment. This one was 1/2 length behind Show Merican when they ran third to Ammiriti 3 weeks ago and looked to have upside

Andrew Forsman has this 3yo filly progressing nicely and its noted Craig Grylls rides. We expected he would be with the Cody Cole runner

Main Danger
3 Benerro
F:B(6)W(58.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )

Great to see Opie back on race day and he might well get an early winner with this 4yo on debut. It will certainly be well up to winning, as its two winning trials show

2 Super Wraith
F: 76X22B(10)W(60.0)

Just the four runs and looks to have a lot of potential. However, this one's best two races have been on Good tracks too and with the wide draw as well as the Heavy today, there's better 'value' in the race

Second to a very good prospect when resuming, its only win was on a Heavy track. Good trainer/jockey
