This race is proving to be a bit of a formline for a few runners going around right now. This one wasn't far away, despite its $135 odds, and could surprise them

6 Freebelle
F: 61447B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Jim Chung )
( T-Robbie Patterson )
Three wins from its 9 starts so good ability. Over this distance for the first time and, if managing that, should be winning this after running a good race here three weeks ago
Main Danger
7 Golden
F: 94350B(6)W(55.0)
( J-Leah Hemi )
( T-Steven Ramsay & Julia Ritchie )
A northern runner with good ability and will find this field easier. Leah Hemi is a great booking
Next Best
3 Gallant Hero
F: 55001B(10)W(58.5)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Clinton Isdale )
Surprise winner last time after running against the likes of Solidify prior. Stable has a great record when venturing south and this one might go on with it
Consider
5 Procul Boy
F: 11X70B(2)W(57.5)
( J-Mereana Hudson )
( T-Gail Temperton )
Goes in for consideration as its wins last campaign were very impressive, but on Heavy tracks. Third up today now so fit enough
Longer Odds
8 Free Spirit
F: 81087B(5)W(54.5)
( J-Erin Leighton )
( T-Howie Mathews )
That was a pretty decent field it was in here 3 weeks ago and looks the best of the 'roughies'

Place
F: X1362B(10)W(57.5)
( J-Leah Hemi )
( T-Trudy & Vaughan Keegan )
This Hawera stable has had more winners in recent months than it has in a long time and is worth sticking with. It took a promising type to beat it here two weeks ago
Main Danger
1 Wire Rope
F: 5X3X3B(11)W(60.0)
( J-Liam Kauri )
( T-Bill Thurlow and Sam O’Malley )
Trainer has always thought well of this one but it was a bit wayward earlier on. Good run when resuming and ready to show its best

4 First Gear
F: 5X574B(9)W(58.0)

F: 651B(12)W(59.0)
( J-Kate Hercock )
( T-Dan O'Leary )
Only came to race day as a 6yo, back on October, and already this good trainer has produced a win. Has to go in as a chance at odds

11 Stone The Crows
F: X2090B(8)W(57.0)
( J-Chris Dell )
( T-J J Rayner )
This is a poor field and presents an opportunity for this JJ Raynor runner. Not a bad run on a track that was probably a bit form for it last time and only win came here
Main Danger
2 Mohi Place
F: 1X940B(4)W(60.0)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Johno Benner )
Forget last start when taken north, racing in a much stronger race. It was up to 2100m then too, and that didn't work. Freshened and back to 1600m
