Dividend : $2.20
Place
F: 6X845B(14)W(56.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Has actually promised more than it has delivered but we liked its run last start and it could well get Michael McNab back in the winners circle. The wide draw is the only concern
Main Danger
15 Intoxicated
F: 56352B(10)W(58.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Stephen Marsh runner that should have won more than the single race, having finished second 5 times! Warren Kennedy is an interesting booking as he doesn't ride for this stable as a rule
Next Best

F: 31920B(13)W(58.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

F: 9X661B(5)W(56.5)
( J-Tayla Mitchell )

Place
F: 34321B(4)W(54.0)
( J-Sam McNab )

Won
F: 14X5XB(9)W(62.0)
( J-Sam McNab )

Place
F: 23X41B(7)W(60.5)
( J-Hayley Hassman )

F: 9X035B(1)W(56.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )

Place
F: 37312B(4)W(54.0)

F: 12B(10)W(60.0)
