   ( J- Mereana Hudson )

   ( T- Olivia Duffy )

  Main Danger

  F: 44546   B(3)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Joe Doyle )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  Place

  F: 01581   B(3)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Samantha Collett )

   ( T- Kurtis Pertab )

  Trainer had two winners on Wednesday and has brought a competitive group down for this meet. Make no mistake, this 4yo is very smart and hasn't got much to beat here, on past form

  Main Danger

  

  2 The Underbelly  

  F: 0X309   B(1)  W(60.0)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Kurtis Pertab )

  6 Highly Lethal  

  F: 88174   B(6)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Kate Hercock )

   ( T- Brendon McDermott )

  Consider

  

  3 Comedy  

  F: 828X5   B(5)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Liam Kauri )

   ( T- Harvey Wilson )

  Back up to a more suitable distance, having run over 1600m in a highweight last time. That will have sharpened it up

   ( J- Samantha Collett )

  Dividend : $2.70

  Place

  F: 33281   B(3)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Elen Nicholas )

   ( T- Howie Mathews )

  That win in a highweight two weeks ago would have been a confidence booster and should run well again

  F: 00275   B(7)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Lily Sutherland )

   ( T- Joshua Lavelle & Sacha Rennie )

   ( J- Chris Dell (+1kg) )

   ( T- Andrew Campbell )

  Got the nose in the right place at the right time at Whanganui last week and steps up to 1600m again today. Yet to win at the distance in 11 starts but Andrew Campbell has this 7yo in fine form and much improved

  Main Danger

  

  12 Zantabulous  

  F: 31232   B(5)  W(53.0)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Te Akau are confident of a strong showing and with its consistent run of placings and close up finishes, you can understand why. Craig Grylls is now in the saddle

  4 Omega Boy  

  F: 61108   B(2)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Toni Davies )

   ( T- Peter and Trent Didham )

   ( J- Samantha Collett )

   ( T- Kurtis Pertab )

  Northerner with good ability, having its first run in the Heavy. But has been running well and should be too good for these if handling those track conditions

   ( J- Floor Moerman )

   ( T- Sue Thompson-Brown & Mick Brown )

  Good winner two back at Whanganui on a Heavy track so today should suit. Excuse last run when winner led them from a long way out and was never going to be caught

  Consider

  

  2 Complex  

  F: 24073   B(2)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Madan Singh )

   ( T- Ilone Kelly )

  Albeit it was in only a small field at Whanganui last week, it ran home well for third. Comes out again and should be improved
