Main Danger
4 Transaction
F: 28242B(7)W(55.5)
( J-Jack Taplin )
( T-Kylie Hoskin )
Donna Logan was confident of Rocking's chances three weeks ago so for this one to run it to less than a length, was a good run

F: 72161B(6)W(54.0)

Top Pick
Best "Each Way"
7 Pure Lotus
F: 28216B(6)W(58.5)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )
( T-Tony Pike )
A winner two back, it has Noble Cabello back in third on that occasion, and that one has gone on to win since. We like the booking of Jasmine and it represents good EW odds
Main Danger
10 Girlzgirlzgirlz
F: 41B(5)W(57.0)
( J-Tom Wigram )
( T-Donna Logan )
Donna Logan sticks with her star apprentice after he rode it to a very easy win at Tauranga three weeks ago. It to could be a star in the making and the 4kg claim really does give it a great chance, on its home track
Next Best
12 Noble Cabello
F: 5X231B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Benjamin King )
Great young trainer brought the improvement of this one last time and it was an impressive winner. Our concern is the Good track

F: X5669B(10)W(59.5)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Donna Logan )
Looked a very exciting prospect when winning as a 2yo but hasn't gone on with it. Signs that its getting back to form recently though
