Dividend : $2.50
Place
F: 21614B(6)W(54.5)
( J-Sienna Brown )

Won
F: 92411B(5)W(60.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-J & R Vance )

Consider

( T-Ross McCarroll )
Fourth to Nicconi Country here three weeks ago but now is 4 1/2 kg better off and rails draw to boot
Longer Odds

F: 7693XB(2)W(56.5)
( J-Lynsey Satherley )
( T-Stephen Ralph )
Resumes on the back of a winning trial and could be the one to boost your multis

Dividend : $3.40, $1.55
Won
F:B(10)W(54.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )

Dividend : $2.05
Place
F: 24622B(4)W(58.5)
( J-Joe Doyle )

With 4 wins from its 12 starts, it has the credentials to be winning. Showed good heart when tried to get to the leader, and heavily backed local, here two weeks ago
Next Best
6 President Fir
F:B(5)W(58.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Donna Logan )
Local on debut. Stable has been going well and could show up
Consider

Resuming after running some good races in first campaign, when Craig Grylls rode. Stable always has then ready fresh up

Place
F:B(13)W(58.5)

Top Pick
6 Iridescent
Dividend : $1.45
Place
F: 85161B(2)W(54.0)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )
( T-Michelle Bradley )
Scratched in Race 1 in preference for this, where it looks well placed. Trained on the track and comes to a weak Open class race after winning a R75 well here two weeks ago
Main Danger
1 Spencer
Dividend : $4.80, $1.70
Won
F: 0X845B(7)W(62.0)
( J-Tom Wigram )
( T-Peter & Shaun McKay )
A 9 time winner, it would be winning this even if close to its best, and it might be just that. Was in a stronger race than this last time and gets the 4kg off its back today
Next Best
5 Moneypenny
F: X1642B(3)W(54.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Barbara Kennedy )
Was expected to win here two back but couldn't pull Iridescent back in the run to the line
Consider
3 Santa Catalina
F: 5708XB(6)W(54.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Peter & Shaun McKay )
Second runner in the race for these trainers and will want further. But resuming so could sprint well fresh
Longer Odds
7 Just A Tipple
F: 84553B(4)W(54.0)
( J-Niranjan Parmar )
( T-Gavin Opie )
Better run last start and gets a good opportunity to improve further, given there is no depth in the race

Top Pick
8 Cheerful Smile
F: 98X72B(1)W(56.5)
( J-Tom Wigram )
( T-Jenna Mahoney )
17 start maiden but has run second four times, confirming the ability is there to be winning a maiden. One of those seconds was last start and rails draw to advantage today
Main Danger
9 Merriama
Dividend : $3.30, $1.55
Won
F: 30X64B(5)W(56.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Kylie Hoskin )
Definitely showing more potential than the majority than these and with Michael McNab sticking, that's a good endorsement
Next Best
2 Wing And A Prayer
F: 4336B(4)W(58.5)
( J-Rihaan Goyaram )
( T-Ralph Manning )
Just the four starts and taken to the CD to get a win on the board in its last two, to no avail. But stable in good form
Consider
3 Departure
F: 604B(10)W(58.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Donna Logan )
Locally trained and has been well supported in latest two, of three career starts
Longer Odds
Best "Roughie"
4 Loose Change
F: 57X76B(3)W(58.5)
( J-Ace Lawson-Carroll )
( T-Moira & Kieran Murdoch )
Although it finished sixth in its last start here two weeks ago, it was only 1 3/4 lengths away, in what was a much improved run

Top Pick
The 'Day's Best'
1 Alker Traz
Dividend : $1.75, $1.14
Won
F: 3B(1)W(58.5)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )
( T-Michelle Bradley )
Not surprisingly, it got back when on debut here two weeks ago, having drawn gate 14. But it was a real eye catcher when finishing on to good effect in the straight. Rails draw today
Main Danger
3 Centanni
F: 626X8B(2)W(58.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Warren Lund )
Just a length behind Alker Traz two weeks ago, when resuming. A good run for a $34 shot, and Craig Grylls adds to its chances today. Inside gate
Next Best
12 Seduire
F: 0X705B(9)W(56.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Sophia Nolan and Hanna Orting )
Although a 13 start maiden, its three runs this campaign have been a lot better. Masa will ensure it gets every chance
Consider
5 The Pen Is Mighty
F: X57X7B(7)W(58.5)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Terry Powell )
Resumed two weeks ago and was only 3/4 length away from Alker Traz. Can't be left out of your reckoning
Longer Odds
4 Tall Timber
F: 780X4B(6)W(58.5)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Shaun & Emma Clotworthy )
Resumed here from a 5 month break two weeks ago and did look a much improved galloper, and its performance reflected that

Race 6 - 15 AUG CAMBRIDGE STUD NORTHLAND BREEDERS STAKES
Time: 3:08 PM | Distance: 1100 m | Prize $ 35000
Top Pick
1 Walkin In Memphis
F: 614XB(6)W(57.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
Close up in all three races last campaign, all Stakes races, winning one of them. Resumes and will be more mature from three months out, and the key to its chances is that Craig Grylls sticks
Main Danger
3 Honorable
F: 2B(7)W(56.0)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )
( T-Paul Pertab )
Only 1/2 length off the winner when on debut in June. Resumes, having been scratched a couple of times, and could be quite smart
Next Best
9 Arcadia
F:B(11)W(54.0)
( J-Tom Wigram )
( T-Donna Logan )
Interesting that trainer has her talented apprentice on this filly on debut, as he isn't riding her horses in earlier races. Backed down from an opening $15
Consider
7 She's No Saint
Dividend : $2.80, $1.40
Won
F: 36X61B(10)W(55.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Michelle Bradley )
Goes in although it has drifted in the early markets. Won its last start in June, a Stakes race, so the ability is there
Longer Odds
12 Tip Top
F:B(4)W(54.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Certainly can't discount the chances of a Stephen Marsh/Michael McNab partnership, even if it is on debut

Race 7 - HARCOURTS BREAM BAY
Time: 3:40 PM | Distance: 1600 m | Prize $ 35000
Top Pick
5 Transaction
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 82425B(2)W(55.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Kylie Hoskin )
Although fifth here two weeks ago, it was less than 1 1/2 lengths behind Iridescent and that one could well frank the form when it runs in Race 4 here today. Inside gate and Masa can provide the winning edge
Main Danger
1 Solidify
F: X0607B(3)W(61.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-G A & D G Rogerson & Clint Isdale )
Giving this former exciting 2yo one last chance, on the back of Craig Grylls being in the saddle and this is a lot weaker than the field it was up against in an Open last time
Next Best
4 Texas
F: 64543B(5)W(57.0)
( J-Erin Leighton )
( T-Nicholas Bishara )
In behind Bourbon Proof last time and could turn that around this time as it has only recently returned from racing out of the Kevin Myers stable
Consider
2 Bourbon Proof
Dividend : $1.35
Place
F: 95062B(7)W(59.5)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Michelle Bradley )
Although a winner of only two races, it has won nearly $250k. Just missed in a tight photo finish three weeks ago
Longer Odds
6 Elysian Fields
F: 70X96B(9)W(54.5)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Terry Powell )
Third up today so should be competitive come the business end. Not far behind Transaction two weeks ago

Top Pick
Best "Each Way"
1 Ashoka
Dividend : $1.75
Place
F: 24222B(9)W(60.0)
( J-Tom Wigram )
( T-Tony Pike )
Providing this talented young apprentice can get it into a good position, it should be winning. Just the 12 starts and only one win, but has been runner up 7 times! So well in here and the 4kg claim is a bonus
Main Danger
15 Arabella
F: 30X03B(2)W(56.0)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Michelle Bradley )
Only 1/2 length behind Ashoka here last time and an inside gate, makes at a value bet at these odds
Next Best
2 Halo's Fire
F: 359X5B(5)W(59.5)
( J-Ethan Jones )
( T-Mark Forbes )
This 4yo has a bit of class and wasn't far away in the Derby in March. Finished on strongly over 1300m when resuming 10 days ago and drawn to improve on that today
Consider
12 Miss Seth
Dividend : $2.00
Place
F: 55X61B(10)W(57.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Kenny Rae )
Good improvement from resuming run saw it win on its home track two weeks ago. Drawn wide today but the addition of Craig Grylls today could counter that
Longer Odds
14 Watermelon Sugar
F: X5551B(8)W(56.5)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Michelle Bradley )
Locally trained and the locals went for it big time here three weeks ago, getting the desired result. There might be more to come

2 Sweet But Psycho
Dividend : $1.45
Place
F: 75432B(6)W(59.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
A three time winner already, this 6yo gets in relatively well here against the likes of maidens, despite the 59kg. There's a few strong favourite chances on the card and this one should send punters home happy
Main Danger
13 Paper Romance
F: 4722B(3)W(55.5)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Aimee Black )
Just the four runs and has two close up seconds from its last two starts. Despite being a maiden in a R65, it does look the biggest danger
Next Best
4 Tide And Time
F: 94676B(5)W(58.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Kenny Rae )
Early money has come for this locally trained runner and the fact that Craig Grylls is on the reins, puts it in with a strong chance
Consider
9 Suavetta
F: 90487B(1)W(56.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Shaun & Emma Clotworthy )
Only two lengths behind Sweet But Psycho here two weeks ago, Masa now takes the reins, with a good draw in its favour
Longer Odds
7 Zolzaya
F: 60934B(14)W(57.0)
( J-Tom Wigram )
( T-Kylie Hoskin )
Just 1/2 length behind Sweet But Psycho two weeks ago, it is an improver and would be rated higher but for its wide draw
