F: X1352B(3)W(56.5)

F: 1X541B(1)W(58.0)
( J-Floor Moerman )
( T-Kevin Myers )
On paper, today's meeting is shaping up as a Myers benefit day, he has so many good chances. And this one only has to repeat its performance of last weekend, now up to 2000m, to be winning for him again. It attracted a lot of money then and was very impressive
Main Danger
8 Coney Island
Dividend : $2.20
Place
F: 21622B(12)W(57.5)

( J-Bridget Grylls )

6 Another Won't Hurt
F: X4311B(10)W(58.0)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Adam Scott )

F: 52153B(5)W(58.0)
( J-Amber Riddell )
( T-Michael & Matthew Pitman )
This Pitman runner did wonderfully well to finish third to Jungleland, considering it came out of gate 15. Nicely drawn to improve further today

F: X4314B(3)W(65.0)
( J-Billy Marshall )

Whanganui runners are to the fore in the betting here too, but they're not Myers runners. We know of the success this trainer has had in the past and he'll have this one trained to the minute for this 5600m journey

F: 04612B(12)W(57.5)
( J-Floor Moerman )

Resuming after being spelled in May after it cleared maidens, it took another Whanganui runner to prevent it from going back to back last week. Still a good effort, coming out of gate 17, and can get the job done today

Extraordinary that this 7yo had only run 6 times until this campaign and has now won two of its three starts, and that could have been all three as it missed by the smallest of margins when resuming. This Whanganui trainer has taken it to another level and it can back up last weekend's win, when it beat a Myers runner
