2 | 160665 | | | Hundie | 2 | Ft | Dexter Dunn | Little in the way of space behind nice 3YO at Addington. Can threaten from draw. |
3 | 002403 | | | Groomsman | 3 | Ft | Matthew Williamson | Old campaigner still putting in some tidy efforts. First4 prospect from alley. |
4 | 183300 | | | His Royal Harness | 4 | Ft | Leo O'Reilly | Not quite rounding out his races on grass in recent starts. Happy to watch. |
5 | 3005X0 | | | Jonty James | 5 | Ft | Blair Orange | 2L from Sheez Good 13Mar trials since flat fresh run at Ashburton. Odds. |
6 | 336194 | | | Mister Slick | 6 | Ft | Craig Thornley | Unlucky 4th at Reefton after failing to fire at Westport. Likely improver. |
7 | 2010X0 | | | Johnny White | 7 | Ft | John Dunn | His own worst enemy early at Addington but showed ability up north. Danger. |
8 | X7087P | | | Motu Speedy Star | 8 | Ft | Ben Laughton(J) | A past winner on this course - yes, this course. Won 14Mar trial. Take notes. |
---------------------------- Second Line ---------------------------- |
9 | 701008 | | | Just N Awe | 9 | Ft | Ricky May | Punched through usefully at Motukarara. Reliant on those in front. Odds. |
10 | 002456 | | | Playboy Prince | 10 | Ft | Sheree Tomlinson(J) | Steady enough after leading then trailing at Addington. Looking for late gaps. |
11 | 727160 | | | Immortal Change | 11 | Ft | Samantha Ottley | Disappointed after getting buried on markers 18Mar. Tricky alley. First4s. |
12 | 008519 | | | Clarendon Falcon | 12 | Ft | Gerard O'Reilly | Briefest of bids at Reefton when looming wide. Prefer him on the pace. |
13 | 007090 | | | Every Option | 13 | Ft | | |
14 | 002180 | | | The Jandel Machine | 14 | Ft | Peter Davis | Pulled a flat tyre for the last bit at Reefton. 2nd row spot makes it tough. |
15 | 513980 | | | Doc Seelster | 15 | Ft | Daniel Reardon | Tidy grass starts, but couldn't kick on from nice spot at Wyndham. Long odds. |
