---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | ![]() | 804P08 | Eastwood Dream | 1 | Ft | Gerard O'Reilly | No luck here 19 Mar but racing slightly out of his grade here. Combos crumbs. |
2 | ![]() | 523234 | Melton Magnate | 2 | Ft | Ricky May | Doesn't win out of turn but can't fault his consistency. Trifectas must again. |
3 | ![]() | 500946 | Sargent Best | 3 | Ft | Matthew Williamson | Made up plenty at Oamaru. Tosses in some good runs here. Blowout hope. |
4 | ![]() | X800X5 | Malakai | 4 | Ft | John Dunn | Didn't quite go to plan last week but gets a much better draw. Tough to bowl. |
5 | ![]() | 042184 | Franco Tim | 5 | Ft | Gemma Thornley(J) | Waited for a run last week but ran on well enough. Add to trifecta bets. |
6 | ![]() | 468681 | Taumutu Lad | 6 | Ft | Mia Holbrough(J) | Got the job done in one-win grade last week. Can press forward & place. |
7 | ![]() | 29X814 | Watching Brief | 7 | Ft | John Morrison | Rattled home here 14 Mar from well back. Deserving of a watching brief here. |
8 | ![]() | 8553X5 | Off The Edge | 8 | Ft | Olivia Thornley(J) | Useful 5th when resuming last week & drops in grade too. Don't disregard. |
9 | ![]() | 0936X5 | The Coalman | 9 | Ft | Samantha Ottley | Early error 16 Mar. Back to the mobile here but cops a wide draw. Multiples. |

12 | ![]() | 0210X2 | A Better Jackalack | U2 | Ft | Sam Thornley(J) | Chased well in R45-50 grade at Oamaru. Can push through & play a part. |
