4 | ![]() | 2X8371 | The Night Fox | 4 | Ft | Jonny Cox | Did the job in front to clear maidens 14 Jul. Capable of making the step up. EW. |
5 | ![]() | 9X0776 | Palatable | 5 | Ft | Ricky May | Caught the eye out wide 19 Jul. Broke in sole stand start. Watch him early. |
6 | ![]() | 07880X | Americano | 6 | Ft | Robbie Close | OK in two trials since last racing in the summer. Likely to need the outing. |
7 | ![]() | 305260 | Ocean Breeze | 7 | Ft | John Dunn | Found trouble on occasions 14 Jul. On stand start debut. Blowout hope. |
8 | ![]() | X59728 | Black Pearl | 8 | Ft | Blair Orange | Drops back from better field 12 Jul. First go behind the tapes, but has claims. |
9 | ![]() | 424047 | Fitzthebill | 9 | Ft | Sheree Tomlinson | Not quite at his best so far this winter. Seeking a few lengths to play his part |
10 | ![]() | 32693X | Chance On Me | 10 | Ft | Leo O'Reilly | Last raced in September. Distant 6th 09 Jul trials. Looking for luck fresh. |
11 | ![]() | 1X8992 | Kowhai Nugget | U1 | Ft | Ben Hope | Huge late out wide here 19 Jul. Won his only stand start. Worth considering. |

Book | Form | Name | Draw | Hcp | Driver | Comment | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | ![]() | 340305 | Opo | 1 | Ft | Tim Williams | Not racing with all favours recently. Conditions work out well here. Smokey. |
2 | ![]() | 483077 | Wriggles Rufus | 2 | Ft | Robbie Close | Usual honest effort here on Sunday. Doesn't win out of turn though. First4s. |
3 | ![]() | 732428 | Hit The Beach | 3 | Ft | Colin DeFilippi | 8th not as bad as it looks on paper 21 Jul. Good follower of speed. Each way. |
4 | ![]() | 251996 | Lord Mudrick | 4 | Ft | Kimberly Butt | Grinding 6th here last week. Yet to fire over this distances though. Rough odds. |
5 | ![]() | 082033 | Archie | 5 | Ft | Alana Cameron(J) | Rediscovered form recently, albeit from stand starts. Include in combinations. |
6 | ![]() | 336393 | Spiritual Bliss | 6 | Ft | John Morrison | Didn't get much room late 12 Jul. Has gate speed when needed. Consider. |
7 | ![]() | 062352 | Country Gold | 7 | Ft | John Dunn | Great Top3 bait in this type of field. Wider draw not ideal but keep onside. |
8 | ![]() | 438921 | Hi Hopes | 8 | Ft | Seth Hill(J) | Gate speed from inside draw 14 Jul. Sprinted stylishly 07 Jul. Adds to puzzle. |
9 | ![]() | 006178 | Sir Monty | 9 | Ft | Sam Thornley(J) | Just OK in July after late June victory. Race conditions not on his side. Odds. |

10 | ![]() | 397434 | Krystal Delight | 10 | Ft | Ben Hope | Not far away 21 Jul but she had her chance. Soft run likely again. Combos. |
11 | ![]() | 476847 | Kennedy | 11 | Ft | Matthew Williamson | Did it tough facing the breeze 14 Jul. Fair course/distance stats. First4s. |
12 | ![]() | 991482 | Sweet Spirit | 12 | Ft | Samantha Ottley | Brave as they come with her last-start 2nd. May be forced to do similar. Place. |
13 | ![]() | 902103 | Patiro | 13 | Ft | Ricky May | Rolled home into 3rd last Friday. No harder here. May be over the odds again. |
14 | ![]() | 521458 | Millwood Goddess | 14 | Ft | Blair Orange | Just fair here 14 Jul after getting back. Similar may unfold here. Place best. |
