2	5	Motukarara Muzz	2	Ft	Leo O'Reilly	Solid enough 1st-up run on the Orari grass. Should be better for that; exotics.

4	0100X3	Nickel And Dime	4	Ft	Wilson House(J)	Resumed in style 2 weeks ago at a big place price. Closer alley to use here; E/W
5	X51195	Kotare Argent	5	Ft	Sam Thornley	Useful 5th at Orari and better drawn here. Capable of a bold showing here; spice
6	11X0	Ninth Wave Arden	6	Ft	John Dunn	No threat 1st-up at Oam with little support. Back in recnt w'out; market watch.
7	221X88	Stumpy Blackler	7	Ft	Tim Williams	Hand enough this time in to suggest he can feature despite the wide marble today
8	0880X0	Pioneer	8	Ft	John Morrison	Never likely returning to the track, 18 Sept. Happy watching again from the draw
9	213164	Monkee Major	9	Ft	Seth Hill(J)	Completed first 4 with sound Oam outing. Another wide alley to use; minors best.
---------------------------- Second Line ----------------------------
10	158X41	Radioactive Jaffa	10	Ft	Ricky May	Undeniable burst at Add to score, 23 Sept. Handy grass record; look for him late
11	1844X4	Jukebox Gypsy	11	Ft	Sarah O'Reilly	Handy resumption 2 weeks ago and likely to get a nice trip through. Rates highly
12	449725	Classie Linc	12	Ft	Sheree Tomlinson	Racing with purpose and looking to further strong course/dist. stats. Minors mix
Best Bets: Jukebox Gypsy (11), Nickel And Dime (4), Rakero Maximus (3), I'm Rockin (2)
Best Mile Rates: Rakero Maximus (1-59.0), Jukebox Gypsy (2-03.8), Classie Linc (2-04.7) [races between 2001m and 2400m]
