5	994869	Woodlea Diamond	5	Ft	Kyle Cameron	Left parked last week and effort told. Needs terms if she tracks forward again.
6	740768	Apatchofgold	6	Ft	Jim Curtin	Just a run last week and faces a wider marble today. Hard to make a case for her
7	572430	Unico Realta	7	Ft	Jacob Dunn(J)	Attacked in front at Add blotting a tidy form-line. Nice grass stats; major hope
8	170976	Franco Chaplin	8	Ft	Blair Orange	Useful attempt a week ago and generally thereabouts. First 4 fringes from alley.
9	597461	Art Jordan	9	Ft
---------------------------- Second Line ----------------------------
10	727088	Rovert Decision	10	Ft	Olivia Thornley	Outfinished after sitting parked 7 days ago. Drawn for cosier sit; place bolter.
11	948043	Penny Weight	11	Ft	Craig Thornley	Furthered a strong grass record with last week's placing. Needed on all tickets.
12	200567	Motor Mouth	12	Ft	Sam Thornley	Got terms in front last week but reeled in comfortably. Hard to have from marble
13	608808	Major Henry	13	Ft	Samantha Ottley	Couldn't stick 4 days ago at Add. Form-line makes bleak reading. Draw no help.
14	390600	Troubleshooter	14	Ft	Ricky May	No threat from wide marble last week and no favours again in the draw. Risking.
15	633056	Miracle Memphis	15	Ft	Sarah O'Reilly	Caught the eye when into 5th late 2 back before sitting parked mid-week. Value.
Best Bets: Unico Realta (7), The Beach House (2), Penny Weight (11), Miracle Memphis (15)
Best Mile Rates: Motor Mouth (1-56.6), Hi Hopes (1-57.1), Penny Weight (1-57.2) [races less or equal 2000m]

Book	Form	Name	Draw	Hcp	Driver	Comment
1	94X422	Johnny Trotter	1	Ft	Jacob Dunn(J)	Just denied 7 days ago here. Major hope if he can trot off the front tape today.
2	8X5415	Dragonhill	2	Ft	Robbie Holmes	Solid up in grade following Add success. Should remain handy; combo claims.
3	441X30	Maroubra	3	Ft	Kerryn Tomlinson	Possesses a nice grass record. Unlucky at Add and he can boost course stats here
4	032113	Val Thorens	4	Ft	Ben Hope	Rallied strongly after going rough last week. Hard to hold out if he stays down.
5	609X36	Petite Trixton	5	Ft	Sarah O'Reilly	No knock on either run this campaign and she won't mind return to grass. Combos.
6	217119	Buffy Northstains	6	Ft	Mia Holbrough(J)	Fought hard a week ago after back to back successes. Genuine mare; minors must.
7	32621X	Nobilo	7	Ft	Craig Thornley	Ended last campaign in successful fashion. Tidy trial and winner on grass. Cover
8	8464X1	Musclynn	8	Ft	Philippa Wakelin	Too sharp in a fresh state when last here and will be fitter for it. In the mix.
9	735575	Amistozo	9	Ft	Jonny Cox	Went close last week after being left alone by punters. Can press the fave hard.
10	08X670	Brother Love	1	10
11	11870X	Koko Kaboom	2	10	Wilson House(J)	Off his game up in PN back in March. Happy taking notes off mark in fresh state.

Book	Form	Name	Draw	Hcp	Driver	Comment
1	58X417	Radioactive Jaffa	1	Ft	Ricky May	Ran on after waiting on pegs last week. May get back from draw but live chance.
2	21670X	Jay R Tolkien	2	Ft	Robbie Close	Midfield recent trial to prepare for today's resumption. Stats good; rough hope.
3	56458X	Bettor Be Sharp	3	Ft	Leo O'Reilly	Winner here 3 years ago but off the scene since May. Sure to improve with this.
4	97749X	Blazing Knuckles	4	Ft	Darnika Williams(J)	Hard held behind them in recent trial. Superb grass record and can strike fresh.
5	108160	Bronski	5	Ft	Gemma Thornley	Testing track at Timaru can be forgotten but yet to feature on grass; stretched.
6	874001	Shezabettorgirl	6	Ft	Olivia Thornley	Potent burst to score at Add. Looking to remain unbeaten on grass up in grade.
7	722401	Franco Elvis	7	Ft	Ben Hope	Took advantage of soft trip to score last week. This is harder; minors best.
8	323480	Commander Ben	8	Ft	Hayden Douglas(J)	Should relish the return here after mixed Add efforts. Can offer spice to combos
9	880X08	Pioneer	9	Ft	Carl Markham	Sound a week ago from similar marble. Outside place hope with favours here.
---------------------------- Second Line ----------------------------
10	844X45	Jukebox Gypsy	10	Ft	Sarah O'Reilly	Copped a nasty check when looking to close hard last week. Threat with daylight.
11	11X09	Ninth Wave Arden	11	Ft	John Dunn	Didn't quit after working hard last week. Would pay to throw into combos today.
12	511953	Kotare Argent	12	Ft	Sam Thornley	Tried hard 7 days ago earning first grass cheque. Follows the right horse; E/W.
13	8318X5	Topaz	13	Ft	Kimberly Butt	Useful resumption last week but will need to work from this alley. 1st4 fringes.
14	370773	Queen Of Swords	14	Ft	Wilson House(J)	Bold effort to snare 3rd, 16 Sept. Requires a nice tow into this from her alley.
Best Bets: Blazing Knuckles (4), Kotare Argent (12), Jukebox Gypsy (10), Radioactive Jaffa (1)
