Manners will be key, but with them, she looks one of the better chances.RACE 3 @ 6.14PM - #7 BUDDY GOODPut a line through his last start given the trip he had and the time they ran. On exposed form he’d have to be a key player....

A second row draw and a full field will bring a few challengers, but he’s a must include.RACE 5 @ 6.51PM - #8 OPA’S GIRLI’m happy with her steering Cambridge way, however a wide barrier over a sprint, makes it tough. Fingers crossed she finds some luck.RACE 6 @ 7.22PM - #7 BETA PREPARELeader Peter left the field breathless last week. There’s no reason he can’t repeat the dose.RACE 6 @ 7.22PM - #8 LI...

While he has a second row draw to overcome, I believe $6.50 is overs.RACE 1 @ 4.59Pm - #13 LULANAThere was plenty to like about last weeks win. Even from the draw she’d have to be one of the leading hopes.RACE 5 @ 6.57PM - #6 SKYS LEGACYOff the back of his win he’s stepped into a very good field. He’ll need a bit of luck to feature.RACE 5 @ 6.57PM - #9 MAKOHis clo...

I’m sure the pace will be on if Barbarossa displays his home track tactics. Look for him to be storming into it late.RACE 6 @ 7.59PM - #2 MIDFREW LANDOHe was nothing short of massive at Manawatu. In a mo...

The horse he follows out flies the gate so he’ll get a good drag through. If he brings his best form he can feature.RACE 6 @ 8.04PM - #10 SKYS LEGACYHe didn’t have a lot of luck at Manawatu so we’re hoping for a change of fortune. Exposed form isn’t strong so he gets his chance. Don’t write him off....

It’s a field full of form, and he has a tricky draw. Let’s hope he gets an opportunity to show his best.RACE 6 @ 7.22PM - #7 ROUGH AND READYIt was a super effort on Tuesday. The extra distance will play into his hands tomorrow. He looks a leading chance....

He has a lovely draw to contend with and on exposed form looks a great each way chance.RACE 6 @ 6.36PM - #4 SKYS LEGACYA drop in grade looks enticing. He’s another who’d have to be each way all day.RACE 7 @ 7.07PM - #5 ROUGH AND READYA 30 metre handicap over the sprint trip will make it tough. Having said that, it’s only a small field. Look for him to be fighting out the finish with Melton Mogul....

Her workouts have been sound, and the draw swings in her favour. I’m expecting a tidy showing.Signman's debut effort four months ago showed he has plenty to offer. His last workout was super, and on exposed form he looks a nice each way chance.Critical Image has had a couple of quiet confidence runs at the workouts. He’ll need luck fr...

Her debut effort some five months ago confirmed she has a bit to offer. She'll benefit from the outing, but still looks a good each way chance.Race 5 @ 6.58pm - #3 NazareLike his stablemate Lulana, he is fresh up. His workout was sharp and on exposed form he also looks a nice each way hope.Race 9 @ 9.08pm - #6 Ragnar LothbrokThis guy doesn't know how to run a bad race. It's an even field with every h...
