OLD TOWN ROAD (2) won very well fresh up carrying 57kg. After a 3kg claim will carry 56.5kg in this. He is a dual winner when third up. Can make that three times today. MALBOROUGH BAY (7) he is a quinella and trifecta must here at 53kg after a claim. He has been three times placed from five course runs. Logical main threat. IDEAL (6) the local mare has won fresh up before. She has won here at home before. Has won on dry and wet conditions too. Tote will be very telling. SOLDIER BOY (5) he is course proven. Senior rider on here. Definite chance after scratchings. JUST A TIPPLE (10) was not too bad a run fresh up. Drawn out again. He has won second up.
