3 Evidently <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Most effective when on wet grass tracks, Evidently (3) might not get the absolute ideal surface here today but it should be damp enough to bring him right into play. Good draw to use too, so likely to roll forward and take up\u00a0<\/span>a good position<\/span>\u00a0which only further enhances the chances.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Looked a quick winner first up this campaign with a bold second at\u00a0<\/span>Blenheim, but<\/span>\u00a0not much has gone to plan for Help Me (7) since. Finds a pretty winnable race here though and if able to get away well and find a good spot then should be right in the business end of proceedings.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

A\u00a0<\/span>really strong<\/span>\u00a0debut effort from Selsey Mae (4) at Methven last time out to finish third in a handy enough maiden field. This is no harder and with the aid of race experience should be really in the fight here today. Very even looking field but her form should stack up well.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

More bad than good of late from Senior Constable Liz (2) and gets a few important ticks today that enhance the winning prospects.

Never expected it would take this long for Ultimatum (6) to win a maiden, but here we are. Will not get a better opportunity than the one presented today to make something happen though and it really does seem as though only bad luck will have him beaten.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
