Nice set up here for Art Jordan (1) today from a good draw.

Some\u00a0<\/span>really strong<\/span>\u00a0efforts of late from\u00a0<\/span>Taumutu<\/span>\u00a0Lad (6) since joining the Sarah O\u2019Reilly stable and the third at Methven behind Rena looks nice form for a race like this.

Decent work recently from Maroubra (2) and while the wins\u00a0<\/span>aren\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0stacking up, the experience is and seems to be getting better with each effort. A big chance to land on the speed here in what is a very\u00a0<\/span>wide open<\/span>\u00a0trot and if able to grab the sweet trip, can have the final say.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Up from the deep south and building in confidence,\u00a0<\/span>Putere<\/span>\u00a0Boy (10) can be the\u00a0<\/span>somewhat surprise<\/span>\u00a0packet here today.
