Kamra¹⁷⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: R Winston| T: M Herrington| OR: 77| D

5/1

Yet to win a handicap and his current mark looks up with events having been reassessed following a good run here last summer over 6f. He looks vulnerable over this trip following an absence and with his usual headgear missing.

Form: 364273-

(5)

Impart¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: D O'Meara| OR: 75| D

5/1

Looked in need of the run when ridden by a 7lb claimer on his return to action. Stronger handling employed, but suspicion that he may want a stiffer 5f than this.

Form: 59822-6

(3)

Big Lachie¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: A Mullen| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 72| C| D

7/2

Took advantage of a reduced mark to score last time and end a long losing run. He remains potentially well-handicapped now that he has rediscovered his form.

Form: 420-881

Midnightly^t¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: M Harley| T: Rae Guest| OR: 70| CD

10/1

Made all to score over C&D in August under this rider off the same mark. Evidently needs to lead and there are others in this who could potentially thwart her attempts to do that.

Form: 4219-56

Something Lucky^v⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: M Appleby| OR: 68| CD

3/1

In tremendous form at present and seems sure to get the good gallop he requires. Just denied over 6f here last time and a return to this trip with a strong rider booked makes him the one to beat.

Zipedeedodah^t⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J Tuite| OR: 67| CD

12/1

Losing run has now reached 17 but he has slipped to an attractive mark as a result. He has won twice here in similar grade and four of his seven career wins have come under this rider. Well drawn and worth watching in the market.

Form: 58-4386

(8)

Red Stripes^b¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁷⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 66| BF| D

6/1

Has struck up a good partnership with this rider lately, but he is now 4lb higher than his last victory and 0-15 here. Others look more attractive options.

Form: 3-71623

(6)

Swendab^b¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 8-11| J: Ben Robinson⁽⁵⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 65| CD

20/1

Admirable veteran and winner of three lower grade races during October-December, but has struggled at this level on his last two starts.

Form: 1121-68

Forecasts

Something Lucky (3/1), Big Lachie (7/2), Kamra (5/1), Impart (5/1), Red Stripes (6/1), Midnightly (10/1), Zipedeedodah (12/1), Swendab (20/1)

Zipededoodah and Midnightly are attractively weighted with the former also boasting a favourable draw on a track that suits. Big Lachie took advantage of a falling mark to end a barren spell last time and he has shown in the past that he can maintain his form once he finds it. SOMETHING LUCKY is enjoying a good winter and the likelihood of a decent pace may set this up nicely for him.
