Race 2: GOTTA GRUNTER (1, Craig Thornley), mob. 2600m: “Been disappointing but gets a good chance. Will be off to the paddock if he disappoints again.”

Race 3: LADY MACKENDON (2, Kimberly Butt), mob. 2000m: “Was a massive win last start and a place hope if she trots here.”

KOWHAI SUNRISE (9, Blair Orange), mob. 2000m: “Her poor run last week is unexplained. Tests showed nothing amiss so on best form is a big hope.”

Sabellian, formerly with the Allstars stable, and a newcomer to the Mark Jones team. She ran an improver’s 4 lengths second to stablemate Goodness Gracious Me at the Motukarara workouts last weekend.

Race 5: ANOTHERSUPERSTAR (1, Craig Ferguson),  2600m std: “First start for the stable. I don’t know much about her. Craig Ferguson arranged her transfer to the team so he’s been doing the work. An outside place chance.”

JUNEAMY CASTLETON (11, Jonny Cox), 2, 10m, 2600m std: “Backing up after Forbury on Thursday. Chance with a good trip.”

Race 6: SABELLIAN (6, Mark), mob. 2000m: “Fresh-up for me and finds a tough field, but a speedy filly and will improve with the run.”

Outside drives

Race 1: SUNBLOC (13), 2600m std: “Jill (Smolenski) did a great job with him, giving him every chance to win one, so looking for luck from a bad draw first-up for Terry and Glenys (Chmiel).”

Race 4: SPANISH LUSTRE (5), 2600m std: “Has run a few placings but hasn’t been close from the second row lately. Could be a place show if we can stay handy from an improved draw.”
