Verdict

AKIRA SAN (3) put a real margin on them to shed her maiden tag over the mile here last time as a well-supported favourite, and her earlier eye-catching third here gives the form more depth. Gets weight relief and profiles to relish the rise in trip. Can win again. CHANCE DE LUNE (1) is the main danger on his comfortable Ipswich Mdn win two starts back, and he now comes back from a CL3 run that was too sharp late for him. READY TO DRINK (4) was second at the Gold Coast after having trouble getting clear near the 2f, and that gives her enough substance for a minor hope if she repeats it. BLOOD RED (5) continues to leave himself with too much to do but gets the chance to be closer in the small field. Similar story for MISSILE AWAY (6).

3	Produced the standout recent performance when winning a Mdn over 1m at this track by just under nine lengths on heavy ground, beating Exobrazen as a well-supported favourite. The start prior third here was also sound after coming from well back and striking some minor traffic. Untested at 1m, but her local and wet-track profile makes her the one to beat. 1st Pick 3 Akira San Jockey: Gary Geran Trainer: Corey & Kylie Geran J: Gary Geran T: Corey & Kylie Geran	250	-	-	-	53%	10/11

1	Drops back from a Class 3 at Ipswich where he raced keenly early, moved into the race and then failed to quicken, finishing second last and beaten seven lengths at generous odds. That followed a well-supported Mdn win over 1 ³/16m, beating Aremkay by just over two lengths. Wet track and 1m records temper the win case. 2nd Pick 1 Chance De Lune Jockey: Danny Peisley Trainer: Jan Aitkenhead J: Danny Peisley T: Jan Aitkenhead	138	-	-	-	23%	7/2

2	Backs up quickly after finishing fourth in a small country field at Coffs Harbour, beaten six and a half lengths over 1 ¼m on soft ground at generous odds, and today's assignment is harder. His Toowoomba Mdn win prior had more substance, driving hard late to beat Whiskey Warrior by just over two lengths. Place claims only. 3rd Pick 2 Crunch Time Jockey: Non Runner Trainer: Chris Zintilis J: Non Runner T: Chris Zintilis	108	-	-	-	1%	1000/1
