Verdict

HELLINDA (9) keeps racing well without winning. He's been accepted at three venues, but is suited here and jumps from an inside gate. The in-form Boudvillian sticks aboard off the Cootamundra placing. The Seib yard has been placing its horses well. MARVEL MAN (5) just missed the hat-trick at Mudgee, improving his numbers again. Costin will use the low gate and the speedy galloper will get every chance to bounce. GRINS (2) was quickly back on track narrowly beaten at Dubbo. That reads well enough and she can get a cosier run from the better gate. Cahill is a key jockey switch replacing the 3kg apprentice. RIDE THE RIVER (6) is sure to go better third-up and back to country level. His best numbers would have him right in it, and it's hard to risk the Baker yard at this venue.
