9TH JAN TO HAVE YOUR SAY AND SUBMIT PBD

Stake: $2,800

JILLIBY FINALE (2) proved too good last time out claiming her maiden success at Wanganui Straight over 313m (18.26). Gets a bonus run in this grade and sure to prove hard to beat. SPRINKLE JEAN (4) stuck on well last time to finish one length back in third (18.14) at Wanganui Straight in a Class 0 over 313m. Has not gone a bad race in all three career starts. Bold showing expected. SMALL TOWN BOY (8) delivered a moderate run last time when fifth at Wanganui Straight over 313m behind JILLIBY FINALE (18.44). One of the main contenders. ZIP THE ZIP (3) can sneak into the finish while fresh. Has been racing in strong maiden fields.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 1.4 lengths over 313m at Wanganui Straight in a handy 18.26, beating Grasscutter Dash. Deserved winner last time after finishing in the money three on end prior to that. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Has raced three times and is overdue for a win, the latest offering a third (18.14) over 313m at Wanganui Straight. Can take this out on the back of that sound recent effort.

Modest effort last time out when sixth over 313m at Wanganui Straight. Needs to show something before tipping.
