Expecting a keen tempo with Port Chalmer set alight, joined by Curtsy and Ribella Rose up front. CRICKET (13) is a locally trained filly who has raced her way into some good form. She was less than a length from the winner when fourth at Whanganui nearly 3 weeks ago, and she is on target to crack her maiden win on her home track. DERRICK (3) caught the eye with an impressive finish for third on debut, and then got too far back in a tougher field at Trentham just over 3 weeks ago. The step up to a mile will help him, and back in this class, he can take it out. PORT CHALMER (2) has been trying to win a race for some time, but has not been far away on some occasions. He was close up in fourth place last time out, and despite a wide gate, he can figure in the top 4 again. JACOBITE RISING (1) ran a much better race second up at Whanganui last time out when finishing third, and only a neck back from the winner. Craig Grylls steps into the irons, and the pair merits healthy respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cricket can win this.
