Grant Thornton Handicap (Div I)

Miss Australie won last time out and has experience of today's trip and conditions, with a speed rating of 70 lending further weight to her claims; the concern is that she carries 148 lb on just an eight-day turnaround.

God Of Thunder has run over today's trip and going, and a rating of 64 — ranking him third of seventeen — marks him as a live threat on his best form; yet he arrives winless in his last six starts and his trainer is striking at just four per cent recently, which is the concern.

Winless in her last five starts, Vervain does bring distance and going experience to the table, and her second two starts back shows she can get involved, but carrying 137 lb looks a stiff task for a filly rated 55.

Winless in his last six starts, Maxwell Smart does at least bring distance and going experience to the table, and a third two starts back hints at some residual ability; however, the weight of 132 lb and a modest official rating of 50 suggest he faces a stiff task from the middle of the pack.
