Shortest win price
Zavega (6)
2.40
Moree plays host to the Hutchinson Builders Benchmark 66 over the sharp 950m dash on a soft 5 track under fine skies. Looking at how the win market has shaped up for this afternoon's sprint, punters have zeroed in on Peregrina Pearl sitting right at the head of affairs in the market order. Following closely behind in the betting are Zavega and Denman Bandit, with Kate's Tiara rounding out the initial group as we get ready for a sharp dash.
Digging into the form lines behind those shorter prices, Peregrina Pearl comes into this off a freshen-up for trainer Melissa Dennett, bringing a strong recent win at Scone over the 900m trip where she scored from a deep gate. Meanwhile, Zavega is prepared by A and T Sweeney and arrives fresh after showing plenty of fight to claim a handicap win at the Gold Coast. Denman Bandit for Brett Thompson also holds claims off a consistent previous campaign that featured a tidy Wellington victory.
For those chasing a bit of value further down the page, Desert Cougar lines up from barrier one for trainer T G Payne with Ashley Butler in the saddle, and the rider brings strong recent stats that might attract attention. The speed map suggests a keen battle up front with Denman Bandit, Peregrina Pearl, and On Hold all listed as leaders, so this dash could develop into a testing affair over the short 950m scamper.

Armidale winner two back then did a few things wrong at Port Macquarie. Handles the wet. Can figure on best form but needs some luck.
ILB
Started $18.00 and didn't attack the line when 8th last start at Port Macquarie. Must be considered here.
RP
Not disgraced when eighth at Port Macquarie 21 days ago; this line-up contains some strong opposition so easy enough to take on.
RSIS
Started 17/1 and gave away some ground when 8th last run at Port Macquarie. Quietly confident of a big run at decent odds.

First-up (19-weeks). Form tidy through last campaign, including a Wellington win. Went close in Class 1 company at Dubbo first-up last campaign. Rates among the better chances.
ILB
First up after a break. Was $6.00 and peaked towards the finish when 5th last run at Tamworth but back to a shorter trip. Has early speed and positions nicely. Must respect.
RP
Has been fairly consistent lately; respectable fifth over 6f at Tamworth (handicap) in June; returns from a layoff; knows how to win so deserves respect.
RSIS
Resuming after a break. At 5/1 outmuscled in the late stages when 5th last start at Tamworth but back to a shorter trip. Should muster plenty of early pace. Could feature prominently.

Aiming to complete a hat-trick and resume shows that she is a proven winner (seeking a sixth career win); got home in front by a nose (Gold Coast) five weeks ago; must go on the shortlist.

Picked up nicely to win last time at Gold Coast and has a good draw. Made it 2 wins in a row but up in grade. Displays good tactical pace. Attracts support.

Odds of $6.00 and chased well when 5th last run at Grafton. Will be trying to topple them late. Definitely worth considering.

Not beaten that far in fifth (3l) at Grafton over 5½f (handicap) last month; a winner over this C&D; a few rivals look in good form so not one to rely on.

Quite a while since she tasted success; finished last of five at Come By Chance last month; this looks a decent race so looks risky.
