EW Places: 1/5 ODDS - 3 PLACES

Verdict: TIZMARKUS is a firm selection. He can take advantage of the likely hectic pace up front and can confirm superiority with Mr. Butch and Golden City Street who were behind him when last seen.

Oink

Jockey: Kelsi Harr Trainer: Robert Cline Age/Wt: 5/8-13 F: 8

Comment: Beaten 8l just behind Kensington Cove and Lord Hennessy in runner-up and third (50-1) last week over C&D; claiming tag now upped from $40k; could improve but still hard to see him winning here.

Giant Moon

Jockey: Cristian Torres Trainer: B Cox Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 6

Comment: Ran a bit below expectations on his debut when not far behind Mr. Butch over C&D at 2-1 29 days ago; from a powerful trainer; could have a say if finding progression from his early experience and he is dropping into a maiden claimer for the first time.

Taken On The Run

Jockey: Alberto Pusac Trainer: Brett Creighton Age/Wt: 3/8-8

Comment: This son of Texas Chrome makes first appearance; this doesn't look easy against experienced rivals so overlooked unless the market says otherwise.

Golden City Street

Jockey: Jane Elliott Trainer: Tim Dixon Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 770

Comment: Yet to manage better than seventh in his three races; behind two of these last week when 11th here in a maiden special weight; not easy to fancy despite dropping in class.

Bigwrigdude

Jockey: Erik Asmussen Trainer: Greg Burchell Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 94

Comment: Beaten 1½l three weeks ago when sent off 20-1 (sloppy track) in a maiden claimer; up in class (in for $50k here, $30k tag last time).

Ferris Star

Jockey: Rocco Bowen Trainer: Richard Jackson Age/Wt: 3/8-8

Comment: Racecourse debut for this son of Sticksstatelydude; this one is best watched, unless market signals suggest otherwise as he may come unstuck against experienced rivals.

Mr. Butch

Jockey: Ricardo Jr Santana Trainer: Michael Maker Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 3-4345

Comment: Has shown some ability, knocking on the door on occasions; finished fifth but wasn't beaten too far (6l) last week in a maiden special weight; should prove competitive.

Lord Hennessy

Jockey: Francisco Arrieta Trainer: Ernie Witt Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 43

Comment: Quick away to lead from a wide draw in a maiden claimer when splitting two of these rivals last Friday; higher claiming tag here so class rise to contend with; could have a say.

Red River

Jockey: Amanda Poston Trainer: Burl McBride Age/Wt: 4/8-3 F: 09-90

Comment: Still searching for first win after five tries; behind Kensington Cove in a maiden claimer when last of 12 last month; in for a $50k tag so up in class ($20k last time); could be an uphill struggle.

Tizmarkus

Jockey: Tyler Bacon Trainer: Chris Hartman Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 3324

Comment: Fourth but beaten just less than a length when 14-5 a week ago with Mr. Butch and Golden City Street behind in a maiden special weight; now drops into a maiden claimer for the first time so is a leading player.

Kensington Cove

Jockey: Ramon Vazquez Trainer: Terry Brennan Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: -72

Comment: Finished ahead of two of these rivals in a maiden claimer when second at 33-1 (beaten just over 4l) last Friday; claiming tag now upped from $40k; likely to be a threat.
