6 Cast Of Diamonds
Dividend : $1.00
Place
F: 46B(5)W(57.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Tony Pike )
With the scratching of its main challenger, it looks the likely winner if its first two runs are any indication. Strong trainer/jockey partnership
Main Danger

Dividend : $5.20, $1.50
Won
F: NoneB(2)W(57.0)
( J-Jonathan Riddell )
( T-Guy Lowry & Leah Zydenbos )
On debut. Won only trial comfortably and the third was 5 lengths away. Nice draw and might go close

Dividend : $1.40
Place
F: 0X358B(1)W(56.5)
( J-Ryan Elliot )
( T-Cody Cole )
Got back last start but finished on strongly over them in the straight. Hard to see it not in the mix
Consider
1 Coinneach
F: 7X538B(3)W(58.5)
( J-Jim Chung )
( T-John Bary )
Bit disappointing last time after improved run at Whanganui. Might bounce back
Longer Odds
2 Sid's Mate
F: 8X7B(6)W(58.5)
( J-Kate Hercock )
( T-Daniel Champion )
Better for first up run and won a trial at Foxton over 1400m, so this 1600m should be within its compass

Main Danger
1 Massive Prince
F: X5231B(7)W(59.0)
( J-Jim Chung )
( T-Fraser Auret )
Put space on them when winning on Boxing Day and was never going to be caught. Might not get such an easy lead today but looks useful and still a strong chance

Place
F: 78493B(1)W(57.0)
( J-Sam Spratt )

Place
F: 93631B(7)W(57.0)
( J-Lily Sutherland )

5yo with just the 8 races and a win strike rate of three. Looked very progressive when winning last start and can go back to back

Place
F: X2302B(5)W(58.0)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Ashley Meadows )

Consider
4 Bellucci
F: 0X126B(3)W(57.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Peter Didham )
Clearly has to go in, given the ability it has shown to date and with the stable being on a good run

Top Pick
6 Glitzy Glory
F: 4X1B(4)W(55.0)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Walker/Bergerson )
Came down to the 'Opie' factor when it got up late at Tauranga when resuming. Looks talented and this is not a strong field so can go on with it, with Opie on the reins again
Main Danger
9 Sudbina
Dividend : $4.10, $1.70
Won
F: X2164B(7)W(55.0)
( J-Kozzi Asano )
( T-James/Wellwood )
Showing a lot of potential and considered good enough to run against Lupo Solitario and Orchestra last time. This a whole lot easier
Next Best
5 Bella Corno
F: 51033B(5)W(55.0)
( J-Chris Dell )

7 Duncan Creek
F: 26421B(6)W(54.5)
( J-Kate Hercock )

Can't deny this one's honesty. Three wins but in fact 7 seconds in 22 starts, and very capable of winning this

F: 62322B(3)W(54.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-John Bary )
Running very well this campaign and not beaten far in most starts ... might well have won a couple. Put Warren Kennedy on its back and it has to be in contention
Consider
1 Diss Is Dramatic
F: X5113B(5)W(60.0)
( J-Kozzi Asano )

F: 52383B(2)W(53.0)
( J-Kelly Myers )

6yo gelding with big reputation. Yet to fulfil but running well and lost chance at start, two back. Terrific run when going close at Pukekohe and can get back in the winners enclosure here

Loved its win two back and actually ran well in Dunstan Final (considering it came out of gate 14) to finish not far off them. Nice inside gate this time and Warren Kennedy is back

14 Savacat
F: 2X361B(12)W(56.5)
( J-Opie Bosson )

Opie riding in the last is an indication this one rates strongly. Just the 9 runs and commanding win at Tauranga and can go in again
Main Danger
1 Extortion
F: 66251B(11)W(60.0)
( J-Ryan Elliot )
( T-Cody Cole )
This is a galloper we think can rise through the grades. Progressive last time and young trainer does well bringing them south

10 Endean Affair
F: 7X723B(1)W(57.0)
