We don't expect there to be much between the two favourites but this one looks the value. Super consistent, Michael McNab can be the winning factor

Excellent run for second when resuming and from a stable in form. Rails draw

6 1/2 lengths behind Hammer Time last start suggests it won't be winning but on prior form rates a place chance

Has been thereabouts in recent races, finishing close up at times, so has to be given a chance

Just over three lengths behind Hammer Time when they met here last start so 12's looks like odds value

Three wins from five starts on the synthetic and alongside Side Eye when they met here four weeks ago. In form stable but it is Sam Weatherley's presence that adds the confidence

Warren Kennedy rides and will be hard to beat. 1300m was too short for it last time

Up a rating band after a nice win last start but a galloper we think has good potential so can be in the finish here

Joe Doyle is back and had a winner yesterday. Sure to be improved for resuming run

Loves the synthetic and surprised them two back. Can never write off

Just the four runs but already showing the potential to rise through the ranks. Another from this in form stable, with Sam Weatherley also riding, and likely to enjoy the step up to 1550m

Had to love this one's win when resuming. Only its second race in 11 months so plenty of improvement comes out of that run

Finished on strongly over 1300m to get up here two weeks ago, when second up. Fitter now and better over the 1550m, while Kelly Myers takes the reins and adds to chances

Less than a length behind Lemon Curd last start and might add value to the multis

Two lengths off the winner when resuming two weeks ago and trainer has had a few winners recently

Caught the eye as a galloper with potential when running well on debut and was subsequently beaten less than a length here, over distance, two weeks ago. Warren Kennedy has ridden previously and sticks

Has had plenty of racing on the turf but that has been in the Heavy. Returns to the synthetic here (one run, one win previously) with Michael McNab up and that might improve its fortunes

Te Akau runner that has won a couple, including when fresh up. Drawn better than most of the favoured runners here

Looks a place contender despite the wide draw

Not a lot of depth in the field so open to a front runner kicking on. This one's drawn the rails and could be that surprise

Trainers with good strike rate here and they feel they've got this one in good heart to resume, after being freshened. Late to the track after going to Hong Kong but experiencing set backs, it looked an exciting prospect when bolting in In May on its debut. Has won a trial since

4yo we have a liking for. Just the seven runs but has chalked up two wins and two seconds this campaign. Drawn the rails for synthetic debut

Taken to the central districts and picked up two wins there on the synthetic. Michael McNab now rides but this tougher

Promising type that trainer took to Ruakaka in early May in order to secure a firm track. Paid dividends with the win and is not out of this

Winner of last two, by short margins, and goes in as outsider looks likely to trail the field in

Got the better of Forsetti by two lengths when behind Malmaison here four weeks ago, finishing close up second that day. Now has front running specialist jockey up and that should see it get home

Showed up as a likely winner towards the end of its last campaign and duly won on the synthetic before being freshened. Hopefully can carry on where it left off but at $2.60 to do so, that's a bit short

Improved to run second here two weeks ago, when stepped up to 1300m. Has rails draw but likely to find it difficult to drop back to 970m today

Stable going well and gets 2kg claim from improving apprentice

Looks to have developed nicely during spell, having won a trial since and followed up with a close up fourth when fresh up

Stable rated this one's chances here two weeks ago, when stepping up to 2000m for the first time, and it finished to good effect to get up. Joe Doyle replaces Michael McNab this time and will be better for that last run experience. Rails draw for good run

his is the danger. Finished strongly to win over 1550m here two weeks ago, to win as it liked in its first start on the synthetic. Extra 450m should be perfect and Warren Kennedy sticks

Pushed The Chosen Tosen all the way to the line last start and likely to be close again today. A win is not far away

Form this campaign says it has to be in and made a good fist of first attempt over 2000m last start

Has shown itself to be capable in recent starts and so we were a bit disappointed in its first run over the middle distance last start. Deserves another chance to show up

Good stayer resuming and there's no substitute for class, of which this one is over the others in this field. Won a two horse trial easily to prepare

Six times a winner and they've all come here, only missing twice. Bolted in over 1550m four weeks ago but yet to prove itself over 2000m or more

Up from the central districts on the back of a last start win. That was a commanding effort in the finish and might go on with it

Being prepared for $100k race here in a couple of weeks so might just need this

If you're needing a 'roughie', then this one looks best of the outsiders
