Big stable reputation and looks to be in for a good season. Impressive win when resuming before being a bit off them in a G3 last start
Main Danger
2 Rudyard
F: 9x300B(3)W(57.0)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Tony Pike )
This one gives Tony Pike a strong hand in the race and was in fact only 1/2 length behind Witz End in the G3 three weeks ago. Well drawn

The 'Day's Best'
8 Hitabell
F: 15B(1)W(55.0)
( J-Courtney Barnes )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Massive performance 10 days ago in the Soliliquy, finishing just over two lengths behind Alabama Lass, and that one would be long odds on for this. That was only its second start and we loved how it finished the race off. Rails draw to advantage
Main Danger
9 Levakia
F: 2231B(9)W(55.0)
( J-Sam Spratt )
( T-Ken & Bev Kelso )
Anything from this stable has to be respected and this filly is making good progress, coming into this off a nice win with today's jockey on board. Wide draw a bit of a concern
Next Best
1 Altari
F: 16x2B(5)W(57.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Te Akau runner that resumed with a good run for second at Te Rapa three weeks ago ,after several trials to prepare. A good prospect and will be competitive

6 Moving Melody
F: 1x23B(1)W(58.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Bruce Wallace & Grant Cooksley )
Michael McNab resumed riding last weekend and he's certainly making up for lost time ... this could be another winner. Just beaten (by Overdrawn) in both runs this campaign, hard to beat from rails draw
Main Danger
8 Wind Of Change
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 278x2B(2)W(57.5)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Tony Pike )
Given his runner beat Moving Melody in its last two runs, Tony Pike will have a fair idea where this one rates today. Won trial prior to second when resuming
Next Best
1 Tossuforit
F: 60x23B(7)W(59.5)
( J-Ngakau Hailey )

1 1/2 lengths behind Wind Of Change when resuming, and favourite, we expect it to be thereabouts today
Consider
5 Frostfair

Top Pick
12 Pinky Pie
F: 3x22B(6)W(55.0)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
The Marsh stable does well by giving his runners a prep run on the synthetic and it nearly paid off for this one, just missing by the nod of the head in a photo finish here two weeks ago. Promising and the favourable draw in a competitive race can pay dividends
Main Danger
2 Delz Abeel
F: 33xB(10)W(58.5)
( J-Sam Spratt )
( T-Tony Pike )
Tony Pike runner that will be better for the spell, having finished close up in both races, when well fancied, last campaign. Won trial to prepare, albeit in the Heavy
Next Best
13 Dua Dance
F: 5x6B(2)W(55.0)
( J-Ace Lawson-Carroll )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Never a chance in the Heavy when resuming but judging by its trial win on Good footing two weeks ago, will be more of a chance today
Consider
1 Berenhard
F: 2B(11)W(58.5)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Denise Jeffcoat )
Has to go into your reckoning, not only on the back of a good performance in only start, but also because it has seen a lot of early support

3 Awhina
F: 82174B(7)W(57.0)

Astute trainer. Ran well to finish in behind High Country here last time and can get back to winning form, with Ryan Elliot being handed the reins

1 Sporting Chance
F: x1604B(13)W(61.0)
( J-Ngakau Hailey )

Scratched on the weekend due to Heavy track conditions. Not far away in an Open last start and should like the step up to 2400m for the first time today

Place
F: x5833B(12)W(55.5)
( J-Matt Cartwright )

Main Danger
11 Subiaco
F: 35B(7)W(57.0)
( J-Sam Spratt )
( T-Peter & Shaun McKay )
The McKay stable also run this gelding and it performed well is a restricted race last time, in what looked like a stronger field than this
Next Best
5 Lanikai
F: 0x446B(10)W(58.5)
( J-Vinnie Colgan )
( T-Tony Pike )
Three seconds from 12 starts (all last season) would suggest this Tony Pike runner won't be a maiden for much longer. Three runs this time up so fitness shouldn't be a factor now
Consider
22 Sonoran
F: 65B(11)W(57.0)
( J-Kelly Myers )

F: 5x736B(16)W(56.5)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Chris Gibbs )
A lot of support for this one three weeks ago when resuming over 2100m. This 1600m should be more to its liking

Best "Each Way"
2 Cyber Patch
F: x2212B(7)W(60.0)
( J-Sam Spratt )
( T-Catherine Cameron )
This one has to be at the forefront of your calculations as it has been in superb form in its four starts since returning from a spell, winning once and runner up three times - and it only missed by the nod of its head at Te Rapa three weeks ago. OK draw and Sam Spratt to ride again, it looks the best EW shot for the day
Main Danger
4 Don Pauly
F: x2294B(10)W(59.5)
( J-Matt Cartwright )

After two wins to open its campaign, considered good enough to take on the Aussies and ran two terrific races, including just over four lengths behind Onesmoothoperator in the Geelong Cup last time ... and that one's well fancied to win today's Melbourne Cup. Much improved 6yo and can take this out

F: 1x490B(2)W(59.0)

Quality galloper. Drops back from a really competitive G! last start and now second up over the 2000m this campaign, rates a strong chance

Sticking with the McKay stable in this too, as it does look the value at these odds. Always considered a galloper with ability, the McKay partnership look to have found the winning formula and it could get a deserved result here

Won
F: 2x343B(3)W(58.0)
( J-Vinnie Colgan )

Was entered up for an earlier race, so note the decision to run in this and an obvious danger. Just the five races and open to improvement, it finished alongside Strange Love last start

8 Nepheti
F: 12x45B(5)W(56.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Shaune Ritchie & Colm Murray )
Promising run into fourth when resuming but didn't follow through with that at Te Rapa six weeks ago. Clearly things weren't right and was given time. Look for it to bounce back
Next Best
5 Dimaggio
F: 29x05B(10)W(57.5)
( J-Lily Sutherland (a1) )
( T-Tony Pike )
Tony Pike runner with a bit of ability and we note Lily Sutherland is renewing her partnership. It showed much improved form in its run here ten days ago and is on the quick back up
Consider
1 Wolverine
F: 07x42B(2)W(63.0)
( J-Ngakau Hailey (a3) )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
A quiet day for the Te Akau stable but they rate a chance here in the last. Ever so honest and consistent, it needs to be taken into your calculations. Nice inside gate
Longer Odds
2 Lhasa
F: 45312B(3)W(60.0)
( J-Sam Spratt )

Its earlier form has been on the synthetic and its run consistently well. Raced here on the turf last time and might well have beaten the Tony Pike runner, overdrawn, so has to be rated in this
