  Race 1 - Head To Trackside.co.nz (Bm65)

  Time: 11:51 AM | Distance: 1400 m | Prize $ 75000
• Top Pick

  

  1 Ethereal Star  

  F: 454x7   B(4)  W(61.5)

   ( J- Rihaan Goyaram )

   ( T- Andrew Forsman )

  When this one won its first (and only) race it looked to be a class act but never went on with it. Won a trial before resuming from a spell recently and if anywhere near its former peak, wins this

  Main Danger

  

  13 Queen Zou  

  Dividend : $2.50

  Place

  F: 241x7   B(11)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Never looked a winning chance last time, albeit winning a trial to prepare beforehand and being well supported. So we're looking for an improved run here

  Next Best

  

  5 Moving Melody  

  Dividend : $2.10

  Place

  F: 1x235   B(8)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Bruce Wallace & Grant Cooksley )

  A model of consistency in first four runs, having won on debut, we thought it was a tad disappointing last time. However, it looks certain to be among the placegetters here, despite wide draw to overcome

  Consider

  

  7 Rockin Rosie  

  F: x2765   B(7)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Sam Weatherley )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Gives the Stephen Marsh stable a strong hand in the race and this one favoured by a good draw

  Longer Odds

  

  12 Lovearoadie  

  Dividend : $10.10, $2.80

  Won

  F: 338x4   B(5)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Vinnie Colgan )

   ( T- Graham Richardson & Rogan Norvall )

  Two lengths ahead of Queen Zou last start so the odds do look generous

• Top Pick

  

  5 Phantom Dragon  

  F: 60x52   B(7)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Rihaan Goyaram )

   ( T- Pam Gerard )

  Pam Gerard has had a great run since going it alone as a trainer and this one was nearly another winner at Rotorua last month. The step up to 1600m should be OK

  Main Danger

  

  6 Withallmyfaith  

  Dividend : $5.30, $2.10

  Won

  F: 4x721   B(9)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Jenna Mahoney )

  Broke through for its maiden win at Tauranga last week when stepped up to 1600m for the first time. That was impressive and now on the quick back up, a good sign

  Next Best

  

  14 Unequivocal  

  F: 219x3   B(11)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Andrew Forsman )

  This is a galloper that may be a bit better than average. Caught the eye in its resuming run and would have been our Top Pick had it drawn better

  Consider

  

  7 Mcgrath  

  F: 56x64   B(3)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Ryan Elliot )

   ( T- Moira & Kieran Murdoch )

  Not sure it deserves to be favourite, even though its last run was encouraging. But rarely does the market lie so there must be confidence coming from somewhere

  4 Lerado  

  F: 649x0   B(8)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Masa Hashizume )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Although it was 10th when resuming, it was only four lengths behind Frostfair, and that looks like a pretty decent type. Looks the odds player here

  Won

  F:   B(2)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Wiremu Pinn )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  A very smart looking colt out of the Te Akau stable and the style of its wins in all three trials suggests it will take something pretty smart to beat it. Nicely drawn

  Main Danger

  

  2 Vega For Luck  

  Dividend : 

  Place

  F: 13   B(7)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Vinnie Colgan )

   ( T- Ben & Ryan Foote )

  Hot favourite, and won like one, when on debut in early October and a good run for third in its subsequent race

  F: 2   B(3)  W(55.0)

  Consider

  

  3 That's Gold

  4 Jolted  

  F: 1x432   B(8)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Vinnie Colgan )

   ( T- Ken & Bev Kelso )

  Kelso trained 4yo that stepped up to middle distance again at Tauranga three weeks ago and just missed, having been successful over the other two times it had run over the distance. That was a Open and drops back here. Vinnie is having a great season and can add to his tally here

  Main Danger

  

  5 Final Return  

  F: 72x96   B(12)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Kevin Stott )

   ( T- Janelle Millar )

  New Plymouth based trained who has been racing at Ellerslie this campaign. Took on the big guns in G3 last time and not far off them, and now gets back to more its level. Unfortunate to have drawn the car park

  Dividend : $2.90

  Place

  F: x7151   B(5)  W(60.0)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- Bruce Wallace & Grant Cooksley )

  High Country is well thought of in the Tony Pile stable and this one beat it last start. In top form right now and a strong chance here

  Dividend : $3.10

  Place

  F: 5x754   B(2)  W(57.0)

  Tony Pike will know how this one rates, through a line with Son Of Sun, and has an inside draw to help

  11 Awhina  

  F: 21740   B(10)  W(56.5)

  7 Arabian Songbird  

  F: 00x11   B(14)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Masa Hashizume )

   ( T- Roger James & Robert Wellwood )

  Realising the promise it showed as a 3yo and jockey riding on a wave right now. No reason it won't be there at the finish, although actually winning out of gate 17 will be a challenge

  Won

  F: 30x11   B(1)  W(53.0)

   ( J- Joe Doyle )

   ( T- L Noble )

  Has matured since its 3yo campaign and the last two runs have not only been winning ones but there progression there. Rails draw today and can improve on its 50% wins/starts strike rate

  1 Crocetti  

  F: 2x17x   B(2)  W(60.0)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- Danny Walker & Arron Tata )

  A winner of eight from ten, four 'fresh up', it is clearly the one to beat, given the stable are pleased with its preparation. Nicely drawn in two and should be quite a contest

  3 Babylon Berlin  

  F: x37x1   B(7)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Vinnie Colgan )

   ( T- Ben & Ryan Foote )

  Has a ton of pace so this 1100m suits it perfectly. Showed it was in good heart when winning fresh up at Te Rapa two weeks ago and sure to put them to the test in the straight

  F: 9x453   B(5)  W(59.5)

  13 Inspired By Art  

  F: 78x16   B(10)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Wiremu Pinn )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Although sixth last start, it was still a good effort in that it was only 1 3/4 lengths behind progressive Shoes. Showed its ability when winning fresh up, with Frostfair three lengths back in third and can bounce back here

  F: 2x211   B(2)  W(56.5)

   ( J- George Rooke )

  5 Joshua Brown  

  F: x4219   B(8)  W(57.5)

  4 Terra Mitica  

  F: x7003   B(6)  W(53.0)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- L Noble )

  This 5yo out of the Lance Noble stable is a genuine Open handicapper and looked back to its best form when finishing third in G3 OMF Stakes at the beginning of the month, finishing less than a length behind Wolfgang. Clearly it was ready for the step up to 2000m then and takes improvement

  F: 11642   B(2)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Peter & Shaun McKay )

  Since the son joined the training partnership, the stables strike rate has been very good. This one ran well for second in the G3 last time but just wonder if it might be found out in the extra 100m today

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )
