F: 7B(6)W(56.0)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Well supported on debut but after good trial form but not really a winning chance after getting back early. This top stable will have it better for the run and with the favourite drawn wide, gets its chance

F: 74B(9)W(56.0)
( J-Michael McNab )

Not far away, at only second start, here three weeks ago and but for the wide draw we'd like her chances a bit more. Progressing and might still win
Consider

F: 2B(9)W(57.5)
( J-Matt Cartwright )

As expected by the stephen Marsh stable, had trials (winning one) before good run on debut and then given five weeks for this next run. Expect good improvement, but wide draw to overcome

F: 3B(5)W(55.0)
( J-Wiremu Pinn )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Not often you see a Te Akau runner debut at 25/1 and then run a place. The case here and obviously ran above expectations, and can take that forward from good draw
Main Danger
7 Golden Century
Dividend : $1.20
Place
F: 33B(6)W(57.0)
( J-Ryan Elliot )
( T-Tony Pike )
Has shown itself to be capable in two runs to date. Looking at his other rides, suspect this is the reason Ryan Elliot is here today

9 Nasha Mala
F: 603B(12)W(56.5)
( J-Sam Weatherley )

But for the wide draw, would have rated chances higher. Unlikely to get the lead it might like
Consider
4 Hakata Bay
F: 609B(1)W(58.5)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Margaret Falconer )
With the rails draw to keep it near the pace, we can expect an improved run

Caught the eye when resuming at Te Aroha over 1400m three weeks ago. Has clearly developed over its six month spell and can take the improvement to this extra distance

2 Exit Left
F: 1B(4)W(59.0)
