The 'Day's Best'
1 Tomasina
Dividend :
Place
F: x9712B(3)W(60.0)
( J-Yogesh Atchamah )
( T-Sabin Kirkland )
A good winner two back and it wasn't too far away when second last time out. Going well and the small field is there for the taking.
Main Danger
2 Intercept
Dividend : $1.70
Place
F: x4621B(2)W(55.5)
( J-Krishna Mudhoo )
( T-Graham Eade & Brooke Kincaid )
Built towards a good win at Gore in heavy conditions. Slightly different conditions here but it should be running well again.
Next Best
3 More Sass
F: 2x200B(6)W(54.0)
( J-Ashvin Goindasamy )
( T-Kelvin Tyler )
Could pay to forgive and forget its last two runs. Better than that and that's reflected in betting odds. Allow another chance.
Consider
6 Freddie Time
Dividend : $3.80, $1.90
Won
F:B(1)W(54.0)
( J-Donovan Cooper )
( T-Kelvin Tyler )
Getting down to 52kg helps the debutant, who has been specked at nice odds. Inside draw is another bonus.
Longer Odds
5 Ex Aye
F:B(4)W(54.0)
( J-Abdul Najib )
( T-Maurice Forde )
Could show speed on debut at the light weight. Not an easy field but upsets happen in small fields quite often.

Top Pick
12 Lady Diva
Dividend : $1.70
Place
F: 354B(6)W(55.0)
( J-Yogesh Atchamah )
( T-Maurice Forde )
It's running well enough this prep to suggest a win isn't far away. Drops in weight and it doesn't get a better chance to shine.
Main Danger
6 It's Marlin
F: 7x60B(9)W(57.0)
( J-Ashvin Goindasamy )
( T-Kelvin Tyler )
Yet to show anything but it keeps getting backed. That's a good sign and punters patience could finally pay off.
Next Best
13 Sight To See
Dividend : $2.60
Place
F: 7B(3)W(55.0)
( J-Savish Khetoo )
( T-Kelvin Tyler )
Dropping to 52.5kg could make a big difference after running seventh on debut. In good hands and it could turn that form around.
Consider
1 Short
F: x5433B(11)W(58.5)
( J-Kylie Williams )
( T-Anna Hewitson )
Looks to cap off placings at Ascot Park and Gore. Right around the mark lately and it's odds have shortened.
Longer Odds
10 The Real Treasure
F: 50x98B(8)W(56.5)
( J-Corey Campbell )
( T-Robert Dennis )
Better for two runs this campaign and there has been some betting interest. Upset danger.

Race 3 - Nzb Mega Mdn Series
Time: 12:55 PM | Distance: 1400 m | Prize $ 25000
Top Pick
1 Chance
F: x7404B(1)W(58.5)
( J-Terry Moseley )
( T-Anna Hewitson )
Over the odds following a solid fourth. 21 starts with only two placings, but that could change here and it has good winning claims. Take a chance on it.
Main Danger
8 Mamaea
Dividend : $1.60
Place
F: 245x3B(4)W(55.0)
( J-Krishna Mudhoo )
( T-Kelvin Tyler )
Never too far from the winner and it shouldn't take long to win a maiden race. Should get all favours in the run.
Next Best
7 Yoo Hoo Joy
F: 623B(12)W(56.5)
( J-Brett Murray )
( T-Terry Kennedy )
Liked its placings at Wingatui and it handles tracks with the sting out of them. That bodes well and we could see late money come for it.
Consider
9 Indie Ardie
F: 8x5B(14)W(55.0)
( J-Kylie Williams )
( T-Kelvin Tyler )
Drawn very wide but it comes into calculations with some cover in the run. Solid last start and a repeat takes it close.
Longer Odds
12 Arctic Ocean
F: 6B(9)W(55.0)
( J-Ashvin Goindasamy )
( T-Maurice Forde )
Met a tough field on debut behind Pivotal Ten. Easier here and that could be apparent.

Top Pick
6 Helldancer
F: 5x133B(6)W(57.0)
( J-Ruvanesh Muniandy )
( T-Brian & Shane Anderton )
Showed good speed when winning first-up in NZ. Only moderate since but it meets an even field and it could put them away nicely.
Main Danger
7 Lemon Curd
Dividend : $3.90, $1.60
Won
F: 136x3B(4)W(57.0)
( J-Yogesh Atchamah )
( T-Robert Dennis )
A nice resuming run for third at Ascot and it has good upside. Win came on the synthetic, which is our only worry.
Next Best
10 Foreign Affair
Dividend : $2.90
Place
F: 8x60xB(13)W(55.5)
( J-Donovan Cooper )
( T-Kelvin Tyler )
Didn't show much last prep but it's better than that. Comes south for easier racing and gets it, so don't overlook its chances.
Consider
8 Miss Firehawk
F: 4x624B(10)W(57.0)
( J-Rohan Mudhoo )
( T-Kalai Selvan )
Never too far away and it's better than a one-win type. Overdue a win and it has a chance to add value to multiples.
Longer Odds
1 Times Up
F: 33x70B(12)W(59.0)
( J-Kylie Williams )
( T-Steven Prince )
Better for two runs this prep and fitness levels should be peaking. Chance at double-figure odds.

Top Pick
4 Medina
F: 753x1B(7)W(57.0)
( J-Donovan Cooper )
( T-Robert Dennis )
Got the job done nicely fresh up and there's no reason why it can't keep winning. Dropping to 55kg is ideal and it just needs to handle conditions.
Main Danger
5 Adiktiv Passion
F: 100x4B(6)W(56.0)
( J-D Montes de Oca )
( T-Leda Beck )
Doesn't mind the sting out of the track and there have been solid betting moves for the fav. Should be right around the mark.
Next Best
9 Monaghan Boy
Dividend : $3.80, $1.60
Won
F: 32177B(11)W(54.0)
( J-Abdul Najib )
( T-Kelvin Tyler )
Hasn't fired since breaking maidens but we're prepared to give it another chance. Dropping to 51kg should make it dangerous.
Consider
3 Industrialist
F: 01953B(3)W(58.5)
( J-Floor Moerman )
( T-S McKay )
A winner at Wingatui earlier this prep. Yet to fire at Riverton but getting some weight relief on a soft track helps.
Longer Odds
Best "Roughie"
1 Exchange
F: 2997xB(4)W(62.0)
( J-Ruvanesh Muniandy )
( T-Brian & Shane Anderton )
A proven fresh-up performer and it could go under the radar. It also loves running over this distance.

Top Pick
Best "Each Way"
6 Stolen Magic
F: 21431B(7)W(54.5)
( J-Ashvin Goindasamy )
( T-Robert Dennis )
An impressive winner last start and it could rise the grades down south. Punters get much better odds than expected.
Main Danger
2 Theoden
F: x3232B(14)W(59.5)
( J-Corey Campbell )
( T-Leda Beck )
Should have won this prep after posting four consecutive placings. A nice type that just needs a touch of luck to win more races.
Next Best
1 Miss Layla
F: 66803B(11)W(59.5)
( J-Yogesh Atchamah )
( T-Anna Furlong )
Better when third at Ashburton but it has become a take on trust type. We're giving it one more chance based on that effort.
Consider
5 Cee Are El
F: 13317B(12)W(56.5)
( J-Ruvanesh Muniandy )
( T-Brian & Shane Anderton )
Didn't fire last start but its win prior at Ascot Park was good. Drops in class and that could make all the difference.
Longer Odds
8 Lily Of The Valley
F: 4x835B(8)W(54.0)
( J-Abdul Najib )
( T-Bill McNamara )
A past winner at Riverton and that can't be overlooked. Well worth including with the claim dropping it to 51kg.

Top Pick
3 Buoyant
F: x4441B(6)W(58.0)
( J-D Montes de Oca )
( T-Sabin Kirkland )
Showed its class when winning at Wingatui and it could kick on with it. A five-time winner in soft conditions and over the distance.
Main Danger
7 The Hangover
F: 2x263B(8)W(55.5)
( J-Donovan Cooper )
( T-Robert Dennis )
Could be an omen runner today and it has been close with two placings this campaign. Good enough to win at the weights.
Next Best
10 On Song
F: 798x1B(9)W(54.0)
( J-Abdul Najib )
( T-Robert Dennis )
Drops to 51kg following a win at Ascot Park. Meets more depth to this field but it's a past winner at Riverton, so it can't be overlooked.
Consider
6 Riviera Rebel
Dividend : $4.80, $1.90
Won
F: 1952xB(10)W(56.5)
( J-Kylie Williams )
( T-Graham Eade & Brooke Kincaid )
Another solid winning hope in a tough field. Two wins from three starts at the track and it went close behind Par Tee last time out, so it's a solid form guide.
Longer Odds
2 The Good Shepherd
Dividend : $3.20
Place
F: 13524B(7)W(60.0)
( J-Floor Moerman )
( T-Lee Callaway )
Experienced and it will appreciate the claim off its back. Good enough to figure in the finish and pay a price.

Won
F: 16715B(8)W(60.0)

Main Danger
12 Radiant Reach
F: 9x433B(12)W(56.0)
( J-Kylie Williams )
( T-Kelvin Tyler )
Better for three runs in and it hasn't been far away. Best form comes on heavy tracks but it should be fighting out the finish.

Place
F: 93012B(10)W(58.0)
( J-Yogesh Atchamah )

Consider
11 Patraine
F: 30x94B(9)W(56.0)
( J-Corey Campbell )

Main Danger
8 Lucienne
F: 53x08B(5)W(57.0)
( J-Yogesh Atchamah )

Next Best
2 Choux Macher
F: 27x37B(1)W(59.0)
( J-Floor Moerman )
( T-Kelly Shearing )
It owns a win and a placing at Riverton and getting the inside draw with 4kg off its back is a bonus. Shortening odds.
Consider
9 Mabel
F: x0551B(7)W(57.0)
( J-Corey Campbell )
( T-Brian & Shane Anderton )
A winner at Gore in heavy conditions last start. A good way to break maidens and it could kick on with it.
Longer Odds
5 Maximus Augustus
F: x1420B(12)W(58.5)
( J-Abdul Najib )
( T-Bill McNamara )
Liked its fresh up win and something close to that would be enough. Worth including at the odds.
