F: 5x220B(7)W(58.5)
( J-Lily Sutherland )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
Andrew Forsman sends south and looks to in-form Lily Sutherland to get it home today. Drops back from R65, has the best credentials in the race and just needs to overcome draw

Won
F: 02253B(12)W(57.0)
( J-Kate Hercock )
( T-James Wallace )
Thought this 3yo would have won by now. But it has gone OK, placing second three times and run well in a G3 two back. Kate Hercock is reunited and that should do the trick
Main Danger

Place
F: 47x33B(10)W(56.5)
( J-Lisa Allpress )
( T-Shaune Ritchie & Colm Murray )

4 Taupo Dancer
F: x8760B(13)W(58.5)
( J-Marc Lerner )
( T-Kylie Fawcett )
Its last two runs have been promising, both at Ellerslie, so this should be easier. Note it has been backed down from 31's since the open and that means it needs a closer look

F: 4x101B(7)W(55.0)
( J-Niranjan Parmar )

F: 12820B(9)W(58.0)
( J-Elle Sole )
( T-John Wheeler )
Has to be there on class alone, having run in the G3 NZ Cup at Riccarton in its last race. Has won fresh up before and these stayers often sprint well fresh
Longer Odds

F: 039x2B(6)W(54.0)
( J-Leah Hemi )
