Looked as though it needed the fresh up run. Finished second and that was a good effort considering, so put on top.
Main Danger
3 Wal
F: 5x634B(10)W(58.5)
( J-Terry Moseley )
( T-Peter Didham )
All around the mark this campaign and it doesn't have to lift much to win. Due a win and it could exit maiden grades.

2 Darkhan Roar
F: 358x3B(8)W(58.5)
( J-Brett Murray )
( T-Ashley Frye )
Third fresh up at Kurow and the form out of that race holds up. Tricky draw but it likes the conditions.

7 Unleash The Beast
Dividend : $1.80
Place
F: 2B(7)W(57.0)
( J-Leah Hemi )
( T-Kenny Moore )
It didn't do much wrong on debut when finishing second. Could get a nice drag into the race and slingshot them late.

8 Channa
F: 83633B(2)W(56.5)
( J-Ayush Mudhoo )
( T-John & Karen Parsons )
Closing in on a win after consecutive placings. Dropping to 52.5kg makes it a worthwhile bet.

1 The Immigrant
Dividend : $1.90
Place
F: 58941B(5)W(59.0)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-Michael & Matthew Pitman )
Two runs in five days for this Pitman runner and it got home in a photo finish in the latter, when stepped up to this distance. Can back that up
Main Danger
3 On The Rivet
F: 084x0B(4)W(57.0)
( J-Floor Moerman )
( T-Kenny Rae )
Second up for this 8yo and might be hard to beat. Although second last when resuming, it was only 5 1/2 lengths off Movie Girl and it get the 4kg claim today
Next Best
2 Take On
Dividend : $1.30
Place
F: 7x572B(2)W(57.5)
( J-Amber Riddell )
( T-Kevin Myers )
Can't overlook the chances of a Myers runner at anytime and after its improved run into second on Wednesday, it could well go one better, with his stable apprentice on board
Consider
4 Electric Dream
F: 48213B(11)W(56.5)
( J-Leah Hemi )
( T-Kenny Rae )
Kenny Rae runner that ran well on Wednesday and, if it goes the extra distance today, will surely be in the mix
Longer Odds
10 Miss Interpret
F: 09797B(7)W(54.0)
( J-Abdul Najib )
( T-Ainsley McLeod )
Definitely needs to show more than it has in its last two starts but the fact it has been backed down from 31's suggests we should include it

Top Pick
The 'Day's Best'
1 Rocabury
F: px321B(4)W(61.0)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-Kevin Myers )
Kevin Myers runner that was beautifully rated in front by Tina on Wednesday and they never looked like getting to it. Drops back to an easier r65 today and naturally goes up in the weights, by 7kg, but it's a strong galloper that has won over hurdles so expect it will cope with that
Main Danger
7 Mighty Castle
F: 64471B(1)W(57.5)
( J-Corey Campbell )
( T-Steven Woodsford )
Ex northerner that looks to have a good future down south. Its win on Wednesday was only its second start for the new stable so good upside and rails draw to boot
Next Best
3 Ruffhouse Rosie
F: 55832B(8)W(57.5)
( J-Terry Moseley )
( T-Peter Didham )
Down from the north and backing up from a good run on Sunday. Terry Moseley sticks and has seen early support
Consider
5 Richie's Dream
Dividend : $4.80
Place
F: 79616B(3)W(57.0)
( J-Lee Callaway )
( T-Kenny Rae )
After only just missing on Sunset Dream on Wednesday, good jockey gets off it to ride this Kenny Rae trained prospect
Longer Odds
6 Sunset Express
F: 36002B(10)W(57.0)
( J-Amber Riddell )
( T-Jackie Burrows )
Only a head behind Mighty Castle last start so does appear to be a bit of overs. Apprentice brings 2kg claim

F: 62671B(3)W(56.0)
( J-Amber Riddell )
( T-Anna Furlong )
A stable that has done well with purchases from the North Island and this one added to that with a win on its southern debut on Sunday. Promising apprentice brings 3kg claim
Main Danger
8 Sheaf
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 35864B(6)W(55.5)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )

Capable 4yo from the Kevin Myers stable and having its first start on the circuit. Tina has five wins on Wednesday so clearly riding well

11 Hereigoagain
Dividend : $2.10
Place
F: 45651B(5)W(54.5)
( J-Ruvanesh Muniandy )
( T-Mike McCann )
Considering it beat two subsequent winners when getting home last Sunday, it would be folly not to rate its chances. Additional 310m not an issue
Consider
5 Ugo
F: 59020B(9)W(58.0)
( J-Samantha Wynne )
( T-Anna Furlong )
Has run well in last two starts over 1400m (wide draw last time) and now up to preferred 1810m. Sam Wynne sticks

1 Sincere
F: 7x071B(7)W(59.0)
( J-Rohan Mudhoo )
( T-Andrew Carston )
Last start winner at big odds. Was scratched on Wednesday and starts here, and that's a good sign

Top Pick
1 Kick On
F: x6371B(12)W(60.0)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-Kevin Myers )
Kevin Myers has two strong chances here but, after its commanding win in the Cup last Sunday, we see no reason why it wouldn't go close here. Tina has been winning on Smooth Operator and gets off it to ride this one
Main Danger
5 Epee Beel
F: 37222B(2)W(58.0)
( J-Abdul Najib )
( T-Michael & Matthew Pitman )
Pitman's rate this one highly and we note with interest that they're stepping it up to 1810m for the first time today
Next Best
6 Island Hop
F: 04413B(8)W(57.0)
( J-Amber Riddell )
( T-Kevin Myers )
On the quick back up after being beaten when favourite on Wednesday. Would need to improve on that but Kevin Myers is an astute and canny trainer, and we note early support in the market
Consider
4 Smooth Operator
Dividend : $3.20
Place
F: 94111B(1)W(58.5)
( J-Rohan Mudhoo )
( T-Stephanie Faulkner )
Its toughest test to date but quite honestly, this 5yo has improved to another level r4ecently, and was just so impressive last time out. Will prefer soft track today too
Longer Odds
7 Elegant Lady
F: 3x0x5B(5)W(56.5)
( J-Terry Moseley )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
So good was its resuming run at Otaki, we have had to include this Te kau runner in our selections somewhere. Terry Moseley will give it every chance

2 Carignan
Dividend : $1.60
Place
F: 32254B(2)W(58.5)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-Kevin Myers )
This Kevin Myers runner has had so much racing over the last few months and we've selected it quite a few times, for it yet to win one. Here it turns out again and this might be the day, because it was never a chance on Sunday after getting back from wide draw
Main Danger
10 Mischief Managed
Dividend : $2.10
Place
F: x7035B(4)W(55.0)
( J-Terry Moseley )
( T-Kenny Rae )
Kenny Rae trained mare that ran its best race in the south when third at Kurow 12 days ago. And then ran well on Wednesday, after getting off the pace early. Good money has come for it today
Next Best
1 Retail Therapy
F: 76063B(11)W(59.0)
( J-Abdul Najib )
( T-Kenny Moore )
Ex northerner. Terrific performance to run a close up third in a Open last Sunday and that gives it a great chance, dropping back to R65 today
Consider
4 Schedar
F: 14703B(5)W(57.5)
( J-Rohan Mudhoo )
( T-Mike McCann )
Has to be considered as is showing itself to be consistently close up at this level. Finishing over them last Sunday

5 Sacred Dior
F: 0x002B(9)W(57.0)
( J-Corey Campbell )
( T-Sarah & Matthew Smith )
Just lost out by the nod of its head two weeks ago in a much improved effort. And now gets an extra 200m
