   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Although beaten favourite last start when odds on, it was only beaten by a super effort by the winner, with the others a few lengths back. Stable is running hot and this can be another one

  F: x4265   B(7)  W(58.5)

  Main Danger

  

  8 Sperlari  

  F:   B(3)  W(55.5)

   ( J- Sam Weatherley )

   ( T- Cody Cole )

  It would be folly not to consider this one a strong contender. Trainer/jockey partnership with good strike rate and comes to debut having impressed when winning a trial in October

  F: 6x0   B(6)  W(57.0)

  Won

  F: 4   B(3)  W(55.5)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  From a stable that is flying and comes into this after 4exceeding expectations to place on debut. With natural improvement, looks the one to beat from its inside draw

  2 Star Smile  

  F: 53757   B(5)  W(57.5)

  1 Poetic Justice  

  F: x7222   B(5)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Rory Hutchings )

   ( T- Tony Pike )

  If any horse deserves a win, it's this Tony Pike runner. Six times runner up from just 10 starts, it was only 1 1/2 lengths away in a conditions race last time, when over 2100m for the first time. Rory rides and can get it over the line

  Main Danger

  

  3 Mohi Place  

  F: 44472   B(1)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Chad Ormsby )

  Canny trainer and it took a promising type to prevent it winning two weeks ago. Big chance from rails draw

  9 Subtle Power  

  F: x2425   B(10)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- Barbara Kennedy )

  Barbara Kennedy is shaping up as a very good trainer and had an impressive winner on Sunday at Ellerslie. This one has been very good this campaign and might have won any of its first three races, so close was it. And great run in Stakes race last start

  Main Danger

  

  2 Just One  

  F: 0x761   B(9)  W(59.5)

   ( J- Rory Hutchings )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Rory Hutchings has had a great strike rate for this stable since returning to NZ and could well go back to back with this one

  6 Boxmoss  

  F: 89537   B(9)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Sam Spratt )

  13 Luvabeel  

  F: 5   B(10)  W(55.5)

   ( J- Wiremu Pinn )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Te Akau runner that was well backed on debut and not far off the winner. With Wiremu Pinn on the reins, it has to be included in calculations

  11 Wounder  

  F: 41   B(5)  W(55.5)

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  Couldn't have been more impressive when winning at Rotorua two weeks ago. Came off the trail to finish over the leader with plenty in hand. Should be even better over 1600m

  Won like a horse with plenty more to come two weeks ago at Tauranga. finished strongly that day so 1600m should be just perfect

  5 Phantom Dragon  

  F: x5252   B(13)  W(58.5)

  2 Bertie Wooster  

  F: 420   B(7)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Sam Spratt )

   ( T- Chris Wood )

  The winning factor here is Sam Spratt. While the horse has run well in all three starts, with Sam up, she is simply riding so well this season we think she gets it home

  Main Danger

  

  1 Sir Bruce  

  F: 8x32   B(5)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Robbie Patterson )

  Astute trainer brings this three start 4yo north after being beaten on its home track at odds on last start. There have been a few scratchings so it certainly now is a strong chance

  F: 8   B(14)  W(57.0)
