Next Best
8 Little Thief
F: 8x497B(7)W(55.0)
( J-Ace Lawson-Carroll )
( T-Chad Ormsby )
Its last run is looking pretty good given the winner is a Derby prospect and the third subsequently went on to win by five length
Consider

( T-Shaun & Emma Clotworthy )
Best judged on third when resuming as clearly not all was well last time when it finished well down the track

Place
F: 3x61B(1)W(57.5)
( J-Wiremu Pinn )

Main Danger
13 Trust Alone
F: 3x768B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
Craig Grylls sticks after what we thought was a pretty decent run behind Lanikai last start. Lanikai was just beaten in a strong field at Trentham yesterday. Extra 300m here will suit
Next Best
14 Alaskan

Won
F: 73B(6)W(55.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Shaune Ritchie & Colm Murray )
Left its debut run at 66/1 behind to finish just a length of the winner at Tauranga two weeks ago, when up to 2100m. Heading in the right direction
Consider
7 Gippsy God
F: 607B(12)W(57.0)
( J-Nichola Yuen )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Drawn wide but this stable's runners simply can't be denied at the moment

Won
F: 2B(6)W(55.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Very promising run on debut to get within 1/2 length of Mid Ocean, and that one is well thought of. Will be much improved, coming out of this stable which is running hot right now
Main Danger
11 Flanagan
F: 37B(7)W(56.5)
( J-Rory Hutchings )
( T-Samantha Logan )
Apart from the Top Pick, we don't think this is a particularly strong field and with talented Rory Hutchings taking the reins, rates well
Next Best

F: 49563B(2)W(56.5)
( J-Ace Lawson-Carroll )
( T-Shaun & Emma Clotworthy )
Has the ability to be winning, having been four times runner up from its 13 starts, and won't be far away

Longer Odds
4 Happy Field
F: 7B(12)W(58.5)
( J-Ngakau Hailey )
( T-Debbie Sweeney )
Money was down for this one on debut but it got back and was never a winning chance. Will benefit a lot for the run

F: 1B(3)W(57.0)

2 Charlbury
F: 21618B(9)W(58.5)
( J-Ace Lawson-Carroll )
( T-Catherine Cameron )
Exceeded expectations with a good performance in a strong Stakes race last start. Repeat of that probably wins this

F: 54246B(12)W(59.0)
( J-Rory Hutchings )
( T-Tony Pike )
Rory Hutchings has impressed since returning to NZ and Tony Pike has snapped up to bring the necessary improvement to get this one over the line. Has been running well and won't take much
Consider
3 Aladdin Sane
F: 22176B(7)W(57.5)
( J-George Rooke )

( J-Sam Spratt )
( T-Conor And Sarah Fahy )
Sam Spratt rode to a R65 victory last start and sticks, a good sign

Place
F: 65921B(4)W(59.5)
( J-Joe Doyle )

Super honest and won comfortably over distance two weeks ago. With the likelihood of scratchings, comes into play and if you can get on at the current 8's, then its a value bet
Main Danger
2 Brynderwyn
F: 275x2B(3)W(59.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Stable is having a remarkable run and this one ran on strongly when resuming over 1150m. Sure to like the 1400m here
