  Race 1 - Cambridge Stud Almanzor Trophy (G3)

  Time: 4:39 PM | Distance: 1200 m | Prize $ 250000
• Top Pick

  

  1 Move To Strike  

  F: 51x5x   B(5)  W(60.0)

   ( J- Blake Shinn )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Won a G1 as a 2yo and was touted as a future champion. But was subsequently beaten at red hots odds and is yet to fulfil expectations. Resumes are being given time and can start to redeem that reputation

  Main Danger

  

  2 Poetic Champion  

  F: x14x1   B(1)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Tony Pike )

  Although it held on to beat Sweynesday here three weeks ago, that one was finishing fast. But has been running against some good ones and looks sure to be there at the business end. Rails draw

  7 Hankee Alpha  

  F: 11   B(11)  W(56.0)

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  Terrific in both runs to date and is being highly talked about. Pity it has drawn so wide today

  Consider

  

  6 Kitty Flash  

  F: 11272   B(13)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Craig Williams )

   ( T- Andrew Forsman )

  Another one unfortunate to have drawn wide as certainly good enough to test them. But gate 14 is a challenge

  Longer Odds

  

  11 She's Untouchable  

  F: 13   B(3)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Sam Weatherley )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Has looked smart in two races and there's value in the EW odds

  Won

  F: 860x4   B(3)  W(55.5)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Roger James & Robert Wellwood )

  Never picked up in a small field when resuming but will have benefitted greatly with the run. Should be too classy for these

  Main Danger

  

  11 Bourbon Empress  

  F: 27121   B(12)  W(55.5)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Part of the Stephen Marsh success story over the last couple of months and has been a big improver, winning two of last three and now four from 10 career starts. Progressive and despite the wide draw, we make it the biggest danger

  Next Best

  

  13 Frostfair  

  F: 43111   B(14)  W(55.5)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- Lance Noble )

  Exciting prospect that has improved massively recently, albeit in R75's. This its biggest test but there's not much depth in the field

  Consider

  

  12 Mary Shan  

  Dividend : $2.20

  Place

  F: x9727   B(1)  W(55.5)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Andrew Forsman )

  This quality filly is nicely drawn but was beaten 3 1/2 lengths by Bourbon Express on New Years Day in a G2 and w don't think it can turn that around, even with the rails draw

  Longer Odds

  

  7 Ravello  

  F: 12783   B(4)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Rory Hutchings )

   ( T- John O'Shea & Tom Charlton )

  Over from Australia and a place looks a distinct possibility, especially with Blake Shinn on board

  Won

  F: 73631   B(3)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Rory Hutchings )

   ( T- Chris Waller )

  Chris Waller, the maestro in the racing scene in Australia, will be keen to tick off a win here with his last start winner of a G3. rory is riding with supreme confidence right now too

  Main Danger

  

  2 Skew Wiff  

  F: 342x4   B(2)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Blake Shinn )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Te Akau will have this 5yo trained to the minute and will be much improved for its great run in the Telegraph. Much more suited to this 1400m today . Top Aussie jockey takes the reins

  Next Best

  

  5 Acquarello  

  F: 13121   B(4)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Tony Pike )

  A winner of three from its last five, Tony Pike has this one in fine fettle. Could be one to test them, with its inside draw, even at G2 level

  Consider

  

  1 Belclare  

  F: 7110x   B(9)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Sam Spratt )

   ( T- Lisa Latta )

  Lovely mare, a 7yo winner of over $2.3m and likely to start favourite. Has returned to NZ after campaigning in Australia and won't lack for ability, just the wide draw makes it tough

  Longer Odds

  

  10 Jaarffi  

  F: 61502   B(11)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- Lance Noble )

  Top trainer/jockey partnership and look to have this one running better than ever. Wide draw but we're putting in as think it has upside

  The 'Day's Best'

  

  3 To Bravery Born  

  F: 1x1   B(2)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Blake Shinn )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Te Akau tested this one as an early 2yo and it impressed with its win at Whanganui in August. Subsequently spelled, it looked every part a good horse when winning well when resuming here two weeks ago and with Blake Shinn taking the reins, we make it our bet of the day

  Main Danger

  

  10 La Dorada

  Won

  F: 12   B(5)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Craig Williams )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Was favourite to win the Eclipse Stakes on New Years Day after looking smart on debut. But got back early and it couldn't pull back Too Sweet when it had first run. Well drawn to reverse that today

  Next Best

  

  2 Toretto  

  F: 2x214   B(1)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Ryan Elliot )

   ( T- Hollie Wynyard )

  Wasn't too far off the winner in the G2 here three weeks ago. But best judged on run prior when looking a good prospect and rails draw to advantage today

  Consider

  

  9 Too Sweet  

  F: 121   B(15)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Roydon Bergerson )

  So unfortunate to draw gate 15 in this after having looked impressive in its three runs to date

  5 Hello Romeo  

  F: 214   B(7)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Ben, Will & Jd Hayes )

  Over from Melbourne and hard to know how good that form is. Could surprise them

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( T- Roger James & Robert Wellwood )

  Stepped up from 1150m to 1400m just six days ago and, under a super ride by George Rook, never gave anything a chance. On the quick back up and might keep winning record in tact

   ( J- Blake Shinn )

  Big reputation and was expected win the Auckland Guineas last start. Got back then and going to excuse that but concern is that it has drawn wide here and might get back again today

  6 Bourbon Proof  

  F: x4221   B(8)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

  This is its toughest test to date but as is typical of Stephen Marsh, he has patiently given this one time and it is of a better standard than a last start maiden winner

  Quality filly out of the Te Akau stable and with its recent trial win, we know its ready to test them. Craig Williams is on the reins and he adds a lot of value

  1 Waitak  

  F: 53329   B(12)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Kevin Stott )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  Drawn wide and a bit of an 'in or out' type. But we've seen its turn of foot when its on and it might bring that today. If so, the wide draw won't hold it back
