  Time: 12:26 PM | Distance: 1400 m | Prize $ 40000
• Top Pick

  

  3 Amyer Star  

  Dividend : $1.60

  Place

  F: 1   B(2)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Kevin Stott )

   ( T- Shaun Phelan )

  Considering St Giles is considered to be a good prospect, the fact this one put it away by nearly three lengths on debut, and out of gate 11, suggests it will be going back to back today

  Main Danger

  

  1 Oppenheimer  

  F: 32218   B(7)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Vinnie Colgan )

   ( T- Joanne Surgenor )

  Our Top pick last week, it finished eighth but in fact only three lengths from the winner. Quck back up augers well for its chances

  7 Cypher  

  Dividend : $1.70

  Place

  F: 21   B(3)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  from a stable that is flying in recent months, this one progressed nicely to win at only its second time of asking. More wins to come, that's for sure

  10 Moschino  

  Dividend : $5.20, $1.90

  Won

  F: 42021   B(5)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Margaret Falconer )

  Second to Penman two back (and that has gone on to win again), it duly progressed to a clear cut win last time under a nice ride by Mixchael McNab. He is up again and rates as likely to be in the finish

  Longer Odds

  

  8 Dramatic Miss  

  F: 22x1   B(9)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Sam Spratt )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Taken south to Waverley when resuming and came away with a confidence boosting win. Experience will have done it good and Sam Spratt has chosen to ride

  6 Colonel Warden  

  F: 3x612   B(7)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Well considered 3yo out of the Te Akau stable, so trained on the track. Two good runs this campaign and now Michael McNab takes the reins

  Main Danger

  

  9 Foxglove  

  F: 64x35   B(9)  W(58.0)

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  From top stable and now third up, should be spot on. 2 1/2 lengths behind Colonel Warden last time and drawn wide but still expect it to go close

  11 Beast Of Burden  

  Dividend : $10.60, $2.80

  Won

  F: 31375   B(1)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Tayla Mitchell )

   ( T- Chad Ormsby )

  From a stable that knows how to bring the improvement and this one showed those signs last time. Rails draw today

  Consider

  

  1 Kereti  

  F: 24x12   B(3)  W(59.5)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- Mike Breslin )

  Has to be in the mix after its good run for second in a stakes race last time. Just the four runs to date so showing a lot of promise. Awapuni brings north and has secured the services of warren Kennedy

  7 Huzzah  

  F: 01454   B(8)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Vinnie Colgan )

  Won

  F: 1x1   B(2)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Unbeaten in both runs to date and has yet to be tested, winning at @1.20 last time. Home track and Michael McNab now on the reins. Wins

  Main Danger

  Dividend : 

  Place

  F: 1x14   B(3)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Te Akau have three of the five runners and this one has looked talented in its previous runs, and for us it runs the quinella

  Dividend : $2.40

  Place

  F: 1   B(5)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  The other Te Akau runner and was taken to Whanganui for debut just over three weeks ago. Did it comfortably and one we're likely to see more of i9n the winners circle over the next month or two

  Consider

  

  3 Daylight Robbery  

  F: 2127   B(4)  W(57.0)

  Dividend : $2.20

  Place

  F: 04463   B(4)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Jasmine Fawcett )

   ( T- Peter & Shaun McKay )

  This stable's runners really are going better right now and this one put in a good performance behind Derby favourite Willydoit two weeks ago. Considering King Of The north was back in fourth, the EW odds are enticing

  Main Danger

  

  5 Embezzler  

  F: 21042   B(5)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Sam Spratt )

   ( T- Ross McCarroll )

  Has finished close up in all recent runs and can be expected to be in the finish. Sam Spratt is a great booking

  11 Tavi Ann  

  F: 3x372   B(8)  W(55.5)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( J- Triston Moodley )

  Still to recapture the form that made it such an exciting galloper in its first two seasons but has run a few places recently. Won't take much improvement to see it figure

  6 Hard Roca  

  F: 31453   B(9)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Ryan Elliot )

   ( T- Andrew Forsman )

  Two Stakes races and a G3 for this one in its last three starts so has to be the one now back to R65, despite the wide draw

  Main Danger

  

  9 First Dance  

  F: 21542   B(6)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- Lance Noble )

  Was 3/4 length ahead of Hard Roca at Pukekohe and just 1/2 kg worse off here so there probably won't be much between them today. Both very astute trainers too

  4 Phelan The Power  

  F: 7x551   B(2)  W(59.5)

   ( J- Tayla Mitchell )

   ( T- Tarissa MacDonald )

  After its last win the trainer said there had been some challenges in training but was pleased that everything had finally come together. That suggests there's upside

  Dividend : $4.00

  Place

  F: 20200   B(3)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Jasmine Fawcett )

   ( T- Peter & Shaun McKay )

  This in form stable sends this one out fresh up and could have a bit to offer, especially for a place, as there is not much depth in the field

  2 Butterfield  

  F: 87004   B(10)  W(59.5)

   ( J- Sam Spratt )

   ( T- Patrick McCarten )

  Only just over a length off the winner at te Rapa last weekend and now on the quick back up. Trainer has turned to Sam Spratt now and that adds a lot to its chances

  Won

  F: 2126x   B(9)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Ryan Elliot )

   ( T- Ken & Bev Kelso )

  First run since Flemington last March but has won fresh up in three of four occasions, and sure to be trained to the minute. Just looks too good for them, in our opinion

  Main Danger

  

  3 Provence  

  F: 70141   B(12)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Sam Spratt )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Here's a mare that has really come of age and, although we'd like to see it drawn a bit closer to the rail, the counter positive is Sam Spratt in the saddle

  F: 1x687   B(8)  W(56.0)

  F: 35314   B(3)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Winner of two from three, including the Listed Karaka Million last start. That is form that is hard to deny it stands the test here and we'll be surprised if it gets beaten

  F: 1   B(5)  W(56.5)

  Filly that showed terrific fight when winning on debut in the Wellesley stakes at Trentham. Will certainly take a lot from the run and could make things interesting

  2 Intention  

  F: 413   B(3)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Lily Sutherland )

   ( T- Mike Breslin )

  A much improved strike record for this trainer over the last year and in this filly, he has a galloper that has quick late sectionals. Lily is riding at her best

  4 Marokopa Falls  

  F: 13   B(2)  W(56.5)

  F: 16412   B(11)  W(53.0)

   ( J- Kelly Myers )

   ( T- Ralph Manning )

  Running at the top of its form at the moment and, after bolting in prior, came late in a Listed race last week but the winner had already flown. Can bounce back here, with Kelly Myers taking over

  Main Danger

  

  5 Loch In Ora  

  F: x7113   B(1)  W(53.0)

   ( J- Lily Sutherland )

  A winner of five from nine, and from a stable on a terrific run, it now gets its chance up to 2000m. Not beaten far last start and Lily sure to give it every chance from rails draw

  F: 9x511   B(7)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Kevin Stott )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  How impressive has this one been in its last two starts, and particularly last time at Te Rapa when it cleared out. Looks likely to rise through the grades and in the right stable to do so

  4 Bridal Train  

  F: x4414   B(1)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Triston Moodley )
