This good stable have had three weeks between races, since its promising debut, and will be sure to have put the work into it. Warren Kennedy sticks and we like its chances

Place
F: 2B(10)W(55.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Roger James & Robert Wellwood )
Nearly two months since this one made its debut at Te Aroha and was a length away at the line. Was well supported that day and better for the experience. Wide draw a concern
Next Best
7 Pink Gin
F: 2x2B(11)W(55.0)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Tony Pike )
Trainer thinks this one has good prospects and has been given time to develop. Was a tad disappointing when resuming and has a wide draw to overcome but should be in the money
Consider
3 Perfect Habit
F: 4B(8)W(57.0)
( J-Bridget Grylls )

Straight into a Stakes race on debut, having won two trials prior. Obviously well considered so watch the tote

Good enough to run El Dorado to just over two lengths last campaign and that's looking a pretty good yardstick now.

F: 33212B(2)W(56.0)

Hard to go against the McKay stable right now as all its runners are featuring. Joe Doyle takes the reins today and that should give it the winning edge

Consider
5 Khan Hunter

Drops back from G2 for this and up to middle distance should suit it now. Wiremu a good booking

4 Bourbon Proof
F: 14220B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Found the run in the Derby too tough last time but prior form was good. Inside draw and good rider gives it every chance. Drops back from 2400m trip

3 Overdrawn
F: 66024B(7)W(59.0)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Tony Pike )
Matt Cartwright switches to the Tony Pike stable here and that could be an indication of this one's chances. Only a head behind Penman two back and that's a good formline
Main Danger
4 Latrelle
F: x3216B(6)W(58.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Cody Cole )
Big ask when stepped up to G3 at Trentham last time but it answered the call with an excellent effort. Back to R75 and winning rider re-united, has to be a strong contender
Next Best
1 Sako
F: 12232B(4)W(59.5)
( J-Wiremu Pinn )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Stephen Marsh has a very genuine 4yo gelding here, being a winner of three but also second 6 times! Wiremu Pinn retains the ride and could lead them all the way if getting a soft lead, now over 1500m for the first time

F: 1x181B(6)W(54.0)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Got the nod in at the right time to win an Open last start, making it five wins from only 12 starts. Stable jockey Masa returns to the saddle today and that adds to its chances
Main Danger
4 Merchant Queen
F: x5130B(3)W(54.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Stephen Marsh's stable is in top form and his chances can't be denied with this one. Was up against it in a quality G3 field last time and was only just over four lengths off the winner

8 Pericles
F: 7217xB(9)W(54.0)

F: 24122B(6)W(60.0)
( J-George Rooke )

Stable going well and George Rooke is a good booking, riding well at the moment and continuing to become accustomed to the NZ tracks. Only wide draw beat it last start

6 Inside Out
F: 1B(4)W(58.5)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Darryn & Briar Weatherley )
Had performed well at the trials prior to debut and so there was support for it first up. And it won with a bit of style and might prove to have a lot of ability
Consider
15 Fosse
F: 31xB(9)W(56.5)

( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Cody Cole )
First run for three months at Pukekohe two weeks ago hut that will have brought good improvement. Michael McNab has a good record with this stable
