• Top Pick

  

  7 Dujardin  

  F: 4x   B(3)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Good run on debut for this Te Akau runner last December. Immediately spelled with that experience behind it and now resumes off a winning trial to prepare

  Main Danger

  

  5 Rock Hudson  

  F:   B(5)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Tony Pike )

  Tony Pike has two runners on debut in this and they will be sure to be well prepared. Stable jockey rides here so you'd assume he's on the best chance

  4 Rufus  

  Dividend : $2.80

  Place

  F: 6   B(1)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Andrew Forsman )

  This is a wide open field so gives this one an 'improvers' chance, after not being too far away on debut.

  Consider

  

  6 Justice For All  

  Dividend : 

  Place

  F: 3x3   B(7)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Lily Sutherland )

   ( T- Tony Pike )

  Although drawn the outside, Tony Pike's other runner goes in as a chance worth consideration

  Won

  F: 68x5   B(2)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Amber Riddell )

   ( T- Peter & Shaun McKay )

  Will need to lift a bit on what it's done in three runs to date but this stable doesn't bring anything to Trentham that isn't a chance

  1 Jamaica Bay  

  F: 93836   B(6)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Kevin & Stephen Gray, Copper Belt Lodge )

  Much improved stable since Stephen returned from Singapore and this 4yo has been going the odd good race. The drop back to 1000m might do the trick

  Main Danger

  

  14 Fawnzor  

  Dividend : $1.80

  Place

  F:   B(4)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Allan Sharrock )

  On debut from a good stable and at short odds, given it hasn't trialled. The word must be positive

  13 Celtic Bling  

  F: 748x   B(13)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Te Akau runner that will be ideally suited to the 1000m, fresh up

  Consider

  

  4 Sand Point  

  F: 339x   B(10)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Jonathan Riddell )

  4 First Edition  

  F: 82251   B(7)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Jonathan Riddell )

   ( T- Lisa Latta )

  Resumed from break a much improved galloper and progressed to its first win three weeks ago. This clearly tougher but it was a dominant performance

  Main Danger

  

  1 Comedy  

  F: 90x27   B(5)  W(59.5)

   ( J- Lily Sutherland )

   ( T- Harvey Wilson )

  A very strong contender for this. Dropped back to 1600m here second up and went terrific and now fitter and up to preferred distance again

  Next Best

  

  3 Tranzed  

  F: 08044   B(2)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Elle Sole )

   ( T- John Wheeler )

  Won

  F: 00x01   B(1)  W(58.5)

  9 Croupier  

  Dividend : $1.60, $1.00

  Won

  F: 5   B(5)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Andrew Campbell )

  Hesitant to select a $2.15 shot in a Trentham maiden of this size but it really does look like the winner, with improvement from its debut run and up 200m. With good returning trainer

  Main Danger

  

  8 Kids Got Gears  

  Dividend : $1.40

  Place

  F: 540   B(6)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Lisa Latta )

  After two close up finishes to start its career, connections were bold enough to start it in the G2 Wellington Guineas. And it didn't disappoint. Well drawn and will find this maiden easier

  13 Lets All Boogie  

  F: 62233   B(10)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Kavish Chowdhoory )

   ( T- Bryce Newman )

  considering it has been second on five occasions, a win would be popular and its recent form says it is up to doing so. But the wide draw makes things tough

  Consider

  

  14 Afternoon Siesta  

  Dividend : $1.80

  Place

  F:   B(2)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Shaun Fannin & Hazel Fannin )

  On debut and not surprising that there's a bit of money around for it, given it was an easy winner of its trial. Craig Grylls adds the value

  Longer Odds

  

  6 Ascari  

  F: 58   B(7)  W(58.5)

  Dividend : $1.90

  Place

  F: 46x32   B(7)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Lily Sutherland )

   ( T- Rosie Fell )

  Did very well to get within 3/4 length of the winner at Whanganui last time, after getting back. More ground will see the best of it and Lily sticks

  Main Danger

  

  1 Omega Boy  

  F: 25274   B(11)  W(60.0)

   ( J- Jim Chung )

   ( T- Peter Didham )

  Of the experienced runners here, clearly has the best form-line. Trainer generally does well at this meeting

  5 Strange Love  

  F: 20024   B(4)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Chris Dell )

   ( T- Peter & Shaun McKay )

  3 Complex  

  F: 22x67   B(13)  W(59.5)

  Dividend : $1.40

  Place

  F: x1421   B(1)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Allan Sharrock )

  Here's a 4yo that can rise through the grades. Has been impressive in its last two runs, both here, and although it drops back to 1400m today, it is favoured with the rails draw

  Main Danger

  

  3 Ballon D'or

  Won

  F: 15152   B(3)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Peter & Shaun McKay )

  It really does look to be a strong chance in this. Beaten just one length (from gate 17!) in the G2 Wellington Guineas here two back and unlucky not to have won a Stakes race last time after getting off the pace early

  Dividend : $2.90

  Place

  F: 222x0   B(5)  W(59.5)

   ( J- Jim Chung )

   ( T- Clinton Isdale )

  Looked a chance when going well turning for home last week at Ellerslie, but faded. But was fresh up then an in a Open, so this easier

  Consider

  

  1 Duneagle  

  F: 67721   B(4)  W(60.5)

   ( J- Liam Kauri )

   ( T- Suzy Gordon )

  6 Lantern Way  

  F: 800x5   B(9)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Jonathan Riddell )

   ( T- Lisa Latta )

  Good enough to win the Whanganui Guineas as a 3yo and looked in good shape when resuming two weeks ago. Takes improvement

  Won

  F: 1x903   B(11)  W(54.5)

   ( J- Lily Sutherland )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  After a brief campaign in Melbourne in February, Te Akau looked to have it settled back in nicely and going well if its run the St Leger is an indication, when beaten only a neck. Distance is perfect and and Lily a good booking

  Main Danger

  

  5 The Odyssey  

  F: 43x91   B(9)  W(53.5)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Ben & Ryan Foote )

  This 5yo is developing into a very good handicapper and we think we'll be seeing more of it in the winners circle

  F: 31345   B(3)  W(59.0)

  9 Final Return  

  F: 42362   B(7)  W(53.0)

   ( J- Chris Dell )

   ( T- Janelle Millar )

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Darryn & Briar Weatherley )

  Ten months since last run, a winning one in June. Things didn't go to plan from then and now resuming, and looking forward, when winning a trial to prepare. Certainly has the class to be winning

  1 Marotiri Molly  

  F: 1315x   B(2)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Kate Hercock )

   ( T- Matthew Dixon )

  3 Procul Boy  

  F: 1   B(5)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Liam Kauri )

   ( T- Gail Temperton )

  This one could prove to be very smart. Ran second to Dazz in a trial (that one won on debut this week) and the money came for it in its only run. Found a great turn of pace and won going away

  F: 22153   B(11)  W(57.0)

  1 When Stars Align  

  F: 78x24   B(4)  W(59.5)
