This looks the safest bet to us. Beaten just over 1/2 length when fourth here two weeks ago, despite coming out of gate 13. Tina sticks and is proven in the Heavy

Place
F: 228X7B(9)W(58.5)

Two seconds from three starts last campaign is evidence of its ability. Will be better for resuming run here three weeks ago

( J-Teddy Ladouceur )
( T-Bruce Tapper )
Ex northerner that nearly repaid new owners a chunk of their investment when just missing in a photo finish in first run in the south five weeks ago. Has to overcome gate 11

4 Archie Guy
F: 046XB(1)W(58.5)
( J-Billy Jacobson )
( T-Cyrille Leveque )
Just the three runs last campaign and didn't do much. But might have developed over six month break and does have a good South African rider on the reins

F: 37X6XB(2)W(56.5)
( J-Yogesh Atchamah )

Hasn't raced in nearly year, and has been imported from Australia in the interim. They've kept it safe in the market so we can expect a big run

( J-Yogesh Atchamah )

Very good former Northland campaigner that relocated to this strong stable early last month. Didn't take long to show it will be a contender down here when a close second on southern debut and can take the next step to that today
Main Danger
1 King Of The Castle
F: 08587B(5)W(60.0)
( J-Teddy Ladouceur )

Kevin Tyler said that it found the 2000m too far two weeks ago, after looking promising turning for home. This distance more to its liking

What a great mare this 6yo is and one you'd just love to have in your stable. Just a wee bit short of the top class but always has to go in in these races

Place
F: 09041B(7)W(57.0)
( J-Amber Riddell )

Trained on the track and won a R75 here two weeks ago, with this up and coming apprentice riding again. With her 3kg claim is only carrying 1kg extra and looks progressive

Place
F: 65683B(6)W(57.5)

Consider
9 Tommy Perfect
F: 17542B(3)W(55.5)
( J-Yogesh Atchamah )

Can be relied on to give a good account of itself and comes into this on the back of a second here last time out, in the Heavy. Inside gate

Won
F: 05927B(4)W(58.5)
( J-Ayush Mudhoo )
( T-Andrew Carston )
Less than three lengths behind Penvose Lad last start. That's a good form line and suggests the EW odds are generous
The first of a four timer on the day for this trainer/jockey partnership on the course three weeks ago and can add to their strike rate today. It bounced back nicely on that occasion and does look promising
Main Danger
6 Ali Nel
F: 70103B(4)W(57.0)
( J-Toni Davies )
( T-Ebony Turner )
A maiden winner at Wingatui three back, it nearly caught them all out at a surprising 60/1 last time. The TAB won't be so generous today!
Next Best
11 Quartz Queen
F: 4670XB(1)W(54.0)
( J-Floor Moerman )
( T-Kelly Shearing )
Now with a new trainer and first run for three months. Change of environment can often spur new life into these gallopers. Rails draw gives every chance
Consider
5 Ex Aye
F: 30098B(9)W(57.5)
( J-Billy Jacobson )

Worth a second look. This jockey is pretty good and this easier than Riccarton

F: 98807B(3)W(54.5)
( J-Rohan Mudhoo )

Better than its been going recently but if they're still running it, then there must be some thing positive at home

Place
F: 42435B(4)W(60.0)
( J-Billy Jacobson )

Has won once from nine starts but also been very close up in the majority of the others. Trainer having a great run and this South African jockey is a useful addition to the southern training ranks
Main Danger
6 Unleash The Beast
F: 2371B(8)W(59.0)
( J-Tanya Jonker )
( T-Kenny Moore )
Always a bit wary when a galloper drops back from 2200m to 1600m but so impressive was its seven length win last time, we're with its chances
Next Best
10 Saviour
F: X0037B(7)W(57.5)

13 No Bouquet

( J-Terry Moseley )

Trainer also runs the favourite, which Terry Moseley has ridden in last five starts. He won on this one here two weeks ago and sticks with it, so that's worth a shout
