Main Danger
1 Unusual Choice
F: 3523XB(5)W(58.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Fraser Auret )
Showed good consistency last prep and it's another runner that won't take long to break through for a maiden win. Well-backed to score.
Next Best
2 Richard Farrell
F: 85X04B(4)W(58.5)
( J-Toni Davies )
( T-Suzy Gordon )
Much better when fourth last start after showing little fresh up. Heading in the right direction and it should go close.
Consider
3 Possess
Dividend : $1.90
Place
F: 94545B(7)W(58.5)
( J-Sarah O'Malley )
( T-Kevin Myers )
The stable comes off a big Cup Week, and the winning run could continue. Just needs to improve slightly to figure in the finish.
Longer Odds
9 Chelsea Rose
F: 942X0B(6)W(56.5)
( J-Kate Hercock )
( T-Lisa Latta )
Better than what it showed last start, so we're giving it another chance. Could boost payouts nicely.

Won
F:B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Guy Lowry & Leah Zydenbos )
It has looked solid at the trials and this is a wide-open maiden race. Drawing well helps, and that could be enough to see it win.
Main Danger
13 Kiboko
F:B(4)W(55.0)
( J-Kate Hercock )
( T-Matthew Eales )
A trial winner that is bred to win a race soon. Another runner with a good draw, and its odds could shorten significantly close to start time.
Next Best
14 Zansu
F:B(4)W(55.0)
( J-Erin Leighton )
( T-Stuart Manning )
Another runner that is bred to win, and it could hit the ground running. Conditions shouldn't worry it, so include here.
Consider
1 Damiano
Dividend : $1.70
Place
F: 4729XB(6)W(58.5)
( J-Amber Riddell )
( T-Lisa Latta )
Having race day experience can't go under the radar, and getting weight off its back is another positive. Should be right in the mix.
Longer Odds
5 So We Go
F: 0B(3)W(57.0)
( J-Bruno Queiroz )
( T-Kevin & Stephen Gray )
Chance of redemption after a poor debut. Could bounce back in fine style.

7 Orleans Belle
F: X9564B(8)W(57.0)
( J-Kate Hercock )

Slowly improving this prep and it was better when fourth last time out. A strong ride could get it home, and the odds are attractive.
Main Danger
4 Mermaid
Dividend : $1.70
Place
F: 500X4B(4)W(58.0)
( J-Jonathan Riddell )
( T-Simon Wilson )
A good resuming run for fourth after showing little at the end of last prep. That's an encouraging sign, and it was been backed accordingly.
Next Best
5 Rich Attitude
F: 27100B(2)W(58.0)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Ange Greig )
It has struggled since breaking through for a win three back. Should find this level of racing more to its liking, so include for value.
Consider
2 Qacentina
F: 65437B(9)W(60.0)
( J-Amber Riddell )
( T-Lisa Latta )
Mixing its form but its placing two back is a good form guide. 2kg comes off its back to help with the weight.
Longer Odds
Best "Roughie"
8 Paddy Gift
F: 7X70XB(5)W(55.5)
( J-Madan Singh )
( T-Gary Vile )

F: 4X4B(2)W(57.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )

Solid runs either side of a spell, and it gets the perfect run from the draw. Odds are shortening, and that trend will likely continue.
Main Danger
2 Loose Jewels
Dividend : $2.70
Place
F: 73B(7)W(57.5)
( J-Bruno Queiroz )
( T-Kevin & Stephen Gray )
A better effort when third last time out, and it's heading in the right direction. It could be a big shortener close to start time.
Next Best
12 Double Shot
F:B(12)W(55.5)
( J-Amber Riddell )
( T-Guy Lowry & Leah Zydenbos )
A trial winner at Taupo, which is typically good form. Just needs a touch of luck from a wide draw to go close on debut.
Consider
13 All In Darwin
F:B(10)W(55.5)
( J-Leah Hemi )
( T-Jade Zuppicich )
There has been some money come for it on debut, which is a good sign. Likely to push forward and be right around the mark throughout.
Longer Odds
14 Oriflamme
F:B(5)W(55.5)
( J-Chris Dell )
( T-Bill Thurlow and Sam O’Malley )
Another debut runner that could run well. Only fair in a trial, but it wasn't asked for much.

14 Sierra Leone
Dividend : $1.00
Place
F: 2X532B(8)W(55.0)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Johno Benner )
It won't get a better chance to score a maiden win. It has been going close after another placing last start, and with 55kg on its back, it should win.
Main Danger
4 Reservoir
F: 9XB(7)W(58.5)
( J-Bruno Queiroz )
( T-Roydon Bergerson )
Only fair on debut but it has been spelled and it could come back much stronger. Respect the strong betting move.

Won
F:B(3)W(56.5)
( J-Madan Singh )

Consider
1 Port Chalmer
Dividend : $2.00
Place
F: 50X38B(9)W(58.5)
( J-Amber Riddell )
( T-Lisa Latta )
Fitter after two runs this campaign, including a fresh up third. Gets weight off its back, and it can't be ruled out of contention.
Longer Odds
3 Darren Michie
F: 00XB(2)W(58.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Jim Wallace )
Disappointing during its first prep, but there could be signs of life. Worth including at the odds.

Dividend : $2.50, $1.60
Won
F: 64X24B(11)W(56.5)
( J-Bruno Queiroz )
( T-Roydon Bergerson )
Nothing wrong with its form this preparation, including a second placing fresh up. It just needs a touch of luck from a wide draw to go close.
Next Best
3 Heza Monty
F: 6XB(1)W(58.5)
( J-Chris Dell )
( T-Ashley Meadows )
It ran well enough when sixth on debut, and there is improvement to come. Getting the inside draw could be enough to take it close.
Consider
5 Mount Cook
F:B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Kate Hercock )
( T-Sue Thompson-Brown & Mick Brown )
Prepared with four trials, and it could start its career off on the right note. Drawn to get a lovely run, and the odds are appealing.

F: 6XB(6)W(56.5)
( J-Leah Hemi )
( T-Lisa Latta )
Spelled following a solid enough debut and it's in good hands for this race. Shouldn't be far away.

F: 643X2B(5)W(59.5)
( J-Bruno Queiroz )
( T-Guy Lowry & Leah Zydenbos )

Dividend : $3.50
Place
F: 460X8B(6)W(58.0)
( J-Madan Singh )
