F: X2444B(5)W(58.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )

After looking useful in its early days, it hasn't fulfilled thos expectations. So taking on chance but will be better for resuming run 2 weeks ago

F: 0X43B(2)W(58.5)
( J-Sam Weatherley )
( T-Tony Pike )
Tony Pike brings south again after it ran third here two weeks ago on a Good4 and now confronted with a Heavy8. Although Sam Weatherley is reunited and adds to its chances, the jury is out on it handling these track conditions
Consider

( J-Kelly Myers )

Will find this easier that recent runs at Avondale, when not far off the winner

F: 80XB(4)W(57.5)
( J-Samantha Collett )

After a 6 month spell, this twice raced 4yo resumes on the back of a winning trial. Will be more mature and find this easier that the fields it has met up north
Main Danger

Dividend : $2.50
Place
F: 49B(8)W(56.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Brent Gillovic )
Not a bad run on debut at Taupo last month when running at big odds. Didn't progress on that last time when on a Good track but back to the wet track conditions today, could show at at good EW odds. Joe Doyle is re-united
Next Best

Dividend : $1.40
Place
F:B(5)W(56.0)
( J-Kelly Myers )

No trials so you'd have to say this one has a bit of a reputation at home, given the TAB has opened it up as favourite
Consider
8 Irish Flute
F:B(2)W(56.0)
( J-Sam Weatherley )
( T-Tony Pike )
The Tony Pike stable has been in good form recently and brings this one south for its debut, after 3 trials to prepare. Inside gate a plus

8 Della Ricci
F:B(1)W(56.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Roger James & Robert Wellwood )
Did it nicely when winning its latest trial at Taupo at the end of October, and looked smart and to have a bit in hand. Tight in the market for debut and that's a good sign
Main Danger
10 Ultimate Habit
F:B(7)W(56.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Robbie Patterson )
Trainer/jockey partnership has a superb strike rate. Interesting to note Craig Grylls has ridden Gossip in all races and all trials to date but has opted to ride this one today

Place
F: X22X4B(4)W(57.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Danica Guy )
Scratched last week and now goes to race day, having last run two months ago. With 3 seconds from just 4 starts, clearly good enough to be in the finish here
Consider
3 Sattriya
Dividend : $2.40
Place
F:B(9)W(57.5)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Allan Sharrock )
On debut after trialling well on Heavy tracks so just needs to overcome wide draw to be a chance

5 Rekindle
F: 5508XB(5)W(57.5)
( J-Sam Weatherley )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Resuming and was close up in 3 of its 4 runs in its first campaign. With this stable in such good form, rates as our odds player

Dividend : $2.50
Place
F:B(7)W(55.5)
( J-George Rooke )

Main Danger
8 Banquella
F:B(8)W(55.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Robbie Patterson )
Locally trained and on debut after winning its last trial nicely. With Craig Grylls up, it's hard to think it won't be in the mix

On debut and from a stable that has a good strike rate with fresh up runners. Rails draw to its advantage

4 The Mailman
F: 0XB(9)W(57.5)
( J-Sam Weatherley )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Had a run for experience back in April and subsequently spelled to give it time to mature. That looks to have paid dividends as has gone well in two recent trials

F: 0X22B(1)W(56.5)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Peter Lock )
Just missed here two weeks ago in what was a much better run and had 'improver' written over it. Rails draw and Sam Collett up today puts it in with a good chance
Main Danger
10 Ivy Time
F:B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Allan Sharrock )
Local trainer has two in the race and this one rates best on the back of having trialled and a senior jockey in the saddle

3 Meloni
F: 612X6B(5)W(59.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Robbie Patterson )
Just the 4 runs and does look to be a galloper with potential to rise through the grades. Its win was in the Heavy and that positions it well for today's track conditions
Main Danger
1 Stewart
F: 37425B(6)W(60.0)
( J-Elen Nicholas )

Locally trained and comes into this on the back of a good run in a competitive field at Pukekohe last time

Won
F: 33X04B(11)W(56.5)
( J-Leah Hemi )
( T-Tawhiti Hina )
Beaten less than a length here two weeks ago and it must have trained on well because it has been backed down from an opening $23. Whanganui jockey is on top of her game too
Consider
7 Ballroom Blitz
F: 7497XB(9)W(57.5)
( J-Chris Dell )
( T-Robbie Patterson )
Trainer has 4 in the race, including our Top Pick. While the others are more fancied, this one has won both its races on Heavy tracks
Longer Odds
9 Empressive
F: 1XB(1)W(57.0)
( J-Sam Weatherley )
( T-Benjamin King )
We'll get more of a line on this one after today but can't deny it a chance given it won its only race, back in June, and it was a Heavy track that day

F: 7X320B(3)W(56.5)
