• Top Pick

  The 'Day's Best'

  

  4 Golden Wings  

  F: 2X21   B(12)  W(59.0)

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( T- Hanna Orting and Sophia Nolan )

  This 4yo is certainly heading in the right direction. A 4yo and just the 3 runs, it was super impressive when coming home 4 lengths clear last time

  Main Danger

  

  16 Mister Meaner  

  F: 13025   B(14)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Sam Mynott )

  Also drawn a wide gate but considering it gets back and finishes off its races, that may not be such a concern. Extra 200m today

  Next Best

  

  15 Berenhard  

  F: X28D2   B(7)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Kelly Myers )

   ( T- Denise Jeffcoat )

  Has been close up in all recent runs and its second to Mad Max last time is good form for this

  Consider

  Place

  F: 7X923   B(13)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Corentin Berge )

   ( T- Margaret Falconer )

  Like our other selections, it has drawn very wide but looks capable of overcoming that and being in the finish. Last two placings have been from wide draws also

  Longer Odds

  

  9 Goldiluxe  

  F: 24X31   B(3)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- David Greene )

  This 6yo mare has consistently been close up and looks improved this time up, winning in a photo finish with Warren Kennedy up last start. He sticks

  10 High Country  

  F: 08X42   B(11)  W(56.5)

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( T- Tony Pike )

  We've expected this Tony Pike runner to win on a number of occasions. But it does look in good shape this campaign and the step up to 2100m should improve its chances

  Main Danger

  

  9 Sacred Combatant  

  F: 1X019   B(8)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Joe Doyle )

   ( T- Bruce Wallace & Grant Cooksley )

  Has been finishing its races off strongly, getting up close to home to win by a head, two back. Those runs have been over 1600m and this 2100m should be just ideal

  Next Best

  

  3 Atmospheric  

  Dividend : $1.80

  Place

  F: 4X436   B(13)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Cody Cole )

  When Craig Grylls rides for this trainer, you know it's going well and a contender. The early money suggests others think so here but it has a wide draw to overcome

  Consider

  

  5 Maldini  

  Dividend : $2.70

  Place

  F: 80434   B(10)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Samantha Collett )

   ( T- Tony Pike )

  Tony Pike has a strong hand in the race with this one also a good chance. Sam Collett sticks and it drops back 300m

  Longer Odds

  

  8 Liquid Fire  

  F: 0X484   B(5)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Kelly Myers )

   ( T- Ralph Manning )

  Stable in form and its recent runs have been better than the finishing positions would suggest. Will be finishing over them again

  8 Toruk Makto  

  F: 40X71   B(4)  W(59.0)

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( T- Bruce Wallace & Grant Cooksley )

  This 4yo looks to have matured nicely as both runs this campaign have been good. Did well to run Swiss Prince to less than 2 1/2 lengths when resuming and then the extra 200m proved to be the winning of its last race. Can go on with it

  Main Danger

  

  1 Hakkinen  

  F: 48X35   B(2)  W(61.5)

   ( J- Hayley Hassman )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Clearly this Te Akau runner owns a fair bit of ability and it was only the wide draw that beat it last time. Fitter and well drawn today

  Next Best

  Won

  F: 8X216   B(11)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Masa Hashizume )

   ( T- Shaun & Emma Clotworthy )

  Won its maiden second up and close up when sixth last time. What we liked about its last run was it ran out the 1600m well and will be even better over more ground in the future

  Consider

  

  6 Rambling On  

  F: 2X614   B(3)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Rihaan Goyaram )

   ( T- Andrew Forsman )

  Has won one of its 4 races but the fields haven't been strong. But this stable does give them time so expect improvement

  Longer Odds

  

  10 Lucan  

  F: 316X6   B(7)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Lynsey Satherley )

   ( T- Debbie Sweeney )

  For a middle distance runner, it was a good effort to be within two lengths of the winner when resuming. That was over 1300m so today will suit better

  F: 11X95   B(10)  W(59.5)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Two runs this campaign have been over distances short of its best. And don't be put off by its 9th and 5th place finishes, as they have in fact been close up. Big chance now over 2100m

  F: 123X2   B(9)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Wiremu Pinn )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  This stable is taking all before it this season and this one showed it had trained on well, from a very promising campaign last time, when beaten less than 1/2 length when resuming. We think it will be too classy for this field
