Place
F: 46943B(7)W(56.5)
( J-Triston Moodley )
( T-Ainsley McLeod )
Has been better in two runs since stepping up to over 2000m and with this talented apprentice up today, should be winning
Main Danger
5 Shockus
Dividend : $1.30
Place
F: 65582B(9)W(57.0)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-John & Karen Parsons )
Better run last time when Tina was on the reins for the first time. Trainers stick with her and rates a good chance, but was beaten over 5 lengths on that occasion
Next Best
9 Grane
F: 57X90B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Terry Moseley )
( T-Andrew Carston )
Third up today and now switching to middle distance. Will prefer this Soft track too

Dividend : $4.20, $1.50
Won
F: 23X33B(10)W(56.5)
( J-Donovan Cooper )
( T-Kelvin Tyler )
Looks to have a bit of ability and can't be discounted, given it's from the Kevin Tyler stable. First start at this distance
Longer Odds
2 Mr Pacquiao
F: 79565B(3)W(58.5)
( J-Kendra Bakker )
( T-Kezia Murphy )
Was only 3 1/2 lengths behind Shockus last start so EW odds are favourable

Top Pick
4 Sauvage
F: 60040B(10)W(58.0)
( J-Corey Campbell )
( T-Sarah & Matthew Smith )
Found the opposition a bit tough at the Riccarton cup meeting last time and this is a lot easier. Course should suit its racing style
Main Danger
9 Esperimento
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 87233B(9)W(55.5)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-Kevin McAuley )
Has finished close up in all of its last three runs and a win doesn't look far away. Trainer has enlisted Tina to get the job done
Next Best
1 Snow Brainer
F: 64X15B(4)W(59.0)
( J-Triston Moodley )
( T-Kelvin Tyler )
Won its maiden at Wingatui two back and and ran well there again 3 weeks ago, with this talented apprentice up. He rides it again today
Consider
5 Endean Ace
F: 90454B(11)W(57.5)
( J-Kylie Williams )
( T-Cyrille Leveque )
Ex northerner that was only 1 1/2 lengths off the winner 5 days ago. Now its third run in the south and quick back up is a good sign
Longer Odds
11 No Bouquet
F: 40630B(7)W(55.0)
( J-Krishna Mudhoo )
( T-Jo-Ann Gordon )
Steps up to 2000m today and that should see the necessary improvement
Autumn Breeze has a bit of a reputation and this one beat it when on debut three weeks ago. With that experience, and natural improvement, we'll be surprised it it gets beaten today
Main Danger
14 Ruby's Girl
F:B(1)W(55.0)
( J-Corey Campbell )
( T-Brian & Shane Anderton )
This 3yo is on debut and has the rails draw to its advantage. Despite no trial form, there has been early interest in the market
Next Best
9 My Sharona
Dividend : $3.00, $1.30
Won
F: X8X40B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-Anna Furlong )
Going to excuse its run at the Riccarton Cup meeting as it drew wide and was never a chance. This is easier and Tina is in the saddle now
Consider
8 Quintain
F: 6X354B(7)W(56.5)
( J-Billy Jacobson )
( T-Emma Wyatt )
It ran in a good field last time and exceeded expectations, considering it was paying $55. Expect further progress
Longer Odds
3 Bax Factor
Dividend : $4.10
Place
F: 64934B(9)W(58.5)
( J-Brandon May )
( T-Nayton Mitchell )
Behind the placegetters recently, without threatening, but it won't take much for it to be in the mix

Dividend : $1.30
Place
F: 22B(13)W(55.0)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-Anna Furlong )
Yes it has drawn wide but it does look a bit better than its rivals here. Tina sticks and adds a lot of value
Main Danger
5 Into The Wind
F: 6B(1)W(57.0)
( J-Billy Jacobson )
( T-Krystal Williams )
Rails draw and ran OK on debut, after coming out of a wide gate. Rails draw and this South African jockey will give it every chance
Next Best

Won
F: 48820B(5)W(57.0)
( J-Triston Moodley )

Forget its last run in a stronger field at the Riccarton Cup meeting, and out of a wide gate. Well drawn today and good apprentice on the reins
Consider
7 Maria Pilar
Dividend : $2.20
Place
F: 255X3B(11)W(56.5)
( J-Kylie Williams )
( T-Kelly Shearing )
Can't be overlooked. All its runs have ben in the Heavy and it hasn't been far away. expect it will appreciate the firmer conditions today
Longer Odds
11 Taimate Warrior
F: 6X57B(16)W(55.0)
( J-Krishna Mudhoo )
( T-Andrew Carston )
We'd be rated this higher if it was drawn further in as is showing itself to be a good prospect in its three runs to date

1 La Bella Nera
F: 85560B(4)W(60.0)
( J-Triston Moodley )
( T-John & Karen Parsons )
Seven time winner that goes well fresh and should really have too much ability for this field
Main Danger
4 Lise Paree
Dividend : $4.00, $1.70
Won
F: 26299B(2)W(54.0)
( J-Gosen Jogoo )
( T-Len & Lacy Stewart )
Ever so consistent 5yo that should have won more. Comes into this after a very good run on the last day of the Riccarton Cup meeting. Steeping up from R75
Next Best
7 Balzano
F: 84984B(3)W(54.0)
( J-Brandon May )
( T-Nikki White )
Less than 1 1/2 lengths behind Sestina 5 days ago and now on the quick back up
Consider
3 Penvose Lad
Dividend : $2.70
Place
F: 55077B(1)W(55.5)
( J-Krishna Mudhoo )
( T-Ebony Turner )
Can this 5yo recapture its run of form from earlier in the year. Second up today so fitter
Longer Odds
6 Charm Manhattan
Dividend : $1.90
Place
F: 54331B(5)W(54.0)
( J-Brett Murray )
( T-Krystal Williams )
Last start winner at odds, so is our odds player in this today
Just the five starts and good enough to win one of them. Good young trainer and open to further improvement from last run
Main Danger
1 Tommy Shelby
F: X6590B(9)W(59.5)
( J-Terry Moseley )
( T-Anna Furlong )
Dropped back to R65 at the Riccarton Cup meeting and although finishing 11th, was actually only 7 lengths from the winner - and that was clearly much stronger than this field
Next Best
8 Game Duke
F: 95373B(7)W(55.5)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-Len & Lacy Stewart )
Amazing to think this 7yo has only won the one race as it is so honest and consistent. Tina sticks with it once again, which is a good sign
Consider

Dividend : $2.50
Place
F: 60490B(8)W(54.5)
( J-Gosen Jogoo )

Another one that comes out of the Riccarton meeting and will be more competitive today

Top Pick
5 Patsy Spirit
F: 0X572B(4)W(57.5)
( J-Terry Moseley )
( T-Eamonn Green )
A lot to suggest that this ex northerner can make a winning start in the south. Not only was it very well performed in the north, it has opened up favourite, and Terry Moseley takes the reins. nice draw too
Main Danger
2 Winexpress
Dividend : $9.30, $2.70
Won
F: 04010B(11)W(59.0)
( J-Corey Campbell )

A four time winner when racing up north, it took on a good field at Riccarton and wasn't far away
Next Best
3 The Red Rhino
F: X1467B(3)W(58.0)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-John & Karen Parsons )
Looked the winner at one stage in the straight when running in stronger company at Riccarton last time. Only win was on the Soft going
Consider
13 Daphne Dior
F: 07068B(9)W(54.0)
( J-Brandon May )
( T-Sarah & Matthew Smith )
Don't let its last start placing of 8th put you off as it was only 4 1/2 lengths from the winner
Longer Odds
6 Cutout
F: 0610B(10)W(57.0)
( J-Akshay Balloo )
( T-John & Karen Parsons )
Forget its last run at the Riccarton Cup meeting when in a conditions race. Won its maiden prior and could well bounce back
