  The 'Day's Best'

  

  1 La Dorada  

  F: 11X00   B(7)  W(59.5)

   ( J- Hayley Hassman )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Champion 3yo filly last season and, but for disappointing when taken to Australia, its record would read 4 wins from 5 starts and over $1m in Stakes. If anywhere near its best to resume, will be winning

  Main Danger

  

  3 To Cap It All  

  Dividend : $1.20

  Place

  F: 54202   B(4)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Sam Weatherley )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Looked the winner last week until That's Gold came with a wet said to get up close to home. On the quick back up and that's a good sign

  5 Halo's Fire  

  F: 1   B(2)  W(54.0)

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( T- Mark Forbes )

  Won on debut back in October and has been given time since. Backed in from opening $17 so obviously going well at home

  Consider

  

  7 Yousito  

  F: 2X1   B(5)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Paul Richards )

  Won its maiden at the beginning of last month, in only its second start. This tougher but place looks a possibility

  F: 185   B(8)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Matthew Cameron )

  Won

  F:   B(1)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Masa Hashizume )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  Think this filly might be smart. It will certainly be well prepared and has the rails draw to its advantage on debut

  Main Danger

  

  1 Spellbound  

  F: 23   B(4)  W(57.0)

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( T- Roger James & Robert Wellwood )

  3 Sonoran  

  F: 17652   B(5)  W(59.5)

   ( J- Darren Danis )

   ( T- Vicki Prendergast )

  Just the 13 starts to date, it showed last start it is better over a bit of distance and can go on with it here

  Main Danger

  

  6 Afterglo  

  F: X0149   B(11)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

   ( T- Stephen Autridge )

  Will be interested to see how this one progresses in the future, now its going up to middle distance for the first time. With two wins from its 8 starts, the potential is evident

  Next Best

  

  1 Heza Sharp One  

  F: 36319   B(3)  W(60.0)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Team Rogerson )

  Craig Grylls won on it in a R65 two back and it drops back to that same grade today, albeit up 2 1/2kg. Won't be far away

  Consider

  Place

  F: 31520   B(2)  W(59.5)

   ( J- Triston Moodley )

   ( T- Sam Mynott )

  Has been running well but might have found the ground a bit firm last start. Good apprentice is re-united and drops back from a R75

  5 Poetic Justice  

  F: 5X668   B(12)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Sam McNab )

   ( T- Tony Pike )

  We feel like we've selected this Tony Pike runner so many times and yet it has only won once ... but it has been second 8 times! Now a 5yo, it showed improvement last time and was just 2 lengths behind Sonoran last start

  Dividend : $2.60, $1.50

  Won

  F: 2X214   B(12)  W(59.0)

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( T- Hanna Orting and Sophia Nolan )

  Just the one win from 4 starts but does look like a horse that could rise through the grades. Bolted in to win its maiden two back and beaten by the wide draw last time

  Main Danger

  

  8 Amyer Star  

  F: 1228X   B(11)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Joe Doyle )

   ( T- Andrew Forsman )

  When Andrew Forsman was asked what his best chance was this weekend, he gave out this one. Why would we not go with that

  Next Best

  

  12 Lyin' Eyes  

  F: 31   B(1)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Tayla Mitchell )

   ( T- Chris Wood )

  Beat Navy Ensign a 1/2 length last time but Golden Wings beat it 4 1/2 lengths. That doesn't always work out as a measure of their ability but ....

  Consider

  

  11 Atlanta Gold  

  F: 314   B(10)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Elen Nicholas )

   ( T- Allan Morley )

  Good effort to beat a capable galloper two back and can get back in the mix here, after running in a stronger line up last start

  F: 3X228   B(5)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

  Dividend : 

  Place

  F: 2X723   B(7)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- Lance Noble )

  Two lengths behind Qali Al Farrasha in the G2 Breeders Stakes last time when the winner got a beautiful run through at the right time. This one was finishing well and with the extra distance, can get the better today

  Main Danger

  

  1 Qali Al Farrasha  

  F: 3X891   B(5)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Quality galloper and terri9fic ride by Wiremu saw it win the G2 three weeks ago. That was its third run this campaign and will have more improvement, as well as going better over more ground

  Next Best

  

  4 Bourbon Empress  

  F: 67X25   B(6)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Joe Doyle )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  17 Smart Love  

  F: 1X111   B(2)  W(53.0)

   ( J- Masa Hashizume )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  What a terrific field we have here for this G3 Sprint. Can this exciting 4yo mare go from a R75 to win this? We think so. And these trainers clearly think so

  Main Danger

  

  1 Captured By Love  

  F: 8X521   B(10)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Won over this distance at Riccarton last time, despite coming out of gate 14. Back to its best and Opie takes over the reins today

  3 Force Of Nature  

  F: 116X1   B(4)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Andrew Forsman )

  F: 7X176   B(12)  W(55.0)

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( T- Shaune Ritchie & Colm Murray )

  Goes in on its good ability but will find it hard to be winni9ng from gate 12, despite the talent of George Rooke

  Longer Odds

  

  4 Cannon Hill  

  F: 52613   B(8)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Tony Pike )

  This Tony Pike runner has been talked up a bit over the last couple of seasons and now, with the maturity of its 5 years, is one that could surprise

  10 Have A Crack  

  F: X1132   B(13)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Tayla Mitchell )

   ( T- Chad Ormsby )

  We don't often feel confident of a galloper that has drawn gate 14 in a 1200m sprint but in this one today, it does look to be a bit of a special. Split two very talented types over 1100m two weeks ago when over 1100m and will enjoy this extra 100m

  Main Danger

  

  11 When Stars Align  

  Dividend : $3.70

  Place

  F: 240X1   B(3)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Looked in good heart when returning to win over distance 4 weeks ago. Nicely drawn today and Opie takes the reins

  9 Erin Go Bragh  

  F: 23X20   B(11)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  No doubting this one's capability to win this on its ability, and did finish ahead of our Top Pick two back, but will find it tough from gate 12

  14 Romilly  

  F: 214X7   B(8)  W(55.5)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Graham Richardson & Rogan Norvall )

  16 Judicial  

  F: X32X8   B(6)  W(57.0)

  Dividend : $1.90

  Place

  F: 43215   B(3)  W(53.0)

   ( J- Triston Moodley )

   ( T- Jim Pender )

  What a revelation this 6yo has been in what has been a long, but well managed, campaign. Never winning by much, it is never beaten far either and was only 3/4 length away last time. Good draw and talented apprentice

  Main Danger

  

  10 Sassy Lass  

  F: X7938   B(1)  W(53.0)

   ( J- Masa Hashizume )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  Third up last start and only 1/2 length behind Gigi 3 weeks ago. Rails draw and ready to test them

  4 Blue Sky At Night  

  F: 0X067   B(4)  W(53.0)

   ( J- Tayla Mitchell )

   ( T- Shelley Hale )

  Don't be put off by its 7th placing last time as that was in a tight finish in the Counties Cup, it was just only over 1 length from the winner and right behind Gigi, despite its wide draw

  Consider

  

  1 Sharp 'N' Smart

  Won

  F: 48334   B(10)  W(59.0)

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( T- Team Rogerson )

  Champion 3yo and has won over $3m so would clearly beat this field if regaining its best form. It is running better and has to be considered

  14 Myakkabelle  

  F: 3X573   B(2)  W(53.0)

   ( J- Jasmine Fawcett )

   ( T- Ben & Ryan Foote )

  Taken to Otaki last time and made a good fist of its first run over middle distance. Will be improved for that

  Won

  F: 125X1   B(6)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Sam McNab )

   ( T- Roger James & Robert Wellwood )

  Although it would still have been hard to beat with it in the race, with Smart Love opting for the earlier G3 Sprint, the door is open for this one to back up its impressive performance when resuming

  Main Danger

  

  10 Steely Man  

  F: X8912   B(9)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Joe Doyle )

   ( T- Lynda German )

  Has always looked a galloper of good ability and has now matured to a level that its producing its best form. Joe Doyle just missed when riding it last time and will know the horse better now

  8 Lachie  

  F: 1X017   B(8)  W(58.0)
