F: 20720B(11)W(57.5)

This new trainer has started off well and he might get another here. Best judged on an excellent run at the Riccarton Cup meeting on the middle day, when running second

Surprised to see this one open up favourite as it has only won once in 20 starts and hasn't raced for 10 weeks. Watch the tote for further support

( J-Amber Riddell )
( T-Samantha Wynne )
Stepped up to 2000m for the first time when at the Riccarton Cup meeting and finished close up despite coming out of gate 15. Followed that run through when bolting in by 5 1/2 lengths at Timaru. Clearly its loving the middle distance
Main Danger
6 Endean Ace
F: 04547B(11)W(57.5)
( J-Billy Jacobson )
( T-Cyrille Leveque )
A win isn't far away. Ignore Cromwell run as the course doesn't suit a lot of runners and repeat of run two back puts it right in the finish
Next Best
13 Marella Miss
F: 02553B(1)W(54.0)
( J-Mereana Hudson )
( T-Maurice Forde )
Only the 6 runs but has made good progress to finish close up in its last 4 starts. Rails draw should assure it a good run today

Won here over 1600m last time, at its 5th time of asking. Showing good promise

F: 96900B(10)W(58.0)
( J-Daniel Bothamley )
( T-Bruce Tapper )
Freshened since two runs at the Riccarton Cup meeting. This field a whole lot easier and could surprise
We've always felt this one had the ability and we've been patient. Tina has made a difference this campaign and we're getting a return. It can win again

F: 25X22B(1)W(54.0)

F: X8010B(5)W(54.0)

Dividend : $1.40
Place
F: 3X228B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Liam Kauri )
( T-Robert Dennis )
Simply put, it looks different class to the rest. Excuse its last start when in a G3 at the Riccarton Cup meeting (and not far away) and can take this out in the capable hands of this northern apprentice
Main Danger
8 Radiant Reach
F: 724P2B(9)W(54.0)

Interested to see Amber Riddell on this one. If she can overcome the wide draw, expect it to be in the finish

F: 11X99B(8)W(57.0)

F: 1X701B(1)W(57.5)
( J-Liam Kauri )

5yo mare that is running better now than it ever did, and is close up every time. Smart win over 1200m last time but this step up to 1600m holds no fears
Main Danger
11 Eight Pence
F: X6311B(9)W(56.0)
( J-Rohan Mudhoo )
