Model of consistency in recent races, finishing close up, and stepped up to run in a Listed race last time. Good run considering wide draw too. Drops back to maiden company here and Craig Grylls rides

Top Pick
6 Crown Princess
F: 315XB(5)W(57.0)
( J-Wiremu Pinn )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Spelled after running in a Stakes race back in January. Bolted in in its maiden win prior so looks to own good ability. Te Akau have trialled and it has won its last one
Main Danger
5 Geneva
F: 48309B(7)W(57.5)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Kylie Hoskin )
Only its 6th start to date and a winner of one, but could have been more but for running in quality fields in Group races. From an in-form stable and very hard to beat
Next Best
8 Waiata
F: 60X15B(1)W(57.0)
( J-Rory Hutchings )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Won its maiden when resuming and seen finishing to good effect behind talented Sibling Rivalry last time. This its toughest test

Main Danger
5 Peerless
F: 741X8B(3)W(56.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Although 8th last start, was in fact only 3 1/2 lengths away from the talented Moxie. Hard to beat today, with Craig Grylls on the reins

Backed down from an opening $27 so there must be others like us that thought that was a pretty good run at Te Aroha. It wasn't a bad field at all
