  7 O'Valerie  

  F:   B(1)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Matthew Cameron )

   ( T- Ken & Bev Kelso )

   ( J- Masa Hashizume )

   ( T- Shaun & Emma Clotworthy )

  Came up against a good field in a R75 when resuming after 7 months last time, and less than 1 1/2 lengths away. That was only its third start so plenty of upside. Rails draw

  F: 103   B(3)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Sam McNab )

   ( T- Tony Pike )

   ( J- Vinnie Colgan )

   ( J- Vinnie Colgan )

  F: 31   B(5)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

  Imported from Australia and progressed to its first win in Australia at only its third start, at Te Aroha last Saturday. Very impressive then, coming from last, and on the quick back up today

  Main Danger

  

  1 Mollify  

  F: 61311   B(12)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- Lance Noble )

  This former Australian galloper has been very impressive since coming to New Zealand and looks a Cup horse in the making. Should go well over the 2400m here

  8 Santa Catalina

   ( J- Mick Dee )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  What a field they've brought together for this G1, with $500k in stakemoney. This 7yo out of the Stephen Marsh stable took racing by the storm last season and has showed its carried on with that ability since resuming from a spell. Just beaten over 1600m last time but needs this 2000m plus now

  1 Waitak  

  F: X0112   B(8)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  F: 25X11   B(10)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Masa Hashizume )

   ( T- Simon & Katrina Alexander )

  Went on plenty of peoples radar last season when signalling its ability before being spelled in May. Lightly raced with only the 5 starts to date, it clearly matured well over the spell as has been good in winning both starts this campaign

  Main Danger

  

  1 Moxie  

  F: X3811   B(4)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Ken Harrison )

  Interested to see Craig Grylls has been handed the reins on this fast improving mare. It should benefit from the extra 100m here and from a good draw, will be hard to beat

  Next Best

  

  8 Dramatic Miss  

  F: 63604   B(12)  W(55.0)

  Consider

  

  4 First Dance  

  F: 10522   B(1)  W(56.5)
