Main Danger
5 Ivy Time
F: 3625B(2)W(56.5)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Allan Sharrock )
All around the mark so far, and it's another runner that doesn't need to find much to win. Should get a dream run throughout.

4 Furiosa
Dividend : $2.60, $1.30
Won
F: 34464B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Matthew Eales )
Only fair efforts so far, but it has been taking on tough opposition, including Miss Jones last time out. Should find this easier.
Consider
9 Tick Tock Tessa
F:B(3)W(56.0)
( J-Amber Riddell )
( T-Jim Wallace )
A winnable race on debut, and it has a trial win. In-form jockey on board, and there has been money come for it.
Longer Odds
6 Spring Moon
F: 327XB(5)W(56.5)
( J-Sarah O'Malley )
( T-Jo Rathbone )
Nothing wrong with its form last prep, which should be a good form guide for the opener.

12 Scolera
F: 12241B(8)W(55.5)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Jim Collett )
Too good for them last time out, and it could rise through the grades. That came at Matamata, and northern form stacks up well.
Main Danger
8 Platinum Pantheon
Dividend : $1.40
Place
F: X1151B(1)W(58.0)
( J-Bruno Queiroz )
( T-Lisa Latta )
Loving its form this prep after posting three wins. Facing more depth to this field, but it's a progressive type with the inside draw.
Next Best
6 Charmrose
F: X1152B(2)W(58.5)
( J-Rory Hutchings )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Kicked off the prep with consecutive wins, and it wasn't far away when second last time out. Easily good enough to handle this field and each-way odds.
Consider
11 St Giles
F: 4211XB(9)W(56.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Cody Cole )
Good form to end last prep with back-to-back wins. Not an easy race to kick off the new prep, but it can't be overlooked.
Longer Odds
9 Southern Chilli
F: 08X72B(10)W(57.0)
( J-Chris Dell )
( T-Chrissy Bambry )
Better for two runs back from a spell, including a second placing. Can't be overlooked at the price.

Won
F: 34B(2)W(58.5)
( J-Ryan Elliot )
( T-Leanne Elliot )
Not far off the mark so far, and it could be sneaking under the radar. Drawing well is a positive, so it has every chance to win.
Main Danger
9 The King Of Jazz
F: 02B(1)W(58.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Robbie Patterson )
Showed nothing on debut but quickly improved to post a placing. In good hands, and getting the inside draw should see it dictate play.
Next Best
4 Early One's
Dividend : $2.60
Place
F: 0X733B(9)W(58.5)
( J-Erin Leighton )
( T-Howie Mathews )
It comes off two solid placings, which is good enough form for this race. Likely to get back in the run and arrive late.
Consider
1 Charming Emperor
F: 5X532B(8)W(58.5)
( J-Kate Hercock )
( T-Kate Hercock )
Three placings from six starts, and despite carrying a big weight, it should be right in the mix. Its maiden win won't take much longer.

3 Dancing Fantail
F: 54X33B(7)W(58.5)
( J-Rory Hutchings )
( T-John Kiernan )

Main Danger
3 Hoorah Henry
F: 12411B(2)W(58.5)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Lisa Latta )
Gunning for three consecutive wins, and that form is tough to overlook. Drawn well and the small field should suit.
Next Best
8 Leica Ripa
F: 5211B(3)W(54.0)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Fraser Auret )
Another runner shooting for three consecutive wins, and getting down in the weights only helps its chances. Right in the mix.

Place
F: 29751B(7)W(56.0)
( J-Courtney Barnes )

Turned its form around with a win at Te Aroha, and although this isn't an easy field, it should be loom to win at some stage.
Longer Odds
4 The Prophet
F: 4668XB(8)W(57.5)
( J-Ryan Elliot )

Should have benefitted from a spell, and it could come back much stronger.

Won
F: 8X61XB(7)W(57.0)
( J-George Rooke )

It looked good when winning it's most recent run before spelling, and it could return with something similar. Could pay to watch late betting moves.

Place
F: 0X337B(5)W(59.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )

F: 33624B(2)W(60.0)
( J-Jonathan Riddell )
( T-Fraser Auret )
Enjoying a lengthy campaign, and although wins have proving tough to come by, it keeps running well enough to figure in the finish.

9 Vesphire
Dividend :
Place
F: 97244B(4)W(55.5)
( J-Samantha Collett )

Its last three runs have been solid enough to recommend. Gets in with 55.5kg, which could make the difference.

Consider
4 Taupo Dancer
F: X7504B(9)W(58.5)
