  6 Flanagan  

  Dividend : $2.10

  Place

  F: 46414   B(2)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Ben Thompson )

   ( T- Samantha Logan )

  A solid each-way bet in a very even race. Scored well two back and it fought to the line last start, so it warrants attention.

  Main Danger

  

  1 Peerless  

  F: 86421   B(1)  W(59.5)

   ( J- Joe Doyle )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  It could be a big day for the stable, and it's coming off a good win. Drawn to get all favours, and it has always had plenty of upside.

  4 Steely Man  

  F: 57053   B(8)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Tayla Mitchell )

   ( T- Lynda German )

  Indicated that it's not far off producing an overdue win when running third last time out. Worth following based on that effort.

  Consider

  

  13 Young Jackson  

  F: 813   B(7)  W(55.0)

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( T- Roger James & Robert Wellwood )

  Doesn't have as much experience as most runners in this field, but it could have more upside. Worth including based on its recent win and placing.

  9 On The Town  

  F: 75932   B(10)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

  Dividend : $2.20

  Place

  F: 43212   B(10)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Dean Yendall )

   ( T- Benjamin King )

  Only fair last time out, but it's on the ballot for the NZB Kiwi, so they think plenty of it. Could bounce back at value each-way odds.

  Main Danger

  

  9 Confesara  

  Dividend : $2.60, $1.30

  Won

  F: 21203   B(4)  W(55.0)

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( T- Roger James & Robert Wellwood )

  Having a good campaign, including a win and multiple placings. Drawn and weighted to figure in the finish, and the money has come.

  7 Bolli Belle  

  F: 11   B(6)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Ben Thompson )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Unbeaten after two starts, and it could be a nice type in the making. Plenty of unknowns, but we know enough to include it in picks.

  6 Origin Of Love  

  Dividend : $1.90

  Place

  F: 15224   B(5)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Mick Dee )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  It has form around some nice types, and that should be a big asset for a race like this. In the right colours for a big race day.

  11 Alacritous  

  F: 71X4   B(8)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

  A solid fresh up performance, and it should look to build on that effort. 55kg on its back should help.

  8 Chica Mojito  

  Dividend : $1.80

  Place

  F: 2X331   B(3)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Ben Thompson )

   ( T- Chris Waller )

  Australian form is typically good in NZ at this level. Got home last time out for an overdue win, and it should love being down in the weights.

  Main Danger

  

  5 Mare Of Mt Buller  

  F: X8012   B(10)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Rory Hutchings )

   ( T- Chris Waller )

  Beaten by Chica Mojito last time out, but it was a good effort. Fitter now, and it has enough speed to put this field away with the right run.

  Next Best

  

  3 Tomodachi  

  F: X3X43   B(2)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Joe Doyle )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  The best of the locals. Working its way towards a win after two solid efforts, and it could let down with its customary turn-of-foot.

  Consider

  

  1 Quintessa  

  Dividend : $2.20

  Place

  F: 9X17X   B(4)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  A good winning record and it could show up in a fresh state. Bosson rides, which helps, and punters get odds worth including in multiples.

  4 Mary Shan  

  F: 71133   B(9)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Wiremu Pinn )

   ( T- Andrew Forsman )

  Won

  F: 2X113   B(9)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Masa Hashizume )

   ( T- Roger James & Robert Wellwood )

  A huge effort to run third behind the Aussies last time out. That's the best form guide for this race, and it only needs luck from the draw.

  Main Danger

  

  8 Alabama Lass  

  F: X20X7   B(5)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Samantha Collett )

   ( T- Ken & Bev Kelso )

  The classy runner of the race, and we're hoping it can bounce back after a tough fresh up effort in NZ. At its best, it wins.

  Place

  F: 3413X   B(1)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Dean Yendall )

   ( T- Henry Dwyer )

  Must respect the Australians, especially over the sprinting distances. Draws the rails, and punters get each-way odds to enjoy.

  Consider

  

  6 I'm All In  

  F: 42X31   B(8)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

  F: 46493   B(7)  W(56.0)

  F: 111   B(4)  W(55.0)

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  A superstar in the making after cruising home in all three starts. Blistering speed, and they'll do well to keep up.

  2 Harvey Wallbanger  

  F: 1222   B(9)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Tony Pike )

  A bit of a head case, but when it puts everything together, it has enough ability to beat this field. Has experience at Ellerslie, which helps.

  8 Te Encuentro  

  F: 12   B(5)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  Second behind the favourite last time out, but it showed a good turn-of-foot to win on debut. That's a good form guide, and it could finish best.

  Consider

  

  1 Justin Case  

  F: 211   B(3)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Rory Hutchings )

   ( T- Kris Shailer )

  Helped by the track bias last start, but it was an impressive win. If it can find another length on that run, it could be right in the mix.

  F: 41   B(2)  W(55.0)

  F: 54341   B(3)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

   ( T- Ken & Bev Kelso )

  There's not many around that you immediately think 'will win' before even looking at the opposition, but this is one of them. And having looked at the others here, we don't think we can go against it. At peak fitness and the maestro in the saddle should see it home

  Main Danger

  

  8 Jaarffi  

  F: 33271   B(4)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- Lance Noble )

  This 6yo mare has always looked like it can compete with the best and has really matured into that very galloper now as a 6yo. Trainer/jockey combination with a terrific strike rate and at good EW odds

  Place

  F: 11279   B(5)  W(59.0)

  9 Provence  

  F: 21893   B(6)  W(57.0)

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( J- Mick Dee )

   ( T- Michael & Matthew Pitman )

  We ask ourselves why can't this one be winning. Has looked the part from the moment it arrived from Australian and the Pitmans can't talk it up anymore than they have. Just got found out at the finish at Trentham but will be better for that experience. Rails draw

   ( T- Kris Lees )

  Ben Thompson had a big pay day last time he came over and he is set with a big chance of repeating this. Although its lead up race was over 1400m, don't let that put you off this Australian raider as it will have sharpened it up nicely

  Comes into this with just the 5 runs under its belt but has been very progressive, winning two along the way. Stepped up to 2100m for the first time last start and less than 6 lengths behind That's Gold, and should be even better over the 2400m
