• Top Pick

  

  5 Oh Maimai  

  F: 3151   B(4)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Jim Chung )

   ( T- Robbie Patterson )

  Punters overlooked it at Otaki last time. Was impressive in beating a couple of good types and now back on home track, can go back to back

  Main Danger

  

  2 Midnight Train  

  Dividend : 

  Place

  F: 521   B(5)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Erin Leighton )

   ( T- Ralph Manning )

  After two promising performances up north, trainer brought it to the CD and it duly won against weaker opposition. Stable in form and is the obvious danger

  Next Best

  

  1 Intention  

  F: 7330X   B(3)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Toni Davies )

   ( T- Mike Breslin )

  Resumes. Considering its last run was in the 1000 Guineas, its clearly well thought of and should be competitive at this level

  Consider

  

  4 Faultless  

  Dividend : $2.30

  Place

  F: 40570   B(2)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Hayley Hassman )

   ( T- Peter & Shaun McKay )

  Astute trainers drop this one back after trying it over middle distance. Hasn't been winning much but do note that it has been in Stakes races

  Longer Odds

  

  6 Kawakawa  

  F: 17664   B(6)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Rohan Mudhoo )

   ( T- Kevin & Stephen Gray )

  Just over 2 1/2 lengths behind our top pick last start and that rates it a chance for your multis

  Place

  F: X1215   B(4)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Hayley Hassman )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Has been in cracking form this campaign and does look to have the ability to put this field away

  Main Danger

  

  1 Idyllic  

  Dividend : 

  Place

  F: 67032   B(3)  W(60.0)

   ( J- Rohan Mudhoo )

   ( T- Kevin & Stephen Gray )

  Only just beaten at Otaki last time and looks to have upside from that

  3 Basel Warrior  

  Dividend : $2.80, $1.90

  Won

  F: 59117   B(5)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Jasmine Fawcett )

   ( T- Jim Collett )

  Has been in top form, winning twice, but although we can probably put its Matamata run down to the Heavy track, it was a bit concerning

  Consider

  

  5 Riverplate  

  F: X4943   B(2)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Elen Nicholas )

   ( T- Andrew Campbell )

  A R75 galloper so has to find a bit against these Open class performers. but does look better than the other runner

  Longer Odds

  

  4 Gohugo  

  F: 76219   B(1)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Floor Moerman )

   ( T- Guy Lowry & Leah Zydenbos )

  Dividend : $1.90

  Place

  F: 3   B(7)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Kavish Chowdhoory )

   ( T- Robbie Patterson )

  Robbie Patterson has scratched his more fancied runner so this one is worth focusing on. A 3yo, it was only 3/4 length away on debut, after winning a trial prior

  Main Danger

  

  8 Fleur De Blues  

  Dividend : $2.70, $1.50

  Won

  F: 6X333   B(4)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Hayley Hassman )

   ( T- Debbie Harris )

  Four thirds from its 5 starts and looks sure to be in the mix today, especially with Hayley taking the reins. Interesting to note Jim Chung has been riding and gets off to ride our Top Pick

  Next Best

  

  2 The Black Prince  

  F: 3   B(6)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Courtney Barnes )

   ( T- Allan Sharrock )

  Another local having its second run. Won its last two trials prior so clearly has ability

  Consider

  

  7 Excellence Patch  

  F:   B(2)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Elen Nicholas )

   ( T- Shaun Phelan )

  On debut after winning its last trial. This stable always has them ready to go fresh up

  F:   B(9)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Amber Riddell )

   ( J- Hayley Hassman )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Te Akau runner that has been well trialled and now comes south for its first race day run. Their star apprentice rides and brings the 2kg claim

  1 Saltburn  

  F: X0655   B(4)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Amber Riddell )

   ( T- Josh King & Maija Vance )

  Amber Riddell is riding for this stable in the previous race and takes the reins for them on this one too

  Place

  F: 37   B(3)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Rohan Mudhoo )

   ( T- Robbie Patterson )

  Third up for this good local stable after going well on debut. Drawn well to get every chance

  Consider

  

  9 Zaconic  

  F: 066   B(5)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Jim Chung )

   ( T- Tawhiti Hina )

  Yet to show anything in 3 starts but now resumes after a 2 month spell. We know how this stable gets them right

  F: 540   B(2)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Courtney Barnes )

   ( T- Allan Sharrock )

  1 Sir Bruce  

  F: 62242   B(5)  W(60.0)

   ( J- Kavish Chowdhoory )

   ( T- Robbie Patterson )

  Locally trained and won only race on course, as well as 4 seconds. Has been much improved since stepping up to middle distance and probably should have won last start

  Main Danger

  

  4 Bruno  

  F: 60421   B(3)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Jim Chung )

   ( T- Trudy & Vaughan Keegan )

  Terrific run to win fresh up on a Heavy8, and could well back up. This nearby stable does well on this track

  Next Best

  

  5 Pure Bars  

  F: 34139   B(7)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Corentin Berge )

   ( T- Brent Pinny )

  Down from Ellerslie and has seen a lot of early support in the market

  Won

  F: 22134   B(8)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Elen Nicholas )

   ( T- Guy Lowry & Leah Zydenbos )

  Model of consistency and actually finished 3/4 length ahead of Ivy's Dancer at Taupo in its last start

  3 Roederer  

  F: 84777   B(2)  W(59.5)

   ( J- Amber Riddell )

   ( T- Josh King & Maija Vance )

  Dividend : $2.50

  Place

  F: 72210   B(1)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Elen Nicholas )

   ( T- Clinton Isdale )

  After beating Enrico two back, it subsequently finished 12 lengths behind at Matamata last time, not its true form. Can bounce back in a open contest

  Main Danger

  

  7 Steal My Thunder  

  F: 41356   B(3)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Jasmine Fawcett )

   ( T- Bill Thurlow and Sam O’Malley )

  Trainers will have targeted this $50k race and now third up this campaign, will be at peak fitness. Has the ability to be winning and this jockey's racing style should suit perfectly

  3 Sunset Boulevard  

  Dividend : 

  Place

  F: 11481   B(7)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Floor Moerman )

   ( T- Kevin Myers )

  This galloper has been a revelation since moving to the Myers stable in the spring. On the quick back up and sure to be competitive

  Consider

  

  6 Belle Tribute  

  F: 17341   B(6)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Kavish Chowdhoory )

   ( T- Allan Sharrock )

  It might well have only been a R75 that it won last time but when you consider that made it 5 wins from just 14 starts, it is smart and progressive

  Longer Odds

  

  1 Wolfgang  

  F: 0010X   B(4)  W(62.0)

   ( J- Hayley Hassman )

   ( T- Peter & Shaun McKay )

  St Leger winner that last raced in the NZ Cup, so surely capable of taking this out if left alone in front

  Place

  F: 92341   B(1)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Toni Davies )

   ( T- Tawhiti Hina )

  Only got there by the barest of margins here 3 weeks ago but will be more improved for that, now third up. We rate this trainer and rails draw to advantage

  Main Danger

  

  5 Belles Fate  

  F: 5X345   B(6)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Amber Riddell )

   ( T- Robbie Patterson )

  Looks the best of local trainer Robbie Patterson's two runners. wasn't far off Anderson's Bridge and afternoon Siesta at Trentham last time and both those runners won against quality fields last weekend

  1 He's Lucid  

  F: X0423   B(3)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Hayley Hassman )

   ( T- Kevin Myers )

  No question that Kevin Myers will have this one spot on today and will be hard to beat, but the concern is that it has still only won once from 16 starts

  Consider

  

  6 Beauesk  

  F: X7122   B(5)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Jim Chung )

   ( T- Robbie Patterson )

  Trained on the track and all of its three runs have been very good, and it was only the nod of the head that resulted it in finishing second here last time

  Won

  F: 69X21   B(2)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Courtney Barnes )

   ( T- Ben & Ryan Foote )

  Lightly raced 6yo that has been impressive in both runs since being imported from Hong Kong. Won its maiden in the most recent of those and can continue the progress

  8 Sattriya  

  F: 231   B(4)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Kavish Chowdhoory )

   ( T- Allan Sharrock )

  Pretty impressive to win in such challenging track conditions as it struck here three weeks ago. Given that was only its third start, it clearly has upside

  9 Stipulator  

  F: 49773   B(1)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Liam Kauri )

   ( T- Gavin Sharrock )

  Looked an exciting prospect early on in its career and although its performed well at times, it needs to step up here to restore its reputation. Rails draw

  Place

  F: X3564   B(5)  W(61.0)

   ( J- Hayley Hassman )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Although there are promising types in the race, it is not a strong field so we expect that this Te Akau runner, resuming, will be thereabouts at the business end

  Longer Odds

  

  6 Jaeger  

  F: 27638   B(8)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Jim Chung )

   ( T- Robbie Patterson )
