  2 Henry Thomas  

  Dividend : $1.70

  Place

  F: 11351   B(7)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Tina Comignaghi )

   ( T- Sophie Hargreaves & Naomi Murfitt )

  Has made huge strides in its ability this campaign, winning all 3 races in its last start. Impressive when winning at today's 2600m last time

  Main Danger

  

  6 Platinum Goddess  

  F: 05135   B(6)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Bruno Queiroz )

   ( T- Lisa Latta )

  Northern runner going over this distance for the first time, and that's the concern. But Lisa Latta knows what it takes

  4 Miss Enzed  

  F: X8222   B(4)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Corey Campbell )

   ( T- Brian & Shane Anderton )

  Is better than only 2 wins would suggest, having been runner up 6 times!

  Consider

  

  8 Imperative  

  F: 81431   B(3)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Courtney Barnes )

   ( T- Brian & Shane Anderton )

  Stable and galloper itself in fine form right now and can't be left out

  10 Words Of Mine  

  F: 17335   B(2)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Kendra Bakker )

   ( T- John & Karen Parsons )

  Given it was only 1/2 length behind Henry Thomas over this trip last time, we know it will be running on at the finish

  Time: 1:53 PM | Distance: 1800 m | Prize $ 35000
• Top Pick

  

  3 Oaksdeel  

  Dividend : $1.70

  Place

  F: 73025   B(9)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Bruno Queiroz )

   ( T- Samantha Wynne )

  The booking of Bruno for this capable 4yo mare is key to its chances and now steps up to 1800m for the first time

  Main Danger

  

  11 Vendabelle  

  Dividend : $3.90, $1.60

  Won

  F: 47733   B(11)  W(55.5)

   ( J- Tina Comignaghi )

   ( T- Anna Furlong )

  Ex northerner yet to threaten in two starts in the south but will find this 1800m more to its liking today

  Next Best

  

  7 Taimate Staar  

  F: 93213   B(7)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Kylie Williams )

   ( T- Andrew Carston )

  Consistently good performer. Not far away with Kylie up last start and she sticks, while the drop back from 2000m should suit it

  Consider

  

  1 The Arctic Monkey  

  F: 15   B(13)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Brandon May )

   ( T- Bruce Tapper )

  Caught punters out when winning at long odds on debut. But that was on a Heavy8 so may not be quite as effective on the Soft and wide draw

  Longer Odds

  

  8 Warrior of War  

  F: 52137   B(3)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Triston Moodley )

   ( T- Danny Crozier )

  Only two lengths behind Vendabelle at Riccarton so is at good relative odds

  Race 4 - DAPHNE BANNAN MEMORIAL GREAT EASTER STAKES (L)

  Time: 2:56 PM | Distance: 1400 m | Prize $ 80000
• Top Pick

  

  1 Spot On Time  

  F: X11X8   B(8)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Courtney Barnes )

   ( T- Terri Rae )

  Good money on offer in this Listed race so not surprised to see such a competitive field. Terri Rae has two in the race and interested to note Tristan has switched to her other one, preferring the senior rider here. Will be spot on after its recent run

  Main Danger

  

  14 Iron Hawk  

  Dividend : $1.20

  Place

  F: 20211   B(14)  W(53.0)

   ( J- Tina Comignaghi )

   ( T- Lance Robinson )

  Has been terrific in three runs since arriving in New Zealand and there will be more wins. But tested here from gate 17

  Next Best

  

  16 Graeme John  

  F: 32616   B(2)  W(53.0)

   ( J- Jack Taplin )

   ( T- David Walsh )

  Trainer has been picking up some good wins with Toa Haka and he has improved this one considerably since he took it over

  Consider

  

  2 Inflamed  

  Dividend : $12.30, $2.90

  Won

  F: 68117   B(1)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Corey Campbell )

   ( T- Brian & Shane Anderton )

  Two quality wins in its last three starts before running up against Toa Haka last time, and less than 3 lengths away

  Longer Odds

  Dividend : $3.20

  Place

  F: 2X413   B(7)  W(53.0)

   ( J- Kate Hercock )

   ( T- Andrew Carston )

  Won two back, beating Texas Dolly, and could well run into a place here

• Top Pick

  The 'Day's Best'

  

  4 Circus Trix  

  F: 05812   B(9)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Courtney Barnes )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Stephen Marsh's incredible year could be added to here with this highly tried 3yo. Won over 1600m two back but what we know from previous runs, and its latest, its proven over the distance

  Main Danger

  

  3 Perlino  

  Dividend : $2.40, $1.40

  Won

  F: 31713   B(2)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Bruno Queiroz )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Te Akau runner that really impressed us two back and although beaten last time, Opie got off and said it would better over today's distance. Hard to beat

  Next Best

  

  1 Cashla Bay  

  F: 32410   B(12)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Leah Hemi )

   ( T- Terri Rae )

  Over 5 lengths behind Perlino last start so unlikely to turn that around, even over the extra distance. But prior form suggests its capable of running in the first four

  Consider

  

  7 Hayworth  

  F: 83017   B(3)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Chris Dell )

   ( T- Andrew Campbell )

  Interesting to see this maiden winner stepping out here. But very statute trainer wouldn't be starting it if he didn't think it had the ability

  Longer Odds

  

  9 Aishiteru  

  F: 4010   B(11)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Triston Moodley )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Another Te Akau runner that was back when resuming. We're happy to overlook that as it will have taken good improvement for this

  Best "Each Way"

  

  2 Opawa Jack  

  F: 71424   B(9)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Kate Hercock )

   ( T- Chrissy Bambry )

  Not far away from the winner at Trentham two back, when Crouch was in third. What You Wish For was two lengths behind it on that occasion, and given they meet on pretty much the same terms, this is the value bet for us

  Main Danger

  

  5 What You Wish For  

  F: 81225   B(13)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Bruno Queiroz )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Te Akau said that this one has been boxed at Christchurch since the Trentham run and has been going well. Has to be a big chance but needs to overcome the wide draw

  Dividend : $2.80

  Place

  F: 11400   B(7)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Kylie Williams )

   ( T- Shankar Muniandy )

  Its formline doesn't look great in its last few starts but in fact it was less than 4 lengths behind Toa Haka last time over 1600m. Has won only start at this distance

  Consider

  

  1 Sir Albert  

  F: 28202   B(8)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Leah Hemi )

   ( T- Terri Rae )

  As honest and consistent as they come and sure to give its best today. Up from 1600m now and has won three at the distance

  Place

  F: 80389   B(5)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Triston Moodley )

   ( T- Sharon Robertson and Alan Reeves )

  A winner of over $540k, clearly it's a class galloper and would probably win this if near its peak

  3 Brutal Riff  

  F: 12   B(13)  W(59.5)

   ( J- Triston Moodley )

   ( T- Terri Rae )

  A win and close second in only two starts after winning a trial to prepare, and a galloper than can rise through the grades. Unlucky to have drawn this outside gate today but its not a great field and can overcome it

  Main Danger

  

  6 Wanderin Spelle  

  Dividend : $3.60

  Place

  F: X2364   B(10)  W(59.5)

   ( J- Daniel Bothamley )

   ( T- Ross Beckett )

  Was just in behind Bodleian 7 weeks ago and has the fitness advantage of two races since. Will also need to overcome a wide draw

  Next Best

  

  1 Bodleian  

  F: 6X122   B(4)  W(60.0)

   ( J- Jack Taplin )

   ( T- Stephanie Faulkner )

  Just the 6 starts and showing plenty of potential, winning once in its first campaign. Resumes and with a good draw, shouldn't be far away at the business end

  Consider

  

  9 Verdian  

  F: 403X0   B(2)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Kate Hercock )

   ( T- Jamie Bullard )

  Better for resuming run and is well drawn to get every chance

  Longer Odds

  

  8 Dupont  

  F: 75061   B(3)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Akshay Balloo )

   ( T- Terry Kennedy )

  This ex northerner didn't need long to return on owners investment, winning at only its second start in the south, four weeks ago. At value odds to back that up
