8 Clew Bay
F: 66324B(5)W(58.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Finished just ahead of Ivy's Dancer two back and will be hard to beat with the services of Michael McNab again
Next Best
3 Taupo Dancer
F: 04469B(4)W(60.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Kevin & Stephen Gray )
Looked as if it found the 2400m too far last time and now back to 2100m, a distance it ran well over at Trentham

Dividend : $23.30, $6.00
Won
F: F0207B(9)W(58.0)
( J-Matt Cartwright )

F: 23B(1)W(56.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Te Akau runner that is third up today and has gone well in both races to date, and well backed to do so. Improved when stepped up to 2000m last time
Main Danger
12 Hit 'n' Run
F: 56354B(2)W(56.5)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Kelly Van Dyk )

Place
F: 9X043B(13)W(58.5)
( J-Michael McNab )

Place

F: 50B(12)W(58.5)
( J-Lynsey Satherley )
( T-Stephen Ralph )

Top Pick
11 In Your Dreams
F: 30XB(4)W(55.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Tested in Stakes level at only its second start last December and then spelled. Will be more mature now and early support suggests its been showing up at home
Main Danger
13 Rosalina
F: 20B(8)W(55.5)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Roger James & Robert Wellwood )
Does look the one to beat. Won trials either side of two runs and was beaten just over a length on debut
Next Best
3 Centurial
F: 552B(5)W(57.5)
( J-Hayley Hassman )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Te Akau have called up Opie to ride this promising 3yo. Has been close up in all three runs
Consider
8 Marzenie
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 8X222B(15)W(55.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Graham Richardson & Rogan Norvall )
Just the five starts and three seconds in all its runs this campaign. Unlucky to have drawn so wide
Longer Odds
4 Gitano
F: 2B(10)W(57.5)
( J-Tayla Mitchell )
( T-Maxim & Samantha Van Lierde )
Just missed at Whanganui on debut when at odds three weeks ago and will be improved for that experience

Top Pick
16 Pink Petra
F:B(6)W(56.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Simon & Katrina Alexander )
On debut and a trial winner last month, the favourable barrier draw could well be the winning of the race.
Main Danger
1 Unodostrescuatro
F: 33223B(8)W(58.5)
( J-Tayla Mitchell )
( T-Chad Ormsby )
Two seconds at the beginning of the year before being spelled. We know this trainer always has them 'ready to go' when fresh up
Next Best
2 Show Your Ace
F: 32347B(1)W(58.5)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Conor and Sarah Fahy )
Has been well backed in last couple and not far off them. Wasn't at its best in the Heavy last time and rails draw today
Consider
8 Absolutelyfabulous
F: 38223B(13)W(56.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Graham Richardson & Rogan Norvall )
Resumes after 5 weeks and would be more of a confident selection had it drawn better. Craig Grylls may well navigate through that
Longer Odds
15 The Ritz
F: 00448B(9)W(56.0)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Maza rode our Top Pick in all its trials and now rides this one today. That might reap rewards

Dividend : $1.60
Place
F: 20B(8)W(55.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Roger James & Robert Wellwood )
Third start today and overlooking its last run. Went well on debut when coming off a winning trial and well supported in the market
Main Danger
11 Del Inquent
Dividend : $2.90
Place
F: 3227XB(13)W(57.5)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Tony Pike )
Went close a couple of times in its last campaign and unlucky not to win one. So well in here, and comes off a trial win with today's jockey on the reins
Next Best
8 Free Bird
Dividend : $6.00, $2.50
Won
F: 58X67B(12)W(58.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-David Greene )
Third up today and could be found out by the wide draw again. But it's not a strong field and looks capable of winning if overcoming that
Consider
15 Calmthefarm
F: 2B(6)W(55.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Simon & Katrina Alexander )
Maza takes over on this 3yo after having ridden it in its trials. It showcased its potential when on debut 5 weeks ago, going to the line well to be just a length away
Longer Odds
10 Vesphire
F: 24439B(5)W(57.5)
( J-Rihaan Goyaram )
( T-Ralph Manning )
Trainer has two in the race and we think this is his best chance. Well back at Trentham last time but close up in all prior runs

Top Pick
8 Flyhalf
F: 232XB(9)W(56.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Kurtis Pertab )
Having won two trials prior, it was expected this Cody Cole trained runner would register a win in short time, but three runs in its first campaign proved costly for punters. Resuming here and a chance to recover the losses
Main Danger
2 Pure Lotus
Dividend : $1.70
Place
F: 0X336B(4)W(58.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Tony Pike )
Resumes after a 3 month break and Tony Pike and called up Michael McNab to ride. Ran well last time up and that experience can pay dividends today
Next Best
7 Sabatini
Dividend : $8.40, $2.60
Won
F:B(7)W(56.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
In a race with many having winning chances, this Te Akau runner looks a good EW investment on debut, with Craig Grylls in the saddle
Consider
4 Our Lykoi
Dividend : $2.10
Place
F:B(3)W(58.0)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Sophia Nolan and Hanna Orting )
This 3yo has won both its trials, with Maza up, and he rides today. Given its inside gate, it has to be considered a good chance
Longer Odds
12 Kalgarry Ally
F:B(6)W(56.0)
( J-Hayley Hassman )
( T-Darryn & Briar Weatherley )
Surprised this stable doesn't win more because we rate them as trainers. This one is on debut after having won one of its trials

Top Pick
2 Armagh
F: 42X4B(8)W(58.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Danny Walker & Arron Tata )
An Australian import, it had its New Zealand debut at the end of last month and did well to finish close up on a Heavy8. Will be sure to find today's track conditions more suitable and improves with that run under its belt
Main Danger
6 Biding My Time
Dividend : $2.30, $1.40
Won
F: 22XB(11)W(56.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-David Greene )
Another 3yo resuming and, as well as winning two trials prior to its debut in December, both subsequent runs reaped close up seconds. Sure to be winning soon, if not today?
Next Best
13 Bivabelle
F:B(6)W(56.0)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Ken & Bev Kelso )
On debut from a terrific stable and recent trial wins suggest it both has ability but is fit enough to do itself justice
Consider
9 Magic Dreams
F: 824B(9)W(56.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Barbara Kennedy )
Good young trainer that has this one shaping up nicely. Second to talented Thumbelina last time and that one has gone on to win again
Longer Odds
4 Honor The Name
F: 77X43B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Hollie Wynyard )
We weren't at all surprised to see this one as much improved this campaign and it looks the one to boost your multis

Place
F: 61160B(2)W(59.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Roger James & Robert Wellwood )
Resuming after having last run in the listed NZB Kiwi. Resumes here, dropping back significantly in class and has the ability to be winning fresh up
Main Danger
3 Yokozuna
F: 12X5B(5)W(58.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Donna Logan )
Impressed us with its win on debut in July last year, showing a good turn of foot. Resumed from a spell last month a more mature galloper and although it finished off the placegetters, it was well backed and in a Stakes race
Next Best
5 Avantaggia
Dividend : $4.50, $2.20
Won
F: 14X31B(12)W(57.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Clearly an exciting prospect in the Te Akau stable and comes into this on the back of a strong win when taken south to Otaki two weeks ago. It has done well to win two of its five starts now and will be better over time
Consider
6 Quello Dolce
F: 5811XB(4)W(57.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Kurtis Pertab )
Won both of its races in its last campaign and now resumes after a 3 month spell. It has won a trial and seen significant early support in the markets

11 Rumours
F: 66X1B(10)W(54.5)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Darryn & Briar Weatherley )
Two runs last year produced good runs but it was its run when returning in early much that impressed us. Could rise through the grades

Top Pick
Best "Each Way"
11 Party Time
F: 8X17B(7)W(56.5)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Kurtis Pertab )
This looks like an exciting galloper. Won its maiden well when resuming and although it subsequent and last start shows 7th place, it was in fact only 1 3/4 lengths away ... and that was a Stakes race. Has seen strong early market support
Main Danger
1 Smooth Warrior
F: 44172B(1)W(59.5)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Dean Wiles )
This 4yo out of Dean Wiles stable is a bit underrated but good enough to be in the mix. Less than 1 1/2 lengths behind Thumbellina (which Te Akau rate) just a week ago and now on the quick back up
Next Best
12 Tiantai
F: 52X1B(8)W(56.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Ken & Bev Kelso )
Another galloper to put in your 'Black Book'. Impressive win when resuming 4 weeks ago and looks to have plenty of upside
Consider
6 Hot Card
F: 4244XB(4)W(57.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Lance Noble )
Resuming after 3 months and well thought of at home. Last race was against smart King's English and to get within 1 1/2 lengths that day is testimony to its ability

F: 55361B(2)W(59.0)
( J-Rihaan Goyaram )
( T-Nick Kneebone )
Ran to the line well to win its last start in a Heavy8, which isn't its ideal conditions. The third that day has since won
