Past Performance

A wide open affair to start the day so it makes sense to defer to the Te Akau stable. Third up today, it has run two tidy races so far
Main Danger
3 Just Jock
F: 84B(2)W(57.5)
( J-Elen Nicholas )
( T-Shaun Phelan )
One of two runners this trainer has in the race and Elen Nicholas has retained the ride. It won two trials prior to raceday and now third up should know what the games about
Next Best
8 Not Usual Moana
Dividend : $9.50, $3.20
Won
F: 56623B(6)W(55.5)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Samantha Logan )
Proving itself to be a very honest galloper, with close up finishes in all races to date. just missed two back
Consider
1 Kenwood House
F: X0722B(1)W(57.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Stephen Marsh has reached out to Craig Grylls this time and on the back of two seconds , and the rails draw to advantage, it is a strong consideration
Longer Odds
Best "Roughie"
13 Rock Catcher
F: 6B(4)W(55.5)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Ben & Ryan Foote )
Taken down to the CD for a soft debut run two weeks ago and was really striding out well when going to the line. Drawn well and improves for that experience

The 'Day's Best'
11 Gin And Bare It
Dividend : $1.70
Place
F: 2B(3)W(56.5)
( J-Joe Nishizuka )
( T-Kylie Fawcett )
A winner of its only trial last month, it ran well on debut and will continue its progress today. Well thought of by trainer and scratched at Tauranga yesterday in preference for this
Main Danger
6 Lumbridge Castle
Dividend : $2.60, $1.28
Won
F:B(7)W(58.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Has won its last two trials and looks a big chance on debut. Has attracted a lot of early money but will be tested by the wide (ish) gate
Next Best
5 Our Lykoi
Dividend : $1.95
Place
F: 37B(4)W(58.5)
( J-Ace Lawson-Carroll )
( T-Sophia Nolan and Hanna Orting )
Looks sure to be contesting the finish here, especially if running up to its debut run when third behind unbeaten Sabatini
Consider
14 The Giggler
F:B(6)W(56.5)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Roger James & Robert Wellwood )
Interesting runner on debut, in that Matt Cartwright rides when generally he is in the saddle for the Stephen Marsh runners
Longer Odds
4 Cowboy
F: X4635B(5)W(58.5)
( J-Bridget Grylls )
( T-Josh King & Maija Vance )
This big white gelding tends to make it tough for itself by getting back early but is a gutsy runner, and with gate 6 likely to give it a chance to run handy, it might muscle it out

Top Pick
6 Lubeck
Dividend : $1.65
Place
F: 63X04B(3)W(56.0)
( J-Tayla Mitchell )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
When second up at Ellerslie two weeks ago, despite the wide draw it kept on to the line to be less than 2 1/2 lengths behind the talented King's English. Drawn well today and definitely this trainer's best chance from his four runners
Main Danger
5 Ruby Rush
F: 73121B(2)W(56.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
The less fancied of this stable's two runners but we think it has good ability and gets better with time. Would probably like further but can sprint well fresh up
Next Best
1 General Menari
Dividend : $2.15, $1.40
Won
F: 53321B(7)W(58.0)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Had some overseas offers earlier in its career but they never eventuated. It has subsequently progressed well and would be rated higher had it not drawn so wide over this short distance
Consider
2 Armagh
F: 2X481B(6)W(57.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Danny Walker & Arron Tata )
Took out its maiden from a wide draw last time, after a good ride by today's jockey. This is a step up
Longer Odds
8 Presence Of Mind
F: X3615B(5)W(55.0)
( J-Hayley Hassman )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Stable apprentice Hayley Husman won on this one two back and is now reunited, after it finished off them last start

Top Pick
Best "Each Way"
5 Beetlegeuse
F: X6681B(9)W(58.0)
( J-Corentin Berge )
( T-Sam Mynott )
Stepped up to middle distance in its last race in the CD and there was no doubt what was going to win when they turned from home. That will have given a great confidence boost
Main Danger
3 Heza Sharp One
Dividend : $4.80, $1.80
Won
F: 0X871B(2)W(59.0)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-G A & D G Rogerson & Clint Isdale )
Got the distance it likes best at Matamata last time and came home a good winner. Matt sticks, which is a strong tip as he has ridden Morning Cocoa in its last couple
Next Best
6 Morning Cocoa
F: X1524B(6)W(57.5)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
You've got to like its chances on the back of its last two runs, when not far away
Consider
1 Bradley
Dividend : $1.65
Place
F: 18772B(5)W(60.0)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Tony Cole )
Tony Cole seems to have this one in good heart again. Sam brings the 2kg claim and he is riding ever so well
Longer Odds
7 Prisca
F: 550X5B(7)W(57.5)
( J-Sienna Brown )
( T-Catherine Cameron )
Nice run when resuming three weeks ago, over a distance too short for it. Look for the improvement over 2200m today

Top Pick
2 Little Bit Of Love
Dividend : $1.60
Place
F: 550X1B(7)W(56.0)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
This stable is really firing well at the moment and it's hard to oppose this one here. It was some effort to win fresh up over 9 months last time and can only be better for the run
Main Danger
4 Uderzo
Dividend : $1.60
Place
F: 57628B(1)W(54.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
This stable also runs this in form 7yo. Don't be put off by its 8th just last week, as it was less than 3 1/2 lengths behind the winner. And given it was just behind El Viento then, and Little Bit Of Love only beat that one by a head, there's not much between them
Next Best
7 Bright Stripes
Dividend : $8.00, $2.40
Won
F: 0X09XB(3)W(54.0)
( J-Hayley Hassman )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Another import from Australia, this one with the Te Akau stable and on its NZ debut today
Consider
6 Super Photon
F: 40830B(5)W(54.0)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Found the opposition a bit tough two weeks ago but there isn't much depth in this field so it could be good for a place
Longer Odds
8 Butterfield
F: 19197B(2)W(54.0)
( J-Sienna Brown )
( T-Patrick McCarten )
Gutsy run to the line last time, to finish less than 3/4 length away after leading for home, last start

Top Pick
2 Charlunga
F: 1B(7)W(59.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Guy Lowry & Leah Zydenbos )
Even though they run at Whanganui today, and this one won its only race there, connections have ventured north for this. It was impressive and looks like it could well go back to back
Main Danger
3 Ever Charm
F: 36542B(14)W(59.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Although its drawn wide out, we're looking to Craig Grylls to weave his magic. Capable and this stable's runners can't be overlooked at the moment
Next Best
8 Getaway
Dividend : $2.45
Place
F: 14B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Kurtis Pertab )
Won on debut two back before being stepped up to Stakes company, where it was only 2 1/2 lengths away. Back in its grade today
Consider
5 To The Max
F: 15X65B(9)W(59.0)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Roger James & Robert Wellwood )
Has been running in arguably better races than this recently and can be a chance with the rightly run race. just needs to overcome the wide draw
Longer Odds
1 Mineshaft
F: 490X9B(5)W(59.5)
( J-Joe Nishizuka )
( T-Pam Gerard )
Although its only won 3 from 23 races, it has certainly been a big chance in many of its other races. Second run this campaign today

Top Pick
9 Topsy Turvy
F: 0X1B(11)W(57.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Lauren Brennan )
Returned from a 7 month spell last time a significantly more mature filly and there was no doubt in running that this one was going to win. Even though its drawn gate 12, it might be a bit special and can overcome it
Main Danger
6 Kia Kaha
Dividend : $8.00, $2.40
Won
F: 2302XB(7)W(58.0)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Stephen Marsh 4yo resuming after a 4 month spell and looked well forward when winning its trial to prepare. Matt takes the reins and brings the experience
Next Best
3 Purosangue
F: 521B(10)W(59.0)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Has to be in the first three on what we've seen so far. Hasn't stopped improving since winning a trial and the clearing maidens earlier this month, and it won't have stopped yet. Wide draw the challenge today
Consider
4 Whistler
F: 85X1B(6)W(59.0)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Last start winner showing good potential and from a stable in form
Longer Odds
7 Lady Impending
F: 195X6B(2)W(58.0)
( J-Tayla Mitchell )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
This Stephen Marsh 4yo looks some value at these odds, now dropping back to R65 after finishing behind a good Australian import in a R75 last time

F: 2418XB(10)W(55.5)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Jim Collett )
Jim Collett thinks very highly of this 4yo, returning from a short freshener. Looked good winning a trial late last month
Main Danger
1 Reptak
F: 5125XB(3)W(59.0)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
A 6yo with only the 14 runs but has been good enough to win three of them. Chance to add to the tally here
Next Best
11 Live On Air
F: 10542B(9)W(54.5)
( J-Joe Nishizuka )
( T-Danica Guy )
This mare has been close up in all of its last five races and may find itself in the finish here again today
Consider
4 She's All That
F: 43815B(13)W(57.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Drawn wide but these odds are too generous to not take a chance that Craig Grylls can overcome that

Dividend : $21.00, $5.00
Won
F: 4425XB(6)W(54.5)
( J-Ace Lawson-Carroll )
( T-Barbara Kennedy )
This young South African trainer has a good win strike rate and interested to note she has booked this capable apprentice, who brings a 1kg claim
