Past Performance
These are our selections for this particular meeting - and an indication of 'how we performed'. It will also give you an insight as to what to expect when you subscribe to our service.
Te Akau regularly sends their 2yo's down to this meeting, when on debut. They have a good strike rate and this can add to that
Main Danger
3 Old Fashioned
Dividend : $3.60, $1.90
Won
F:B(3)W(57.0)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Bill Thurlow and Sam O’Malley )
Trained at Waverley, north of here, and has seen a lot of early support. No doubt that's on the basis of the ability it showed when winning its only trial by 5 lengths
Next Best
1 Furston
Dividend : $2.00
Place
F: 43B(5)W(57.0)
( J-Kavish Chowdhoory )

Consider
2 Mr Chow
F: 7X95B(4)W(57.0)
( J-Jonathan Riddell )
( T-Kurtis Pertab )
Third up this campaign and less than two lengths from the winner at Hawera last time
Longer Odds
6 Crime Of Passion
F:B(1)W(55.0)
( J-Mereana Hudson )
( T-Lisa Latta )
On debut and comes into this on the back of three trials. Rails draw to advantage
Three runs in first campaign with two good seconds over this distance. Resumes and that form will be good enough to win this
Main Danger
9 Shochita
F: 2B(6)W(56.5)
( J-Floor Moerman )
( T-Kevin Myers )
Very promising run in only start to date in April. On home track now and looks certain to be in the money

Dividend : $1.65
Place
F: 54324B(1)W(58.5)
( J-Kavish Chowdhoory )
( T-Matt Dixon )
No depth in this field at all and this one looks the best of the rest. Rails draw
Consider
5 Popinjay
F: 258X3B(8)W(58.5)
( J-Toni Davies )
( T-Mike Breslin )
Two placings from 7 starts and could run one again. Comes off the synthetic
Longer Odds

F: 482X8B(3)W(56.5)
( J-Leah Hemi )
( T-Caitlin Johnson )
Heavy track wasn't ideal last time so not a bad run in the circumstances

( J-Floor Moerman )
( T-Kevin Myers )
Local trainer has made good progress with this runner, as he always does, and not expected to be far away

( J-Kavish Chowdhoory )
( T-Bill Thurlow and Sam O’Malley )
4yo with just the two runs but they have been respectable. Resumes after 6 months so place might be best

Top Pick
The 'Day's Best'
2 Prince Of Diamonds
F: 231B(5)W(59.0)
( J-Chris Dell )
( T-Janelle Millar )
Interesting that this good New Plymouth trainer bypassed a meeting on her home track yesterday for this race. Won nicely at only its third start three weeks ago and looks the type to rise through the grades
Main Danger
3 Capaci
Dividend : $3.30, $1.55
Won
F: X8373B(4)W(57.5)
( J-Jack Taplin )
( T-Robbie Patterson )
Won on debut last campaign before running well in a Stakes race. Last start this time up was also in a Stakes race so clearly well thought of
Next Best
7 Trafalgar
F: 100B(13)W(57.5)
( J-Leah Hemi )
( T-Tony Cole )
Won on debut in March and has been up against good fields up north since. Just needs to overcome wide draw
Consider
5 Outer Focus
F: 26072B(6)W(57.5)
( J-Floor Moerman )
( T-Kevin Myers )
Another Kevin Myers runner and came off a winning trial to be beaten just a length whenn resuming. Fresh up again but rates a chance
Longer Odds
4 Four Square Pete
F: X040XB(1)W(57.5)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Kevin Myers )
First run since December but this local trainer will have it ready, having trialled it three times. Expect an improved galloper this time up. Rails draw today

Top Pick
1 Skattebo
F: 411B(5)W(58.0)
( J-Chris Dell )
( T-Janelle Millar )
This trainer/jockey partnership is proving to be a formidable one in the CD and, although not winning by much, this 3yo is answering everything asked of it. Might well win another Stakes race here
Main Danger
11 Flyhalf
F: 2X531B(6)W(55.0)
( J-Leah Hemi )
( T-Tony Cole )
Has been well thought of from its first start but took 6 starts to break through last time. That was impressive though
Next Best
5 Roc All Night
Dividend : $1.80
Place
F: 212B(1)W(57.0)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Robbie Patterson )
This trainer is a pretty good judge and doesn't normally advance his runners to Stakes company so early in their career. The fact he did with this one suggests it will be up to it. Rails draw to advantage
Consider
2 Midnight Train
F: 13222B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Floor Moerman )
( T-Ralph Manning )
Honest and within 1/2 length of the winner in 4 of last 5 starts. Gets every chance to get a deserved win here today from gate 2
Longer Odds
6 Bella's Boy
F: 784X2B(3)W(57.0)
( J-Liam Kauri )
( T-Ralph Manning )
When this in-form trainer brings one south, you know it's a winning chance. Not a bad 'second runner' to have in the field

2 Mr Mojo Risin'
Dividend : $3.10, $1.80
Won
F: 3X019B(2)W(59.0)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
A winner of over $275k, it certainly has the ability to wining this and is a past course winner. Kelly Myers won on it two back and will like her chances, back in Open company again
Main Danger
4 Our Jumala
Dividend : $1.80
Place
F: 22972B(5)W(57.0)
( J-Jack Taplin )
( T-Robbie Patterson )
This 7yo also represents a bit of class, having won over $330k. Having said that, it's not really fulfilled its early promise but the signs were good last time, when it just missed
Next Best
1 Belardo Boy
F: 58X20B(4)W(62.0)
( J-Hayley Hassman )
( T-Lisa Latta )
And this 7yo has won 11 races and $468K. How could you leave it out of your thinking here, with Te Akau's talented apprentice bringing the 2kg claim too
Consider
3 Turn The Ace
Dividend : $4.00
Place
F: 6298XB(6)W(58.5)
( J-Liam Kauri )
( T-Suzy Gordon )
This trainer continues to produce the winners and, judging by its trial win, will be well prepared to return today
Longer Odds
5 Urenui
F: 2329XB(7)W(54.5)
( J-Kavish Chowdhoory )
( T-Debbie Harris )
Will clearly want further but could sprint well fresh, as it showed in winning a trial to prepare

Best "Each Way"
6 Benerro
Dividend : $2.35
Place
F: 53171B(3)W(56.5)
( J-Leah Hemi )
( T-Tony Cole )
A race of many chances so it seems prudent to go with something with good current form. Progressive, it has only had the 5 races and has two of its last three. Inside gate and local jockey remains in the saddle
Main Danger
2 Cypress
F: 1153XB(8)W(59.0)
( J-Floor Moerman )
( T-Kevin Myers )
A winner of three of its 8 races, local trainer looks to have it spot on to resume after 9 months away from race day, having won two trials to prepare
Next Best
5 Im Bartholomew
F: X11X2B(13)W(57.5)
( J-Mereana Hudson )
( T-Tony Dravitzki )
Hard to think this import won't be there at the business end. Two wins and a second from 3 runs in NZ and we note it's been backed down from an opening $12
Consider
8 Beauesk
Dividend : $7.00, $2.60
Won
F: 12275B(5)W(56.0)
( J-Jack Taplin )
( T-Robbie Patterson )
Does look to be Robbie Paterson's best chance in the race and was only 3/4 length behind I'm Bartholomew three weeks ago
Longer Odds
3 Bella Timing
F: 6110XB(6)W(57.5)
( J-Jonathan Riddell )
( T-Allan Sharrock )
Has good ability and should run well fresh

5 Cheval de Foudre
Dividend : $1.45
Place
F: 4X322B(6)W(54.0)
( J-Chris Dell )
( T-Mark Oulaghan )
Has been doing everything but win this campaign and we note Chris Dell sticks, despite normally riding for Janelle Millar, who has one in the race. Up to preferred distance today
Main Danger
1 Khafre
F: 34772B(2)W(61.0)
( J-Floor Moerman )
( T-Ralph Manning )
Trainer has two in the race and this one is the value at these odds, as well as having beaten its stablemate by 3/4 length in their last start. Has won 4 times on this track
Next Best
2 Nigella Lane
F: 11753B(1)W(60.5)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Ralph Manning )
Third up this campaign today, has drawn the rails, and only 3/4 length behind stablemate two weeks ago. Up in distance should suit
Consider
7 Ayteem
F: 10492B(7)W(54.0)
( J-Kavish Chowdhoory )
( T-Janelle Millar )
2000m will be its best distance this season and it could be a very good handicapper
Longer Odds
3 Kopua
F: 73760B(8)W(54.0)
( J-Hayley Hassman )
( T-Kevin Myers )
Kevin Myers is an astute trainer and he has this one on the quick back up, after it ran 3 days ago at Trentham

1 Atavus
Dividend : $2.50, $1.35
Won
F: 4X312B(10)W(60.0)
( J-Leah Hemi )
( T-Tony Cole )
This 5yo has been given time and it's now producing the benefits. Stepped up to 2100m last time at Ellerslie, after winning its maiden prior, it was impressive in running second
Main Danger
4 Unusual Cortez
F: 18B(7)W(59.0)
( J-Madan Singh )
( T-Fraser Auret )
A winner on debut, it looks to have a lot of ability and after not being far away last time, now steps up to middle distance
Next Best
10 Ocean Melody
Dividend : $2.20
Place
F: 63134B(6)W(57.0)
( J-Hayley Hassman )
( T-Lisa Latta )
Wasn't far away here last start, having won here three back. Hayley Hassman takes over and brings the 2kg claim
Consider
2 Dancing Fantail
F: 03412B(9)W(59.0)
( J-Liam Kauri )
( T-John Kiernan & Charlotte Fulford )
Given its improved form recently, it comes into this at good odds, and one that can boost your multis
Longer Odds
6 Tukituki
F: 090X2B(14)W(58.5)
( J-Kavish Chowdhoory )
( T-Carl Taylor )
Unlucky to have drawn so wide as we really liked its run into second when resuming
