Trainer travels up from New Plymouth for debut and this partnership with Craig Grylls is formidable. Won its first trial back in February and, given time to mature, was not seen at the trials until a week ago when it won again. Rails draw to advantage

Consider

Won
F: 22B(2)W(57.5)
( J-Joe Nishizuka )
( T-Kylie Fawcett )
Has had a month to mature after two promising runs into second, and that experience should see it break through for its first win today
Main Danger
7 Toss
F: 5B(8)W(57.5)
( J-Ashlee Strawbridge )
( T-Debbie Sweeney )
Lovely first run on the synthetic two weeks ago, having won on the turf before that. 3kg claim helps its chances
Next Best
9 Naulahka
F:B(4)W(57.5)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Tony Pike )
On debut from a stable that has its first starters ready to go, but still surprised to see it so short in the market. That has to be respected though
Consider
2 Miss Parker
Dividend : $1.60
Place
F: 24X40B(9)W(57.5)
( J-Tom Wigram )
( T-Kylie Hoskin )
Trainer also has our Top pick in the race so holds a strong chance, enhanced by this 4kg claimer in the saddle
Longer Odds
10 Our Lady Jade
F:B(1)W(57.5)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Ray Fleming )
If this one surprises them on debut, it won't be the first time that a runner from this trainer has. He gets them ready before race day

Top Pick
Best "Each Way"
4 Sneaky Cyclone
F: 5X643B(3)W(58.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Daniel Miller )
Chappy beat it well enough two back but it has gone on to finish an encouraging third at Te Aroha since then. Can turn that result around at value EW odds
Main Danger
1 Chappy
Dividend : $2.15, $1.26
Won
F: 7X322B(8)W(58.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Beat our Top Pick by 2 3/4 lengths two back and ran nicely in its subsequent run at Matamata. Craig Grylls takes over
Next Best
12 Gracetheace
Dividend : $2.30
Place
F: 9X257B(13)W(56.5)
( J-Erin Leighton )
( T-Gavin Opie )
The key to this one's chances is the booking of Sam Collett. This enthusiastic young trainer has had good success when booking her
Consider
11 Royal Canter
F:B(6)W(58.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Well trialled and now on debut. What is interesting is that Masa has ridden Chappy for this trainer in its recent races and now moves to this one
Longer Odds
2 Kenwood House
F: 22438B(2)W(58.5)
( J-Jack Taplin )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Stephen Marsh runner that ran consistently well on the turf before being raced on the synthetic in its last two. Back on the grass today and favoured with an inside gate

Race 4 - ENTAIN/NZB INSURANCE PEARL SERIES MDN
Time: 1:32 PM | Distance: 1400 m | Prize $ 17000
Top Pick
12 Game Face
F: 6X67B(6)W(57.5)
( J-Tom Wigram )
( T-Kevin Myers )
This young and exciting apprentice is in hot demand and Kevin Myers is in on the act here. This 3yo filly ran well on the Heavy two weeks ago, when resuming, and will go close today
Main Danger
3 Laura
F: 45346B(5)W(57.5)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
2 1/2 lengths behind today's favourite when they met at Te Rapa but with Sam McNab booked and bringing the claim, it's well in to reverse that
Next Best
2 Noble Cabello
Dividend : $2.00, $1.22
Won
F: 45X23B(10)W(57.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Benjamin King )
We were inclined to select this as our Top Pick, given its good young trainer, ongoing progress, and the booking of Craig Grylls. But the wide draw does pose a challenge
Consider
4 Donita Rose
F: 58X85B(10)W(57.5)
( J-Courtney Barnes )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Stephen Marsh runner that is third up today and left us with a good impression at its last run two weeks ago. Improver
Longer Odds
10 Bad Penny
F: 8B(1)W(57.5)
( J-Elen Nicholas )
( T-Kylie Fawcett )
Will come on a lot for its debut run and this Heavy track should be to its liking. Rails draw today

Top Pick
2 Mr Blackjack
F: 00X31B(1)W(59.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Kurtis Pertab )
Both its runs this campaign have been in the CD and it picked up a win there on a Heavy10 last time. That was a commanding win and can go back to back, with Sam being re-united. Rails draw
Main Danger
3 Predominance
F: 66X1XB(10)W(58.5)
( J-Hayley Hassman )
( T-Benjamin King )
Caught punters napping when fresh up here in December. Hasn't been to race day since then but ran a nice trial in may and resumes here, and sure to be well tuned up
Next Best
5 Morning Cocoa
Dividend : $1.90
Place
F: 15246B(7)W(57.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
Wit a win and six seconds from just 16 starts, we know it's pretty capable. Concern is the drop back from middle distance, but it has been freshened so may be sharp enough
Consider
7 Final Reason
F: 661B(2)W(56.5)
( J-Joe Nishizuka )
( T-Rudy Liefting )
Although the second let the form down on the weekend, it has to be considered as all three runs have seen close up finishes, including winning its last start. Inside draw
Longer Odds
8 Marriage Vows
F: X4757B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Hyeontaek Oh )
( T-Les Collins )
We feel it has been running in better classes than this and to see it in the finish today, wouldn't surprise

Race 6 - NZ FARMERS LIVESTOCK HCP 1560
Time: 2:44 PM | Distance: 1560 m | Prize $ 17000
Top Pick
6 Rio Grande
F: X0775B(6)W(59.5)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
Look to this one being better placed in running with George Rooke now on the reins. In track conditions that should be ideal for it, it just needs to go to the line strongly to pick up a much overdue win
Main Danger
8 Bellezor
Dividend : $2.20
Place
F: 9X960B(4)W(58.0)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Paul Richards )
Last run was better than its form-line would indicate and with this good apprentice taking over, look to it finishing in the money
Next Best
3 Sacred Zed
F: 2X952B(11)W(60.0)
( J-Hayley Hassman )
( T-Kevin Myers )
Had a good reputation but disappointed up north, and sent to the Myers stable for him to turn its fortunes around. Is certainly better but there's no value at $2.90, especially with the wide draw to overcome
Consider
5 Horrie
F: 10X08B(1)W(59.5)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Moira & Kieran Murdoch )
Third up today and a galloper that has looked better than average at times
Longer Odds
Best "Roughie"
9 Zolzaya
Dividend : $3.80
Place
F: 0X609B(12)W(58.0)
( J-Jack Taplin )
( T-Kylie Hoskin )
The trainer also runs this 4yo mare, which was only a couple of lengths behind With Grace last time, albeit paying $95

Race 7 - AT COOK CONTRACTING 1560
Time: 3:19 PM | Distance: 1560 m | Prize $ 17000
Top Pick
3 Zanzibar
F: 120X6B(7)W(58.5)
( J-Rihaan Goyaram )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
A small but competitive field and everything should get its chance. But this one draws our attention to its Heavy track record, having won in the Heavy and all four seconds in such conditions. That will be significant at this time of the day
Main Danger
6 Possess
Dividend : $3.50
Place
F: 143X1B(1)W(56.0)
( J-Hayley Hassman )
( T-Kevin Myers )
Kevin Myers looks to have a good prospect in this 4yo, that won its last start when resuming on a Heavy10 at Trentham. Hayley brings the apprentice claim
Next Best
7 Scarlet Temple
Dividend : $4.60, $2.30
Won
F: X3100B(4)W(54.5)
( J-Ashlee Strawbridge )
( T-Debbie Sweeney )
A winner three back, it has come up against stronger fields than this in its two runs since, as well as drawing 11 on both occasions. Better positioned here
Consider
2 Overrated
F: 62316B(5)W(60.0)
( J-Tom Wigram )
( T-Murray Garrett )
Won here two back on a Heavy track and the apprentice of the moment rides today, taking 4kgs off its back
Longer Odds
4 Yolo
F: 680X5B(2)W(58.0)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Kevin Myers )
This Kevin Myers runner is the best of the two 'roughies', but a place looks best over this distance which will be too short for it

Top Pick
7 Timetoplaythegame
F: 8X602B(6)W(57.5)
( J-Rihaan Goyaram )
( T-David Greene )
Unfortunate to be on the wrong side of a tight photo finish last time, it was a good run nonetheless and confirmed its aptitude for Heavy track conditions. That should give it a winning advantage today
Main Danger
9 Lady Impending
F: 5X609B(7)W(57.0)
( J-Wiremu Pinn )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Here's one that could come home at good odds. Has good ability but has only had seven races. Wiremu's only ride today
Next Best
10 Misissipi Gambler
Dividend : $2.00
Place
F: 450X1B(8)W(57.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Ben & Ryan Foote )
A 4yo mare having only its fifth start when resuming at the end of May, it was a dominant winner and had clearly progressed well over its spell as the money was down. On anything other than a Heavy track, it would be our Top Pick
Consider
6 Illustrious
Dividend : $16.00, $4.20
Won
F: 3195XB(11)W(58.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Robbie Patterson )
Hard to overlook this trainer/jockey partnership and in this one, they have a 3yo resuming having won one of its five starts. Just note that it is yet to be proven in these track conditions though, and has drawn an outside gate
Longer Odds
5 Digger
Dividend : $2.60
Place
F: 00X86B(2)W(58.0)
( J-Ashlee Strawbridge )
( T-Darrell Hollinshead )
Has ability as its 2 wins will testify but it is the 19 second and third places that points to its honesty
