  F: 648X7   B(7)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Kelly Myers )

   ( T- Allan Sharrock )

   ( J- Kavish Chowdhoory )

   ( J- Chris Dell )

   ( T- Peter Lock )

  Trainer has been a bit quiet lately but he has had a winner on both of the last two days and this one could add to that. Brings good form south from its last race at Matamata.

  Main Danger

  

  13 Desert Jewel  

  F: 565   B(2)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Rihaan Goyaram )

  F: 8X2   B(12)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Kavish Chowdhoory )

  Consider

  F: 3X262   B(4)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Leah Hemi )

  Dividend : $2.80

  Place

  F: X5X1X   B(6)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Leah Hemi )

   ( T- Peter Lock )

  This 4yo could be pretty smart, certainly good enough to be winning this R65. Left a good impression when winning its only race last time up, today it will be more mature and winning trial suggests its ready to go

  Main Danger

  

  5 Great Escape  

  Dividend : $3.00, $1.50

  Won

  F: 22X23   B(3)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Kelly Myers )

   ( T- Kevin & Stephen Gray )

  How could you not rate this mare's chances. Third up today and just beaten in both runs this campaign

  Dividend : $2.05

  Place

  F: 985X2   B(9)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Toni Davies )

   ( T- Kevin & Stephen Gray )

  The Gray stable also run this 4yo, which is clearly in good heart, having won a trial since finishing close up when resuming at whanganui

  Consider

  

  9 High Noon  

  F: 31   B(2)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Floor Moerman )

   ( T- Bill Thurlow and Sam O’Malley )

  Locally trained and comes into this after finishing strongly to get up and win two weeks ago despite the wide draw, at only its second start. Inside gate today

  13 Our Sassie Anne  

  F: 78X35   B(7)  W(54.5)

   ( J- Kavish Chowdhoory )

   ( T- Erin Hocquard )

  4 Im Bartholomew  

  F: 11X25   B(11)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Hyeontaek Oh )

   ( T- Tony Dravitzki )

  Australian import that won its first two races in New Zealand last campaign. Has run well in both races this campaign and now third up, it should be approaching peak fitness. Capable apprentice brings the 4kg claim

  Main Danger

  

  1 Beauesk  

  Dividend : $1.95

  Place

  F: 22751   B(8)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Jim Chung )

   ( T- Robbie Patterson )

  This one has always had a bit of a reputation and stays in this grade after winning last start. Beaten by our Top Pick two back, it got the better of it last time but meets it on 7.5kg better terms today

  Next Best

  

  8 Cremant  

  Dividend : $4.50, $1.85

  Won

  F: 71372   B(4)  W(55.5)

   ( J- Amber Riddell )

   ( T- Lisa Latta )

  Dropped back to R75 last time, after two runs in Stakes races, and was unlucky to have the tight photo finish go against it. When this trainer calls up Amber, you know they think it's a winning chance

  Consider

  

  11 Testing  

  F: 7660X   B(5)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Toni Davies )

   ( T- Roydon Bergerson )

  After opening at $16, that was quickly snapped up. Although its having its first run for 7 months, it went well when winning a trial in May

  Longer Odds

  

  2 Cypress  

  F: 153X0   B(9)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Leah Hemi )

   ( T- Kevin Myers )

  3 Force Of Nature  

  F: 0X450   B(7)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Kelly Myers )

   ( T- Andrew Forsman )

  Although out of the money in three starts this campaign, it has been in behind them on each occasion. They were all opens in the north so this easier

  Main Danger

  

  2 Turn The Ace  

  Dividend : $3.30

  Place

  F: 298X2   B(5)  W(59.5)

   ( J- Liam Kauri )

  F: X1115   B(6)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Amber Riddell )

   ( T- Shane Crawford )

  Rose quickly through the grades this campaign, winning its first 3 races but then found it tougher going when up to Open class. Stable in form and must rate strongly

  Consider

  

  6 Wire Rope  

  F: 126X4   B(4)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Toni Davies )

   ( T- Bill Thurlow and Sam O’Malley )

  Locally trained and looks to have good potential. But surprised to see it so short in the market, given it's been running in R75s

  4 Donnybrook  

  F: 90103   B(7)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Toni Davies )

   ( T- Mike Breslin )

  Considering it ran so well when close up last start, we're surprised to see it drift out to $8. Is good EW value at that

  Main Danger

  

  1 Tisse  

  F: 0X031   B(8)  W(60.0)

   ( J- Kelly Myers )

   ( T- Allan Sharrock )

  Taken north to Te Rapa three weeks ago and got the job done at good odds. That was over 1600m but step up to 2200m today should be fine

  9 Stella Success  

  F: 19X71   B(4)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Madan Singh )

  4yo mare with just the 9 starts and has won three of them. Stepped up this preferred distance and just won, but will have taken improvement

  Consider

  

  6 Pick Of The Litter  

  F: 69X41   B(2)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Floor Moerman )

   ( T- Peter Lock )

  Dominant win at Te Aroha last time and if running up to that, has to be in contention. Stable runners are starting to fire again

  2 Can Do  

  F: 84X34   B(4)  W(59.5)

   ( J- Jonathan Riddell )

   ( T- Peter and Trent Didham )

  This stable often travels north with their runners and this one was a case of that last start. Just 1 1/2 lengths away, at $41, at Ellerslie two weeks ago, a repeat of that run wins this

  Main Danger

  

  10 Summer Breeze  

  F: 09X00   B(3)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Kavish Chowdhoory )

   ( T- Tawhiti Hina )

  Not a strong field so this one, third up, can be there at the business end. Course, distance winner in the past

  11 Berry Brown  

  F: 10X73   B(6)  W(56.5)

  Dividend : $3.10

  Place

  F: 00X12   B(9)  W(60.0)

  Dividend : $1.75

  Place

  F: 14X22   B(7)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Chris Dell )

   ( T- Peter Lock )

  Two wins and two seconds from just five starts, this one has the potential to rise through the grades. Beaten by the draw last time and has won both races on a Soft track, which it gets today

  Main Danger

  

  3 Orson Stone  

  F: 63421   B(4)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Kelly Myers )

   ( T- Andrew Forsman )

  A winner in a conditions race at Ellerslie two weeks ago, it is one of three good chances Andrew Forsman brings to the meeting. Deserves its 'favourite' tag for the race
