Race 1 - WARKWORTH ITM MDN

Time: 11:55 AM | Distance: 1200 m | Prize $ 20000
Top Pick

9 Palombaggia

F: 4   B(3) W(53.5)
( J- Jasmine Fawcett )
( T- Barbara Kennedy )

That close finish behind Back Up The Bus three weeks ago is looking pretty good now, after that one finished third in the Listed Castletown Stakes at Otaki yesterday

Main Danger

7 Watermelon Sugar
Dividend : $2.80, $1.28

Won

F: 3X555   B(4) W(56.5)
( J- George Rooke )
( T- Michelle Bradley )

Home track and has run well in all three runs this campaign. Won't be long in winning one

Next Best

1 Odds And Ends
Dividend : $1.80

Place

F: 0X246   B(7) W(58.5)
( J- Matthew Cameron )
( T- Tony Cole )

Taken to the CD for experience and maturity in its first two runs and wasn't far away when back north and running at Tauranga last time

Consider

4 Big Bold Bob

F: 8X0   B(9) W(58.5)
( J- Samantha Collett )
( T- Mark Brosnan )

Resumed on the back of a winning trial four weeks ago but was never going well. You can expect better this time

Longer Odds

3 Loose Change

F: 5457X   B(6) W(58.5)
( J- Ace Lawson-Carroll )
( T- Moira & Kieran Murdoch )

Resumes after a four month spell. None of the 'roughies' look to have much to offer at this stage so we'll go with a 7yo with experience

Time: 12:28 PM | Distance: 1200 m | Prize $ 20000
Top Pick

6 Withallmygrace
Dividend : $1.50

Place

F: 277X6   B(10) W(56.5)
( J- Masa Hashizume )
( T- Jenna Mahoney )

Has been the market mover since opening and we can understand why as it looked great value at an opening $5.50. Better for run at Ellerslie three weeks ago and Masa takes over, having ridden in a winning trial prior

Main Danger

7 Poise
Dividend : $2.10

Place

F: 03   B(6) W(56.5)
( J- Samantha Collett )
( T- Tony Cole )

Was seen finishing on to good effect at Matamata last time, in only its second start. Improver

Next Best

1 Cadaques

F: 62   B(2) W(58.5)
( J- Sam McNab )
( T- Tony Pike )

Tony Pike runner now ready to be winning. Well drawn and Sam McNab is on the reins again

Consider

Dividend : $6.00, $2.00

Won

F: 46356   B(1) W(58.5)
( J- Hayley Hassman )
( T- Josh King & Maija Vance )

This big grey has looked likely at times but then seems one paced to the line. Hayley rides this time and might get that extra bit out of it. Rails draw

Longer Odds

8 Autumn Heights

F: 8X569   B(8) W(56.5)
( J- Joe Nishizuka )
( T- Mark Brosnan )

Gets the 3kg claim to help its chances today. Wasn't far behind Poise two back

The 'Day's Best'

3 Khaleesi
Dividend : $1.65

Place

F: 115X   B(2) W(56.0)
( J- George Rooke )
( T- Stephen Marsh )

Stephen Marsh runner resuming, after showing a lot of potential when winning its first two starts at the beginning of the year. Then ran That's Gold to 1 3/4 lengths before being spelled. Should be winning on the way to better things

Main Danger

6 Iridescent

F: 9X851   B(5) W(55.0)
( J- Jasmine Fawcett )
( T- Michelle Bradley )

Opened at $6 and that was quickly snapped up, suggested confidence in its chances despite being over a month off race day. Does look progressive

Next Best

2 Scolera
Dividend : $2.30

Place

F: 18X84   B(3) W(57.0)
( J- Samantha Collett )
( T- Jim Collett )

Third up today and looking at the capable ones that beat it last time, you'd have to say it rates a place chance strongly

Consider

1 Nicconi County
Dividend : $8.50, $3.60

Won

F: 09241   B(7) W(59.0)
( J- Hayley Hassman )
( T- J & R Vance )

Was our selection at good odds when it won at Ellerslie three weeks ago and we think its one to follow

Longer Odds

5 Super Rosa

F: 4707X   B(1) W(55.5)
( J- Michael McNab )
( T- Kenny Rae )

Locally trained 4yo mare resuming and Kenny Rae will have it well tuned up. Twice a winner on the track

Time: 1:40 PM | Distance: 1200 m | Prize $ 35000
Top Pick

10 Latoya
Dividend : $3.30, $1.50

Won

F:   B(10) W(55.0)
( J- Jasmine Fawcett )
( T- Ken & Bev Kelso )

It seems that everything that races out of this stable has more than its share of ability and judging by its trial win, this won will be no exception. Just needs to overcome the wide draw

Main Danger

2 Pellargo

F: 45   B(9) W(57.0)
( J- Michael McNab )
( T- Tony Pike )

Finished alongside Palombaggia in what might be a pretty reliable formline race, last time after having shown up well in its only start before. Also needs to overcome wide draw

Next Best

3 Ceasars Palace

F:   B(7) W(57.0)
( J- Masa Hashizume )
( T- Kenny Rae )

Has won two of three trials and particularly impressive in the last just over three weeks ago. This one has been backed down from an opening $21

Consider

8 Urchella
Dividend : $2.80

Place

F: 343X   B(8) W(55.0)
( J- Samantha Collett )
( T- Kenny Rae )

Kenny Rae considered it good enough to take down to the Riccarton festival last November so should be capable at this level. Resumes after 8 month spell

Longer Odds

11 Darci Hunter

F: 7   B(3) W(55.0)
( J- Jack Taplin )
( T- Mark Forbes )

Only two lengths behind Back Of The Bus in only race to date. That's looking like good form now. Inside draw

Top Pick

9 Cheerful Smile

F: 5498X   B(7) W(56.5)
( J- Jasmine Fawcett )
( T- Jenna Mahoney )

15 start maiden having its first run since February but this trainer does have them 'ready to go' fresh up. showed its best form at the end of its last campaign

Main Danger

1 Malleable
Dividend : $2.00

Place

F: X5650   B(3) W(58.5)
( J- Michael McNab )
( T- Ralph Manning )

Going to excuse its last run when finishing last over 2000m at New Plymouth. Has been freshened and with Michael McNab back on the reins, it looks the one to test them

Next Best

3 Beat Of The Sun

F: 4X30   B(11) W(58.5)
( J- Masa Hashizume )
( T- Donna Logan )

Trained on the track and has shown itself to be capable in three runs to date. But wide draw to overcome here

Consider

7 Departure

F: 60   B(5) W(58.5)
( J- Sam McNab )
( T- Donna Logan )

Putting in as open to improvement and a second runner in the race for Donna Logan. Was over five lengths behind Beat The Sun when they met in May but that was 7 weeks ago and there will be improvement

Longer Odds

4 Compulsion
Dividend : $3.70

Place

F: X9854   B(10) W(58.5)
( J- Lynsey Satherley )
( T- Paul Mirabelli )

Main Danger

3 Delz Abeel

F: 58244   B(1) W(58.0)
( J- Michael McNab )
( T- Tony Pike )

Has the form to be contesting the finish here but we note all its three wins have been on the synthetic. But has rails draw and still could win

Next Best

8 Florenza

F: X5110   B(2) W(54.5)
( J- Masa Hashizume )
( T- Patsy Riley )

Has to be a chance on the ability it showed in winning two in March. Given a break after that and again in May

Place

F: 65518   B(7) W(60.0)
( J- Jack Taplin )
( T- Mark Brosnan )

Was a bit disappointing behind the impressive Boxmoss last time but won its race before that. Can bounce back, being a three time winner on the track

Main Danger

Dividend : $5.00, $1.90

Won

F: 00334   B(9) W(58.0)
( J- Hayley Hassman )
( T- W Hillis & R Cole )

Is a genuine and good Open handicapper and comes into this on the back of three good runs. It won't take much improvement for it to be winning

Next Best

8 Just A Karin

F: 40492   B(1) W(54.0)
( J- Jasmine Fawcett )
( T- Allan Morley )

Ran second on the synthetic three weeks ago in what was an improved run. This jockey is riding really well and she rides this track particularly well. Rails draw

Consider

4 Awhina

F: 13590   B(4) W(54.0)
( J- Masa Hashizume )
( T- Nicholas Bishara )

This trainer's runners are always open to a surprise and there's not much depth in this field

F: 71410   B(6) W(54.0)
( J- Sienna Brown )
( T- Stephen Ralph )

Found the wide draw and Heavy track too much last time, after winner two from three prior. Could bounce back in what is not a strong field

3 Beneath The Stars

F: 00X77   B(6) W(57.0)
( J- Hayley Hassman )
( T- Danny Walker & Arron Tata )

A lot of these have been running against each other in their last races and this one is one of them. While it was behind the others, it wasn't far away. Now third up will be fitter

Main Danger

6 Cheeky Devil

F: X0406   B(4) W(56.5)
( J- Joe Nishizuka )
( T- Lauren Brennan )

With the benefit of a better draw today, expect it to be better placed in running, and that will improve its chances

Next Best

1 Ashoka
Dividend : $1.50

Place

F: 62422   B(11) W(60.0)
( J- Sam McNab )
( T- Tony Pike )

Looks the better of the two Tony Pike runners and beat most of these three weeks ago. Wide draw today though

Consider

12 Delorean

F: 7D8X2   B(12) W(55.0)
( J- Jasmine Fawcett )
( T- Kylie Fawcett )

Terrific run by this one when resuming two months ago but hasn't been out since. Hesitant to leave it out

Longer Odds

10 Love The Sort

F: 16X0   B(1) W(56.0)
( J- Joe Doyle )
( T- Shaune Ritchie & Colm Murray )

This one was also behind today's more favoured runners but that was its first run this campaign and will be better today. Rails draw too
