Main Danger
1 Colgate
F: 27B(6)W(58.5)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Shaun & Emma Clotworthy )
Nearly caused a huge upset on debut when beaten in a tight photo finish. Although it didn't go on with it last time, it's worth sticking with
Next Best
3 Afore Ye Go
Dividend : $3.40, $1.55
Won
F: 76B(9)W(58.5)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-John Bell )
Third up today and comes into this after a much improved run last start here a month ago. Might find the wide draw a challenge
Consider
2 Janka
Dividend : $2.45
Place
F: 8X473B(10)W(58.5)
( J-Erin Leighton )
( T-Shelley Wright )
An 8yo and still a maiden after 22 runs. But, interestingly, its two best runs to date have been in its last three starts
Longer Odds
Best "Roughie"
9 Outrageous
F: 09703B(8)W(56.5)
( J-Ace Lawson-Carroll )
( T-Moira & Kieran Murdoch )
Stepped up to 2100m here for the first time a month ago and it was only just over 1/2 length away at $43. Not getting those odds today but the EW odds look inviting

Next Best
4 Afterglo
F: X4512B(7)W(55.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Stephen Autridge )
Has shaped up nicely as a 5yo this campaign and shouldn't be far away. Course winner and stepping up in distance
Consider

Dividend : $2.40
Place
F: 0X644B(8)W(58.5)
( J-Jonathan Riddell )

Dividend : $1.60
Place
F: X8953B(5)W(54.0)
( J-Elen Nicholas )
( T-Shaun Phelan )

2 Kahului
Dividend : $9.00, $3.00
Won
F: 25B(10)W(58.5)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
On what we've seen in its two runs to date, it's capable of putting this field away. Stephen Marsh has found a good opportunity for it here and puts Matt on the reins
Main Danger
10 Kalgarry Ally
Dividend : $2.40
Place
F: 9032B(9)W(56.5)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Darryn & Briar Weatherley )
Sam Collett is riding really well at the moment and had another couple of winners. This one was unlucky to lose out in the photo last start and might add another for Sam today
Next Best
6 Dragonstone
Dividend : $2.90
Place
F: 0556B(2)W(58.5)
( J-Erin Leighton )
( T-Donna Logan )
Only the four runs to date and trainer Donna Logan has it heading in the right direction. Nicely drawn
Consider
4 Aim Up
F: 064B(8)W(58.5)
( J-Hayley Hassman )
( T-Darrel Lang )
Was a trial winner before going to race day so the ability is there. Has shown excellent form in its last two races and now at peak fitness
Longer Odds
14 Little Orchid
F: 9954B(5)W(54.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
On a line through a few of the other runners here, this one's odds look very generous and it rates a strong chance
A last start winner on its home track of New Plymouth and the trainer has secured the services of Tom Wigram. The 3kg claim can see it home
Main Danger
1 Little Bit Of Love
Dividend : $1.70
Place
F: 13222B(5)W(60.0)
( J-Joe Nishizuka )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
A win would be well deserved as it is the form runner but the drop back to 1200m is the concern for us, although it does have the rails draw
Next Best
3 Gospodin
F: 53430B(4)W(56.0)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Jim Pender )
An 8 race winner as well as 14 times in a place testifies to the honesty of this 9yo and it will be sure to run well here again, where it has won three times
Consider
4 Caitlyns Wish
F: X0645B(1)W(54.0)
( J-Cooper Stumbles )
( T-Stephen Autridge )
On the quick back up and could run into a place in a field with little depth
Longer Odds
2 Dusty Road
Dividend : $7.00, $3.00
Won
F: X0978B(6)W(56.5)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Graeme Cameron )
Has won a trial here since it last raced and might bounce back

Top Pick
Best "Each Way"
7 Miss Anna Lee
Dividend : $7.50, $2.60
Won
F: 221X4B(12)W(57.0)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Peter Lock )
Taken to the CD for its resuming run and it finished on well to be less than 2 1/2 lengths away. This is an open field and with Masa now on the reins, it can take it out
Main Danger
4 Capote
F: X3341B(5)W(58.5)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Brent Gillovic )
Broke through for its maiden win last time, with a commanding performance, and is a galloper that looks to have upside
Next Best
9 Girlzgirlzgirlz
Dividend : $3.80
Place
F: 410B(2)W(56.5)
( J-Tom Wigram )
( T-Donna Logan )
Despite coming out of gate 11 two back, it won with plenty in hand. That was a Heavy9 and it was never in contention on the firm track at Ruakaka subsequently. Back to a Heavy9 today and Tom Ingram brings the 3kg claim again
Consider
5 Deep Pursuit
F: 2177XB(8)W(58.0)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Tony Pike )
Lightly raced 7yo resuming from the Tony Pike stable. It has won a trial to prepare
Longer Odds
11 Illuminated Miss
F: X3526B(11)W(55.0)
( J-Joe Nishizuka )
( T-Karyn McQuade )
Just missed here two back. The third that day subsequently went on to beat it 6 1/2 lengths so it clearly wasn't right. Can bounce back here

Time: 3:11 PM | Distance: 1400 m | Prize $ 35000
Top Pick
3 Rocking
F: X8913B(2)W(57.5)
( J-Tom Wigram )
( T-Donna Logan )
Trainer holds this 5yo in high regard and its on the quick back up from what we thought was a disappointing run last week. Stable apprentice is re-united and the 3kg claim adds to its chances
Main Danger
6 Khaleesi
F: 115X3B(9)W(55.0)
( J-Kyle Wilson-Taylor )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
A winner of its first two (of three) races last campaign, it resumed from a break to finish a close up third to Nicconi County last month and wasn't far away. That one has since franked the form
Next Best
8 Miss Understood
Dividend : $4.40, $1.70
Won
F: 70X21B(6)W(54.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Ralph Manning )
Did it well when winning a R65 at Otaki last start and gets in well here at the weights. Michael McNab sticks
Consider
4 Sense Of Timing
F: X0435B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Hayley Hassman )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Don't write this one's chances off as Te Akau get them right for these sort of races
Longer Odds
2 Ribkraka
Dividend : $3.20
Place
F: 63915B(5)W(59.5)
( J-Erin Leighton )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Excuse its last start in what was a competitive field. Was a winner of a R75 prior

Race 7 - MILAN PARK MILE HCP
Time: 3:45 PM | Distance: 1600 m | Prize $ 40000
Top Pick
3 Rudyard
Dividend : $3.60
Place
F: 63602B(3)W(55.0)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )
( T-Diana Kennedy )
A review of this one's recent starts suggests it could win this with the right run. It has been going so much better at the 1600m and was only 1 1/2 lengths away when following Astoria Brooke home a month ago
Main Danger
1 Uderzo
F: 21743B(7)W(60.0)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Just over 1/2 length behind Rudyard a month ago, it has the advantage of another run since
Next Best
2 Astoria Brooke
Dividend : $3.80, $2.10
Won
F: 44610B(5)W(55.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Tony Pike )
We think there's no doubt this one wins if it puts its best foot forward today but it is hard to overlook its run at New Plymouth last start
Consider
5 Amira D'Argento
F: 54932B(6)W(54.0)
( J-Joe Nishizuka )
( T-Taui Johnson )
As been placed alongside others in this race recently and that puts it in as a contender
Longer Odds
7 Principled
F: X0186B(2)W(54.0)
( J-Tom Wigram )
( T-Paul Richards )
Has won four races and that's from only 16 starts. This tougher but might be a bit underrated

Top Pick
8 Vito
Dividend : $9.50, $3.10
Won
F: X7361B(4)W(59.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Darryn & Briar Weatherley )
Has been thereabouts in all its recent races so deserved its maiden victory here, over this distance, two weeks ago. Stable doesn't run many but when they do, they're likely to be in contention
Main Danger
5 Drommy
Dividend : $2.50
Place
F: 4X315B(5)W(59.0)
( J-Jonathan Riddell )
( T-Ben & Ryan Foote )
Impressed when winning its maiden two back. Excuse last run when in a strong conditions race; this easier
Next Best
9 Misissipi Gambler
Dividend : $2.05
Place
F: 0X124B(8)W(58.0)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Ben & Ryan Foote )
A 5yo that's run really well in all its three races this campaign. Although fourth last start, it was only a neck from the winner
Consider
1 Indian Gold
F: 6X953B(3)W(60.0)
( J-Tom Wigram )
( T-Allan Sharrock )
Worth a closer look as it dropped back from a R75 last start and that duly brought a third placed finish. Up from New Plymouth and in a R65 again today
Longer Odds
6 Ever Charm
F: 26320B(7)W(59.0)
( J-Cooper Stumbles )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
From a good stable and capable enough to be in the finish here, we note connections have gone for the 4kg claimer today. That helps
