Place

F:   B(4) W(58.5)
( J- Lily Sutherland )
( T- Kevin Myers )

Has won the last two of four trials. When a Kevin Myers runners opens up favourite on debut, it's folly to oppose

Main Danger

( J- Leah Hemi )
( T- Kevin Myers )

Kevin Myers also runs this one, having placed third in one of its three starts

1 Janka

F: 47330   B(5) W(58.5)
( J- Jonathan Riddell )
( T- Shelley Wright )

Down from the north and back up to 2000m will suit, after finding the 1600m too short last time

Won

F: 22   B(1) W(58.5)
( J- Tom Wigram )
( T- Robbie Patterson )

Locally trained that won both its trials prior to a nice debut run at Rotorua, beaten just 1/2 length. We were surprised it was beaten when on its home track last time but can redeem itself today with 3kg claim and rails draw

Main Danger

8 One Bold Floozie

F: 43262   B(2) W(56.5)
( J- Kelly Myers )
( T- Robbie Patterson )

Trainer has three in the race. He has been campaigning this one in the north and now gets its chance at its home track, with the Heavy10 likely to suit

Next Best

2 Facilitate

F: X5302   B(9) W(58.5)
( J- Leah Hemi )
( T- Karen Nicholson )

You had to like its run here three weeks ago after it led but kept on strongly to the line to be just 1/2 length away. Wide draw to overcome

Consider

Place

F: 2370X   B(5) W(56.5)
( J- Jim Chung )
( T- Robbie Patterson )

Resumes after six months after running in the Oaks at its last start. Class will take it a long way here

Dividend : $1.60

Place

F: 2123   B(2) W(60.0)
( J- Kelly Myers )
( T- Robbie Patterson )

A win and three placings from its four starts, it has fitness on its side after being beaten just a 1/2 length in a Stakes race last time

Main Danger

8 Laura's Legacy
Dividend : $2.70, $1.55

Won

F: 3095X   B(8) W(56.5)
( J- Ashlee Strawbridge )
( T- Janelle Millar )

Resuming. Like our Top Pick, it looks to have more ability than the others, and its performances on Soft tracks suggest it will handle the Heavy today OK.

Next Best

10 Luminance

F: 92523   B(1) W(55.5)
( J- Hayley Hassman )
( T- Kurtis Pertab )

Down from the north after running well in recent races. We know it handles the Heavy stuff. Rails draw

Dividend : $3.00

Place

F: 223X3   B(6) W(58.0)
( J- Kavish Chowdhoory )

2 Heavy Is The Crown

F: 56361   B(5) W(58.5)
( J- Lemmy Douglas )
( T- Carl Henderson )

Came off the synthetic to win here on the turf three weeks ago, in an improved effort. Could go on with it

2 Circus Dancer
Dividend : $5.00, $2.50

Won

F: 8713X   B(3) W(58.0)
( J- Leah Hemi )
( T- Cody Cole )

Only has to be fit to be winning, on what its done so far and, now that Cody Cole is back training, you can expect it will be. He has always had a good strike rate with fresh up runners

Main Danger

4 Thorax
Dividend : $2.45

Place

F: 1287X   B(7) W(57.0)
( J- Jim Chung )
( T- Robbie Patterson )

If there's one to beat the favourite, it could be this locally trained galloper resuming. Has shown a lot of promise in its five starts to date and will have matured considerably in its 7 month spell

Next Best

5 Our Akashinga
Dividend : $3.10

Place

F: 5X221   B(1) W(56.5)
( J- Toni Davies )
( T- Kevin & Stephen Gray )

Won last start and is progressing nicely

Consider

3 Im Bartholomew

F: X2554   B(6) W(58.0)
( J- Lily Sutherland )
( T- Tony Dravitzki )

This former import looked good in its first few races here in its last campaign and we thought it might rise through the grdes. But, although not far away, it hasn't won in four starts back

Longer Odds

1 Steal My Thunder

F: 6468X   B(5) W(59.0)
( J- Lemmy Douglas )
( T- Bill Thurlow )

The class of the race and will be looking for further. However, fresh up from a 5 month spell, don't be surprised if it runs a big race

Race 5 - MAKITA HCP

Time: 2:35 PM | Distance: 1400 m | Prize $ 50000
Top Pick

3 Riverplate
Dividend : $1.75

Place

F: 62140   B(3) W(57.0)
( J- Toni Davies )
( T- Andrew Campbell )

Given a 'fitness' run when no chance behind Alabama Lass last start by this astute trainer. That should have sharpened it up nicely for this

Main Danger

12 Cremant

F: 72124   B(11) W(54.0)
( J- Amber Riddell )
( T- Lisa Latta )

With scratchings, gets an improved draw and we understand the trainer has got good respect for this 4yo mare

Next Best

8 Wire Rope
Dividend : $2.10

Place

F: 46513   B(12) W(54.0)
( J- Sarah Macnab )
( T- Bill Thurlow )

Two terrific runs in competitive fields at the Riccarton meeting, and isn't Sarah riding so well since her return

Consider

4 Chajaba

F: 76333   B(5) W(55.5)
( J- Chris Dell )
( T- Tina Egan )

10yo now but it keeps putting in the good runs

Longer Odds
Best "Roughie"

2 Turn The Ace

F: 22295   B(6) W(58.0)
( J- Jonathan Riddell )
( T- Suzy Gordon )

Nine wins and 10 placings says in all about this Suzy Gordon trained runner. Clearly has the ability to be winning and up to 1400m ideal

Top Pick
Best "Each Way"

2 Yolo

F: 576P3   B(4) W(58.5)
( J- Lily Sutherland )
( T- Kevin Myers )

Stamina is the name of the game over this annual contest and who better to prepare a runner for that than Kevin Myers. Terrific preparatory run on its home track last time

Main Danger

4 Monroe

F: 96511   B(14) W(58.0)
( J- Hayley Hassman )
( T- Paul Nelson & Corrina McDougal )

Just the five runs and it has progressed to win its last two. Beat Paper romance two back and that one bolted in during the week

Next Best

9 Ziggy Khan

F: 22124   B(5) W(55.0)
( J- Kelly Myers )
( T- Nicole Sinclair )

This 7yo mare looks like it will run out the distance well and on that basis, it has to be a chance. Just note it is going up a grade though

Consider

1 Affordable

F: 0151F   B(1) W(59.0)
( J- Jonathan Riddell )
( T- Jo Rathbone )

Has been running over the jumps but has seen a lot of money and chances certainly can't be dismissed

Longer Odds

10 Leprekhan

F: 81L61   B(7) W(54.0)
( J- Kavish Chowdhoory )
( T- Niall Quinn )

This trainer has been in terrific form with his runners and this galloper will have plenty of stamina, having won a hurdle race in June. Won a flat race two weeks ago on a Heavy track

Top Pick

14 Hi Yo Fox Rox

F: 0151   B(9) W(54.0)
( J- Hayley Hassman )
( T- Kim Reid )

Has been heavily backed after opening at $6 earlier in the week, and you can understand why. Did it with plenty in hand when resuming here three weeks ago, and looks like a galloper to rise quickly through the grades

Main Danger

13 Bak de Ace

F: 4X121   B(5) W(54.0)
( J- Kelly Myers )
( T- Jo Rathbone )

Bounced back from defeat on the first day of the Riccarton Festival meeting last month to dominate on the last day. Has won a trial since to prepare

Next Best

12 Rosesrred

F: 05151   B(2) W(54.0)
( J- Amber Riddell )
( T- Tracey Bliss )

Local that has won two of its last three and is now on the quick back up from last week. That's a good sign

Consider

1 Ayteem

F: 24211   B(12) W(61.5)
( J- Ashlee Strawbridge )
( T- Janelle Millar )

Has won its last two and simply can't be left out of your reckoning. The 61 1/2kgs and the wide draw are our concerns

F: 241X1   B(3) W(54.5)
( J- Kavish Chowdhoory )

Top Pick

5 Breaker Bay

F: 21   B(9) W(59.0)
( J- Ashlee Strawbridge )
( T- Matthew Eales )

4yo that only made its debut last month and after finishing close up at long odds on debut, it proved that was no fluke when getting home last start. Both runs were in the Heavy

Main Danger

6 Indian Gold

F: 53036   B(7) W(59.0)
( J- Liam Kauri )
( T- Allan Sharrock )

Looked a chance early in the straight last week and this drop back to 1800m might be ideal. Locally trained and on the quick back up

Next Best

12 Kit Zakat

F: 44631   B(11) W(56.5)
( J- Hayley Hassman )
( T- Tawhiti Hina )

Trainer doesn't have many going around but his strike rate is good. This one won here by over six lengths three weeks ago so has to be a chance to go back to back on that performance

Consider

8 Explosive Impact

F: 5X622   B(1) W(58.0)
( J- Tom Wigram )
( T- Allan Sharrock )

Trainer of Indian Gold also runs this one and its a chance too, having run well at Hastings over 1600m last time. Rails draw

F: 31X86   B(13) W(58.0)
