   ( J- Masa Hashizume )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  This Te Akau runner was well supported when resuming here four weeks ago and ran to those expectations. will have taken improvement from that run, its first in five months

  Main Danger

  

  5 Card Shark  

  F:   B(1)  W(57.5)

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( T- Ben & Ryan Foote )

  F: 4X5   B(3)  W(55.0)

  Place

  F:   B(6)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Tony Pike )

  With trials going back as far as 10 months, it is well prepared for its first race day run and the TAB is keeping it tight in the market. Wide draw a concern

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Conor and Sarah Fahy )

  Place

  F: 6   B(4)  W(56.0)

   ( J- George Rooke )

  F: 7X76   B(6)  W(56.5)

  Won

  F:   B(6)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Te Akau runner on debut and is of interest on two accounts - it looked to have a lot of ability when winning the last of its two trials, and secondly, the name looks like a bit of a commentators nightmare

  Main Danger

  

  6 Imperial Rose  

  F: 26X4X   B(8)  W(55.5)

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Looks the quinella option here. Stephen Marsh has clearly progressed this one with breaks in between races and now comes into this on the back of a winning trial

  Next Best

  

  2 State Of Play  

  F:   B(1)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Masa Hashizume )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Te Akau runner on debut after being trialled over an extended period, winning one. Rails draw gives it every chance today

  Consider

  

  3 Whistlejacket  

  F:   B(2)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Kyle Wilson-Taylor )

   ( T- Pam Gerard )

  Pam Gerard's stable has been a bit on the quiet side in the last year but this one might start things off again. Won its last trial

  4 Rip Tide  

  Dividend : $5.00, $1.80

  Won

  F:   B(8)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  On debut after three trials and has seen solid support since opening, backed down from an opening $5.50 Craig Grylls has ridden in all three trials and takes it to race day

  Main Danger

  

  2 Rise To Power  

  F: 3X   B(2)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Masa Hashizume )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  As Te Akau often do, they travelled to the CD to give this colt its first run in April, and it ran well without looking likely to win. Resuming from a spell after that race, it will be a stronger performer now

  Next Best

  

  1 Capital Express  

  Dividend : $1.45

  Place

  F: 5430X   B(6)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Joe Doyle )

   ( T- Paul Pertab )

  First run since March but has won a trial to prepare. Note that it has been backed down from an opening $6.50, so comes here with confidence behind it

  Consider

  

  6 Via Fontanella  

  F: 4X   B(5)  W(55.5)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Tony Pike )

  After winning a trial, it ran a bit green in May on its debut to finish close up. Resumes from a subsequent spell and at good EW odds

  Longer Odds

  

  7 Thrill Of Flight  

  F:   B(3)  W(55.5)

   ( J- Samantha Collett )

   ( T- Stephen Autridge )

  Has run OK in trials to date and could show improvement on debut, especially now its on a Soft track

  Won

  F: X33X3   B(3)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Joe Nishizuka )

   ( T- Phillip Stevens )

  Although beaten a length by Camila when resuming, it ill be improved for that run today, and with the better barrier draw, looks the one to beat

  Main Danger

  

  9 All On Black  

  F:   B(6)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Kyle Wilson-Taylor )

   ( T- Tony Pike )

  On debut but did win one of its trials, so the ability is there. Tony Pike generally has them 'ready to go'

  3 Camila  

  F: 7722   B(8)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  Well beaten into second here four weeks ago but we're putting that down to the Heavy track. Craig Grylls rides and expect better today

  Consider

  

  2 Rio Benito  

  F: 3   B(5)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Matthew Cameron )

   ( T- Shane Crawford )

  4yo that only had its first start two weeks ago, and was seen finishing to good effect after it got into stride

  Longer Odds

  Dividend : $2.70

  Place

  F: 5   B(7)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Courtney Barnes )

   ( T- Maxim & Samantha Van Lierde )

  Nearly a boilover when it finished less than two lengths from the winner when on debut, at $94! That was just 9 days ago so out again quickly

  Place

  F: 4X   B(3)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Tony Pike )

  Four months on from its debut run, you can expect this 3yo to have matured and if it has indeed trained on, will be the one to beat

  Main Danger

  

  4 Turn It Up  

  F: 150X7   B(1)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Erin Leighton )

   ( T- Roydon Bergerson )

  You don't see this trainer with runners at Taupo and, with not much depth in the field, looks likely to be in the finish from its rails draw

  Place

  F: 26X6X   B(2)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Masa Hashizume )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Now with the Te Akau stable, its having its first run in nine months, and might just need it

  F: 1080X   B(4)  W(59.0)

  F: 65377   B(5)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Cooper Stumbles )

  Won

  F: 8X560   B(1)  W(55.5)

   ( J- Jasmine Fawcett )

   ( T- Carl Henderson )

  Has been finding the Heavy tracks a challenge in its last two races and, now back to a Soft one, can get a deserved win. With 11 placed runs, it should really have won more than the single race

  Main Danger

  

  4 Bonnie Gem  

  F: 52170   B(8)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Samantha Collett )

   ( T- Debbie Sweeney )

  Another one that has only won the one race, but run second 7 times! Won a trial to prepare

  1 Rima Rua Toru  

  F: 15   B(6)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Joe Doyle )

  Good enough to win on debut and now finds a weak race to possibly register its second win

  Consider

  

  9 Prestissimo  

  F: 9X026   B(3)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Elen Nicholas )
