Main Danger
10 Asher
Dividend : $2.70
Place
F: 4B(1)W(56.5)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Guy Lowry & Leah Zydenbos )
It wasn't a strong field at Whanganui, but this one ran well there on debut and will be improved. Rails draw
Next Best
8 Smackers
F: 474X3B(3)W(56.5)
( J-Lily Sutherland )
( T-Stacey Dougan )
Beaten less than a length here three weeks ago and, considering that was its first race in 9 months, it will be better for that run
Consider
5 Scutalong
F: 634X9B(7)W(58.5)
( J-Tom Wigram )
( T-Peter & Shaun McKay )
From a stable that gets them right, this one should be in contention today at good odds
Longer Odds
3 Hit The Gas
F: 56295B(2)W(58.5)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Steven Cole )
Thought this 4yo made good improvement last start and could go on with it

Clearly well considered at home as it ran on Karaka Millions night in its last start of three, in its first campaign. Resumes today and will strip a stronger galloper

Main Danger
7 Perfect Pete

Nine placings but just the one win amongst them, so the ability is there and just needs to overcome the wide draw

Place
F: 34271B(4)W(58.5)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Daniel Miller )
This young trainer is good but doesn't have many going around at any one time. This one did it well to win at Ruakaka last time and chances can't be dismissed

Main Danger
7 Tenfoot Tall
Dividend : $2.15
Place
F: 05165B(2)W(56.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Vicki Prendergast )
It's always been expected to rise through the grades but yet to meet them. However, its run behind Diamond Jak is probably the best form line for the race and might win
Next Best
10 Ocean Road
F: X4301B(6)W(56.0)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Paula Wilkinson )
Steps up to R75 today but the style in which it finished off for the win last time, going back to back wouldn't surprise
Consider
6 Cocobill

F: 230X7B(1)W(57.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )

F: 22X2B(5)W(55.0)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Samantha Logan )
Although yet to win in three starts, it showed it had good ability when keeping on well after leading, after the exciting Hawea strode on by. It will be improved for that resuming run

3 Afternoon Siesta
F: 1213XB(7)W(58.0)

( J-Bruno Queiroz )
( T-Lisa Latta )
It was beaten four lengths at Hawera last start but it was in fact an improved run. Interesting to note Lisa has handed this one's reins to Bruno too
