F: X5481B(1)W(57.5)
( J-Ashlee Strawbridge )

Next Best
2 Verdian
F: 60224B(3)W(59.0)
( J-Brett Murray )
( T-Jamie Bullard )
Tried on the synthetic last time and although fourth, was only two lengths away. A chance now back on the turf

( J-Leah Hemi )

6 Unwoke
F: 21X03B(12)W(58.5)
( J-Triston Moodley )
( T-Lance Robinson )

Main Danger
2 Sacred Zed
Dividend : $3.60, $1.65
Won
F: 25416B(1)W(59.5)
( J-Mereana Hudson )
( T-Kevin Myers )
After not fulfilling its promise in the north last year, it was sent to this racing guru to bring the improvement. No surprise then to see it winning two back and will be tuned to the minute today
Next Best
4 Noble Lee
F: 5X351B(2)W(58.5)
( J-Floor Moerman )
( T-Caley Myers )
Another Myers trainer down from the north and this last start winner has only had the 9 starts and is progressing nicely now its up to middle distance
Consider
1 Don Pauly
F: 12347B(7)W(59.5)
( J-Sima Mxothwa )
( T-Terri Rae )
A 7yo now, this ex northerner has run well in the south and wasn't far behind Valley King in two runs here last month
Longer Odds
10 No Plan Be
F: 05X98B(9)W(56.5)
( J-Terry Moseley )
( T-Pam Robson )
This mare was running in Open handicaps prior to relocating to the south this campaign, and now third up, could get in the mix

Top Pick
The 'Day's Best'
6 Miss Seth
F: 61311B(12)W(57.5)
( J-Jack Taplin )
( T-Kenny Rae )
Ruakaka trainer, Kenny Rae, has brought huge improvement in this runner this time up and has now won three of its last four runs. Went to the line with its ears pricked here two weeks ago, and only up 1kg with an apprentice now in the saddle
Main Danger
10 What She Wants
Dividend : $1.75
Place
F: X4221B(1)W(54.0)
( J-Leah Hemi )
( T-Shankar Muniandy )
The step up in distance did the trick last time and now goes 200m further. That should suit it even better, with Leah sticking
Next Best
7 Balance Of Power
Dividend : $2.20
Place
F: 34943B(4)W(57.5)
( J-Hayley Hassman )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

Consider
12 Mineshaft
F: X9747B(6)W(54.0)
( J-Wiremu Pinn )
( T-Pam Gerard )
Good recent form against better fields than this, and now makes its southern debut with Wiremu Pinn up

Dividend : $11.00, $3.20
Won
F: 12X58B(10)W(59.5)
( J-Mereana Hudson )
( T-Kenny Moore )
Well beaten by Miss Seth last time but putting in to run a place, as its prior run when resuming was an eye catcher

4 Iron Hawk
Dividend : $3.10, $1.40
Won
F: 2112XB(8)W(56.0)
( J-Triston Moodley )
( T-Lance Robinson )
Two wins and two seconds since coming from Australia mark this 5yo down as an exciting prospect through the spring. Has a good fresh up record and hard to beat today
Main Danger
5 Trobriand
Dividend : $1.40
Place
F: 012X3B(6)W(56.0)
( J-Wiremu Pinn )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
This one is the better performed of Te Akau's two runners and will be better for its run two weeks ago. Wiremu takes the reins
Next Best
6 Master Brutus
F: 4133XB(1)W(54.5)
( J-Yogesh Atchamah )
( T-Andrew Carston )
7yo resuming. Well performed and has the rails draw today
Consider
1 Mystic Park
F: 2778XB(4)W(62.0)
( J-Amber Riddell )
( T-Michael & Matthew Pitman )
The Pitmans have a huge reputation of this 7yo and had it down to run a week ago, but was scratched. Needs to be in your reckoning for any multis
Longer Odds
7 La Bella Nera
F: 53522B(3)W(54.0)
( J-Alyssa Parris )
( T-John & Karen Parsons )
Beaten less than a length last time and considering Troiband was behind it, is at tempting odds

Top Pick
1 Sweetest Thing
Dividend : $1.90, $1.18
Won
F: 2252XB(6)W(56.5)
( J-Wiremu Pinn )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Te Akau run two in this as well but this one has the best credentials, running second three times from its four starts as a 2yo, all in Stakes races. Has drifted a bit since opening so keep an eye on that
Main Danger
2 Outback Girl
F: 644X1B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Stephanie Faulkner )
Resumed from a three month spell here two weeks ago and was an impressive winner, coming home unchallenged. The extra 200m should be an issue with that run under its belt
Next Best
3 Glamour Extreme
F: 12B(3)W(56.5)
( J-Rohan Mudhoo )
( T-Ebony Turner )
Backed to beat Outback Girl last time, it was shown a clean pair of heels and we can't really see it turning that advantage around
Consider
5 Doubtable
F: 1423B(2)W(56.5)
( J-Jack Taplin )
( T-Terri Rae )
Has been a shade disappointing in two runs back but Terri Rae will have had this Listed race in her plans, so expect the improvement
Longer Odds
8 Sword Of Stars
Dividend : $2.70
Place
F: 226XB(14)W(56.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Te Akau's less fancied runner and from gate 14, you can understand why. First run since New Years Day but sure to be fit and could run a place

Time: 4:08 PM | Distance: 1800 m | Prize $ 50000
Top Pick
2 Sunset Boulevard
F: 8138XB(5)W(60.0)
( J-Floor Moerman )
( T-Kevin Myers )
Kevin Myers runner that looked a good chance and has been handed a golden opportunity with the scratching of Shawshank. Was an impressive trial winner in the CD at the beginning of the month
Main Danger
1 Riviera Rebel
Dividend : $4.60, $1.80
Won
F: 01481B(3)W(60.5)
( J-Ashlee Strawbridge )
( T-Graham Eade & Brooke Kincaid )
A 9 time winner, it has found peak field at the right time and looks certain to be in the first three home
Next Best
6 Shawshank
F: 11611B(10)W(56.5)
( J-Ace Lawson-Carroll )
( T-Samantha Wynne )
Given it was only 3/4 length behind (today's) pre-race favourite Shawshank here two weeks ago, you have to think it will be there at the business end in this. Had some big betting plunges on it in its last campaign
Consider
8 Prince Alby
Dividend : $3.70
Place
F: 43564B(1)W(54.5)
( J-Jack Taplin )
( T-Kelvin Tyler )
Has been a prolific winner over the years and chances can't be dismissed. Rails draw for good run
Longer Odds
Best "Roughie"
9 Flash Roca
F: 44018B(4)W(54.0)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )
( T-Kelvin Tyler )
Kevin Tyler has turned to Jasmine to get the job done, after it was eight (but only 5 lengths away) behind Shawshank last time

Top Pick
13 Smiling Eyes
Dividend : $1.65
Place
F: 645X1B(1)W(54.0)
( J-Yogesh Atchamah )
( T-Robert Dennis )
Ex northerner that made an emphatic south Island debut over 1200m here a month ago, galloping on strongly to the line to win by five lengths. And that was out of gate 12. Will want further so the 1400m won't be an issue. Note it has been backed from an opening $12 too
Main Danger
5 Hakkinen
Dividend : $3.60, $1.65
Won
F: 242DXB(12)W(57.0)
( J-Wiremu Pinn )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
This could be one of Te Akau's better chances today. Having its first race in the south and resumes on the back of a winning trial
Next Best
2 Victorian Charm
F: 67X45B(8)W(60.5)
( J-Ashlee Strawbridge )
( T-Bevan & Robyn Wilson )
Fair run against some of these last time and has the country's leading jockey, for the moment, in the saddle
Consider
4 Powerofpersuasion
F: 31431B(4)W(57.5)
( J-Jack Taplin )
( T-Terri Rae )
Had been going so well prior to its break, that it has to be a chance, now resuming. Goes well fresh
Longer Odds
10 Intercept
F: 10X08B(2)W(54.0)
( J-Leah Hemi )
( T-Graham Eade & Brooke Kincaid )
Third up today and we wouldn't be surprised to see it show up, with Leah now in the saddle to add to its chances, and an inside gate
