( J-Corentin Berge )
( T-Roger James & Robert Wellwood )
Ran well in Stakes races last season and now resumes after a 5 month spell, sure to be more mature. Stable said they were excited about some of their runners through the spring and this might be one of them. Rails draw

F: 72241B(7)W(58.5)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Aimee Black )
After a string of very close finishes, this 6yo did it in style to break maidens over 2100m last time and can get punters off to a winning start
Main Danger

Place
F: 00703B(5)W(60.0)
( J-Hayley Hassman )
( T-J & R Vance )

Won
F: 0X848B(3)W(57.0)

Consider
4 Ballinran
Dividend : $5.00
Place
F: 7L013B(1)W(58.5)
( J-Erin Leighton )

F: 28775B(2)W(59.0)
( J-Kyle Wilson-Taylor )
( T-G A & D G Rogerson & Clint Isdale )

Top Pick
3 Hezashocka
F: 56262B(6)W(54.5)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Shaun & Emma Clotworthy )
Stepped up to 2200m last start and just missed in a very close photo. Third up today and fitter, it does look to be in good heart this campaign
Main Danger
1 Diamond Jak
Dividend : $13.00, $3.10
Won
F: 80114B(3)W(62.5)
( J-Jack Taplin )
( T-Mark Brosnan )
We continue to believe in this 8yo, that won over this distance two back. It has been a revelation over the last year and has the 2kg apprentice claim in its favour today
Next Best
2 Fly My Wey
Dividend : $2.00
Place
F: 83451B(7)W(56.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Mark Brosnan )
Got a deserved win here two weeks ago and has consistently been in the mix. No reason it won't be again today
Consider
4 Santa Catalina
F: 08X88B(8)W(54.0)
( J-Kyle Wilson-Taylor )
( T-Peter & Shaun McKay )
Interested to see this one on the quick back up from last week. Will like today's Soft track so much better
Longer Odds
Best "Roughie"
6 Khan Hunter
F: 02957B(4)W(54.0)
( J-Joe Nishizuka )
( T-Antony Fuller )
Looked a chance before fading out in its last start. Fitter today
Te Akau scratched this one two weeks ago because of the Heavy track so it will be fit to go today, resuming from a 4 month break. Michael McNab rides and it does look to be talented
Main Danger
7 Grocer's Girl
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 252X4B(5)W(54.0)
( J-Kyle Wilson-Taylor )
( T-Tony Pike )
Had some decent types behind it when resuming here two weeks ago, and was only 1 1/2 lengths from the winner. Well regarded at home
Next Best
3 So Fear
F: 137X8B(4)W(56.0)
( J-Courtney Barnes )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Tough start to its 3yo campaign when pitted against a good field in the Whanganui Guineas and will be much improved today
Consider
1 Incandescent
Dividend : $1.80
Place
F: 3521XB(7)W(58.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Roger James & Robert Wellwood )
Stakes races were the order of the day for this one last season and it finished close up in a few of them. Resumes, more mature, and will be in the mix
Longer Odds
5 Ignore Me Not
F: 6X1B(8)W(55.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Stephen Marsh often starts his runners, when fresh up, on the synthetic and this one went that way and won last time. Outsiders chance

Top Pick
Best "Each Way"
2 Zenith
F: 05112B(5)W(60.0)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-John Bell )
Came home strongly here two weeks ago and might well have won had Monologue got a dream run through on the rails. Can get back to the winners enclosure today
Main Danger
8 Getaway
Dividend : $1.30
Place
F: D4213B(4)W(55.5)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Kurtis Pertab )
Three lengths behind Zenith here two weeks ago but was resuming and will come on for the run. Trainer rates highly
Next Best
3 Lollapalooza
Dividend : $1.75
Place
F: 275X0B(6)W(59.5)
( J-Joe Nishizuka )
( T-Graham Richardson & Rogan Norvall )
Showed itself to be not far off the best 3yo's last season and was up against Well Written in a WFA event when resuming. Better for the run and this easier
Consider
5 Towering Vision
Dividend : $4.40, $1.55
Won
F: 07X36B(1)W(57.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Te Akau runner that was in behind in Monologue's race last start and that looks to be the form guide for this race. Third up today and worth a closer look
Longer Odds
9 Reconvene
F: 23118B(7)W(55.5)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Tony Furness )
Looked good when winning two in the CD before disappointing there last time. Going to excuse that as it is progressive

Top Pick
2 Sarti
F: 12X3B(5)W(60.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Ken Kelso )
Came away from its two starts earlier in the year with quite the reputation, so went out as a $1.40 favourite four weeks ago at Te Rapa, when resuming. Although beaten into third, it was a length away and with improvement, it should be winning this
Main Danger
1 Day One
Dividend : $3.60, $1.55
Won
F: 514XB(1)W(60.0)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Te Akau runner resuming after 8 months off the track, after showing a lot of potential in two runs in its first campaign. Loos the best of Opie's two rides today and does look likely to be in the first two. Rails draw
Next Best
3 Los Santos
Dividend : $2.50
Place
F: 8X722B(10)W(59.5)
( J-Kyle Wilson-Taylor )
( T-Peter & Shaun McKay )
Although from a stable in form, it has drawn a bit wide today. Did beat Le Jacquires Cartier last time though
Consider
5 Le Jacques Cartier
F: 13377B(4)W(59.0)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Danny Walker & Arron Tata )
Hasn't been far away in all its starts this campaign and needs to be in your multis
Longer Odds
12 Sir Fergus
F: 43504B(3)W(56.5)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Barbara Kennedy )
This capable young trainer hasn't been such a regular winner over the last 6 months or so, but the fact her husband rides for her today, is a good sign

The 'Day's Best'
7 Golden Wings
Dividend : $1.95, $1.22
Won
F: 4120XB(4)W(57.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Sophia Nolan and Hanna Orting )
With a record of two wins and three seconds from its 7 starts to date, it resumes after 8 months on the back of an impressive trial win. And given its been backed down from and opening $3.90, it's clearly the one you want to be on in this race
Main Danger
9 Confesara
Dividend : $3.00
Place
F: 2031XB(9)W(56.0)
( J-Corentin Berge )
( T-Roger James & Robert Wellwood )
Progressed nicely last campaign and signed off with a deserved win in a 3yo Stakes race. Resumes now 6 months later and sure to be a whole lot more mature in many ways
Next Best
4 Scolera
F: 84221B(1)W(59.0)
( J-Hayley Hassman )
( T-Jim Collett )
Has been running well and comes into this off a win at Ruakaka. Might well back that up
Consider
8 Landlock
Dividend : $3.20
Place
F: 043X5B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Cody Cole )
This 4yo ran well in Stakes races as a 3yo and wasn't far off them. Better for its first run back, it's one to boost your multis
Longer Odds
2 Bulgari
F: 5621XB(13)W(59.5)
( J-Tom Wigram )
( T-Darryn & Briar Weatherley )
Talented 3yo resuming here with this good young apprentice on the reins. If he can overcome the wide draw, will be right in this

Top Pick
6 Arabian Songbird
F: X114XB(6)W(54.0)
( J-Abinith Simon )
( T-Roger James & Robert Wellwood )
The early money says it all here, already backed down from an opening $6, there is clearly a lot of confidence at home for this talented 6yo now resuming. Has won 5 of its 11 starts and apprentice brings the 4kg claim
Main Danger
8 Mosinvader
F: 36X63B(2)W(54.0)
( J-Kyle Wilson-Taylor )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Third up today and not beaten far in an Open at Ruakaka last time. Inside gate and Australian jockey takes over
Next Best
2 Reward Smile
Dividend : $3.40
Place
F: 41716B(4)W(59.5)
( J-Tom Wigram )
( T-Jenna Mahoney )
A winner two back, it was only two lengths away last start when dropped back 300m. Back up to 1400m, it comes right into play
Consider
7 Top Shelf
Dividend : $5.00, $1.95
Won
F: 6122XB(8)W(54.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Although a winner of only two races, it has been second five times, so may well have won more. This might be its season, returning from a 5 month spell, as it clearly has good ability
Longer Odds
4 Riverplate
F: 21402B(9)W(58.5)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Andrew Campbell )
Third up today, this CD trainer hasn't travelled up here for the scenery and it could surprise them

11 Ocean Rules
F: 414X4B(10)W(57.0)
( J-Courtney Barnes )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Lightly raced, this Stephen Marsh 4yo mare was impressive in winning its only race to date back in April but didn't go on with it. However, it looked good when resuming and is one to follow
Main Danger
1 Golden Point
F: 72133B(1)W(59.5)
( J-Kyle Wilson-Taylor )
( T-Annabelle Johnson )
A winner three back, it continues to run well and has the rails draw to its advantage today. Good Australian jockey takes over
Next Best
2 Alker Traz
Dividend : $4.00
Place
F: 31B(2)W(59.0)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )
( T-Michelle Bradley )
Good enough to win at only its second start at the beginning of last month and we marked it down as one to watch. Concern is that it then didn't have another race until resuming today, 7 weeks later
Consider
12 Luvabeel
F: 0X21XB(12)W(56.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Te Akau runner resuming and has to be a chance as it looks capable and has a good fresh up record. But wide draw a concern
Longer Odds
3 Jurisprudence
Dividend : $2.60
Place
F: 46336B(14)W(59.0)
( J-Abhay Seesa )
( T-Danny Walker & Arron Tata )
Has been consistently close up in all its recent races and it won't take much to bring the necessary improvement.
