2 Sword Of Steel
F: 2XB(10)W(57.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Te Akau have called up Craig Grylls for this promising 3yo for its resumption, it having run second to s subsequent Guineas winner in its only run in June. The draw is the only concern
Main Danger
8 Mega Roc
Dividend : $2.30
Place
F:B(2)W(55.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
On debut, and has won one of its four trials dating back to March. This strong stable now brings it to race day and there's not a lot to beat, with the inside draw to advantage too
Next Best
6 Imperial Rose
Dividend : $5.00, $1.90
Won
F: 6X4X4B(1)W(55.5)
( J-Courtney Barnes )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Interesting in that all its 4 starts have been spread out. In between has won two trials so has the ability, and that's reflected in the early market support
Consider
4 Grand Capitalist
F: 5XB(4)W(57.5)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Ben & Ryan Foote )
Very promising run in its only start, in June, and resumes now from a spell. Sure to have matured
Longer Odds
10 Lofty Wind
F: 58B(6)W(55.5)
( J-Tom Wigram )
( T-Donna Logan )
Trainer turns to her talented apprentice for its third start today, and that 3kg claim puts it in the mix at good EW odds

Place
F: 4X4X1B(1)W(55.0)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Kelly Van Dyk )
First time it caught the attention when finishing close up on Karaka Millions night in January, at odds of $85. Has gone on from there and a very impressive winner when resuming three weeks ago
Main Danger
2 King's English
Dividend : $3.10, $1.50
Won
F: 0X91XB(4)W(59.0)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
But for the exciting Places To Be being in this race, would have been odds on, on the back of its 3 wins from seven starts. Has always looks to have good potential and Opie rides
Next Best
1 Egyptian Queen
F: 853X9B(3)W(59.5)
( J-Hayley Hassman )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Will be better for its resuming run three weeks ago and is a second runner for Te Akau. Looks better than the rest of the field

4 Pink Gin
F: 12232B(7)W(57.0)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Tony Pike )
Tony Pike has placed this one well to win on the synthetic but will find this harder. Might sneak into a place

Dividend : $2.30
Place
F: 2235XB(6)W(57.5)
( J-Wiremu Pinn )
( T-Graham Richardson & Rogan Norvall )
Despite running in some competitive fields last campaign, it finished close up in a number of them. Will be more mature after its 5 months spell and we expect it to run well fresh
Main Danger
12 Via Fontanella
F: 4X4B(12)W(55.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Tony Pike )
Only just over a length when resuming and the winner that day was a bit stiff not to back that up recently. Just needs to overcome the wide draw
Next Best
4 Hit 'n' Run
F: 3545XB(5)W(57.5)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Kelly Van Dyk )
Resumes from a five month spell after showing enough in its last campaign to suggest it won't be long in winning
Consider
8 Octavia
F:B(9)W(57.5)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Chad Ormsby )

F:B(3)W(57.5)
( J-Tegan Newman )

On debut on the back of winning both its trials. Clearly has ability

Dividend : $1.65
Place
F: 253B(5)W(54.0)
( J-Kyle Wilson-Taylor )
( T-Shaune Ritchie & Colm Murray )
Debut back in June was in a Stakes race and it did well to finish second. Yet to win but progressing in the right direction
Main Danger
14 Aquadream
F:B(1)W(54.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Opened at $4.60 and now opens up as favourite on race day. That suggests confidence by the Te Akau stable for this one on debut, on a track that they have a good record. Rails draw to advantage
Next Best
7 Tzarina's Crown
F: 8B(3)W(56.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Good effort without threatening on debut and but as often happens with this stable's runners, they are much improved with a race under their belt. Nice draw
Consider
5 Lark
Dividend : $8.00, $2.60
Won
F: 098X3B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Second runner in this by this stable and rates a chance. Terrific performance to finish third after a 9 month break, four weeks ago, and will have taken improvement
Longer Odds
12 In The Vineyard
F: 35227B(9)W(54.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Tony Pike )
We'll give this one, one more chance as it has been placed 7 times from 11 starts, most of them on the synthetic. The return to turf might do the trick

Place
F: 16526B(12)W(57.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Vicki Prendergast )
5yo mare with the ability to be winning this. Although sixth last start, was only 1 1/2 lengths from the winner and shouldn't haven't any troubled seeing out this 2600m
Main Danger
2 Enright
F: 6X773B(2)W(58.5)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )
( T-Stuart Manning )
Has been showing the right signs in its last few races, finishing 1/2 length ahead of Tenfoot Tall last time. But the key to its chances is this good senior rider now taking over
Next Best
7 So Call Me
F: 56161B(4)W(55.5)
( J-Floor Moerman )
( T-Kevin Myers )
Won for the 8th time last start and Kevin Myers will have it trained to perfection over this extended journey
Consider
1 Gate Crashers
F: 31X01B(13)W(59.5)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Shaune Ritchie & Colm Murray )
Third up this campaign, in which it has looked improved and won its last start over 2100m. Has to be rated on that

Won
F: 151F0B(5)W(56.0)

Place
F: 3793XB(3)W(57.0)
( J-Rihaan Goyaram )
( T-Graham Richardson & Rogan Norvall )
Will be wanting further but if the early market support is anything to go by, then it is going well at home and likely to sprint well fresh up. Not far away in its races last campaign
Main Danger
5 Geneva Queen
Dividend : $5.50, $2.05
Won
F: 289X1B(11)W(57.5)
( J-Hayley Hassman )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Resumed on its home track three weeks ago and won at what was only its fourth time of asking. Better for the run and only concern is the wide draw
Next Best
8 Lassified
F: 4100XB(9)W(56.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
A winner of two from just 5 starts last campaign, connections thought it good enough to take it to Australia in February. Resumes after 7 month spell and will find this a lot easier
Consider
13 Delorean
F: 8X275B(4)W(55.0)
( J-Jack Taplin )
( T-Kylie Fawcett )
Fresh up and worth a closer look over this 100m journey. well drawn and has run well in this state in the past
Longer Odds
1 New Recruit
F: X109XB(1)W(59.0)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )
( T-Pam Gerard )
Resumes and we're interested to see Jasmine Fawcett handed the reins. Won fresh up last campaign and with the rails draw, will get every chance
