Dividend : $2.00, $1.16
Won
F:B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
On debut from the strong Te Akau stable. Won its only trial back in August and given time since. Early support in the markets is the positive
Next Best
1 Don Giuseppe
Dividend : $1.65
Place
F:B(6)W(57.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Peter & Shaun McKay )
With this stable renowned for winning with fresh up runners, this one will certainly be in the finish on its first race day start, if it's impressive 5 1/2 length trial win is any indication
Consider
2 Hezanicon
F:B(3)W(57.0)
( J-Jonathan Riddell )
( T-Lisa Latta )
Hard to overlook this Lisa Latta trained runner's chances too, given it won its latest trial by 6 lengths and is nicely drawn
Longer Odds

Dividend : $2.80
Place
F:B(7)W(55.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Peter & Shaun McKay )

Top Pick
7 Seduire
F: 55771B(2)W(56.5)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Sophia Nolan and Hanna Orting )
Showed us that its future lies over the middle distance when returning to form at Matamata over 2000m three weeks ago. Extra 100m should suit even better
Main Danger
1 Eliud
Dividend : $1.24
Place
F: X6822B(9)W(60.0)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Tony Pike )
Terrific first effort over middle distance here two weeks ago, after showing good promise in races up to 1600m
Next Best

Dividend : $7.50, $2.20
Won
F: X6525B(6)W(58.5)
( J-Elen Nicholas )
( T-Paul Nelson & Corrina McDougal )
Hasn't been far off them in its last three races and won't take much improvement to be in the finish
Consider
4 Los Salsero
Dividend : $1.45
Place
F: 73254B(7)W(59.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Only ¾ length behind Eluid last start and that represents good form for this
Longer Odds
6 Malibu
F: 150X6B(8)W(57.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Josh Shaw )
On a line through Pacific Princess, that wasn't a bad run by this one when resuming 4 weeks ago. That one has gone on to win to frank the form

Time: 1:14 PM | Distance: 2000 m | Prize $ 65000
Top Pick
7 Pacific Princess
F: 61X21B(8)W(55.0)
( J-Kavish Chowdhoory )
( T-John Bary )
Won at the back end of its last campaign and showed it had trained on since that with two good runs this campaign, winning the last here two weeks ago. Nothing to suggest it can't back that up
Main Danger
5 Stella Success
F: 76252B(2)W(56.0)
( J-Lily Sutherland )
( T-Joshua Lavelle & Sacha Rennie )
A winner of three from just 14 starts, it was seen finishing to good effect into second here four weeks ago
Next Best
8 Tulsa King
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: X7503B(3)W(55.0)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Aaron Bidlake )
Considering it was only 8 lengths off the winner in the Derby back in March, it certainly owns the ability to be winning a race at this level. Trained nearby
Consider
4 Subiaco
F: 41817B(6)W(56.5)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Peter & Shaun McKay )
Won here over 1600m two back and then stepped up to 2100m at Te Rapa last time. Not a bad run to be less than 3 ½ lengths away and will be better today
Longer Odds
2 Sheaf
F: 25X10B(1)W(59.5)
( J-Floor Moerman )
( T-Kevin Myers )
On the quick back up after not being pressured on a very challenging track at Hawera last week. Look for an improved run today

Top Pick
12 Ocean Rules
F: 14X46B(7)W(56.5)
( J-Courtney Barnes )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Third up today for the Stephen Marsh stable and the step up to 1600m ideal. Surprised it hasn't won more than the one race, as was impressive then when clearing out by 4 lengths
Main Danger
1 Jacobite Rising
F: 107X2B(2)W(59.0)
( J-Jonathan Riddell )
( T-John Bary )
Only the six starts and showing all the signs of a galloper likely to rise through the grades. Just beaten here four weeks ago
Next Best
11 Mercy
Dividend : $7.50, $2.60
Won
F: 12280B(3)W(57.0)
( J-Lily Sutherland )
( T-Kevin Myers )
Wouldn't be surprised to see this Kevin Myers runner feature today and it will be at peak fitness now an hasn't been far away in recent starts
Consider
6 Live On Air
Dividend : $2.25
Place
F: 08832B(6)W(58.0)
( J-Wiremu Pinn )
( T-Danica Guy )
Consistently thereabouts and the booking of Wiremu Pinn to ride, adds to its chances today
Longer Odds
Best "Roughie"
4 Taylor Square
F: 570X1B(10)W(59.0)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Paul Mirabelli )
Ran in the Derby back in March before returning from a 5 month spell to win last time. Went out favourite that day and could be smart

Top Pick
2 Ifbymagic
F: 093X1B(9)W(58.5)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Cody Cole )
After winning a trial to prepare, it was an impressive winner when resuming two weeks ago in what was only its fourth start. Cody Cole will have targeted this $100k race
Main Danger
5 Navy Dreams
Dividend : $2.00, $1.22
Won
F: 344X2B(3)W(57.0)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Although still a maiden, its four seconds suggest it won't be long in winning and that might be today. Just beaten by a neck when resuming, it has drawn well today and will be improved
Next Best
3 Performer
F: 2213B(12)W(58.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Robbie Patterson )
It's this good trainer/jockey combination coming together again here and we note Craig Grylls has got off Ifbymagic to ride. Liked its winning run two back and surprised to see it beaten last start. Might bounce back with this step up in distance
Consider
9 High Rock
F: 6X1B(10)W(56.0)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Roydon Bergerson )
This one needs a closer look, having won its first start after a five month spell at Trentham last time. Only the one run prior when in a competitive field back in April
Longer Odds
1 Bunker Hill
F: 02681B(7)W(58.5)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Margaret Falconer )
Won its maiden at only its fifth start at the Te Rapa course. Progressive and represents the odds value here

The 'Day's Best'
7 Shirase
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 41B(4)W(55.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Tony Pike )
A very smart filly, it caught the eye when winning its first two trials and has now brought that forward to race day. Competitive race but with Michael McNab opting for this one over Coniston, we're trusting his judgment too
Main Danger
2 Coniston
F: 71B(8)W(57.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Clearly the one to beat, winning all three trials and winning at its second race day start when a hot favourite
Next Best
3 Fortunato
F: 18B(3)W(57.0)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Guy Lowry & Leah Zydenbos )
Going to excuse its run here two weeks ago because it looked a 3yo with good potential when on debut at Taupo
Consider
9 Vintage Rose
F: 1B(1)W(55.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Finished over them to win on debut. Being from the Te Akau stable, and benefitting from the rails draw, it needs a closer look
Longer Odds
10 Tip Top
F: 845B(9)W(54.0)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
All three runs have been in Stakes races and it hasn't been far away, at long odds. Could surprise them

4 Grinzinger Moon
F: X11X7B(8)W(59.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Roger James & Robert Wellwood )
A winner of six of its 11 starts, this one will be much improved for its resuming run. Drops back to R75 and a senior rider takes over
Main Danger
2 Golden Wings
Dividend : $1.18
Place
F: 120X1B(10)W(59.5)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Sophia Nolan and Hanna Orting )
Couldn't help but be impressed with its winning run at Ellerslie last time, after an eight month spell. Fitter now too but wide draw the concern
Next Best
8 Hidden Achievement
F: X460XB(4)W(57.0)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Australian import with the Stephen Marsh stable and now on NZ debut, after trials. Watch for tote support
Consider
6 Landlock
Dividend : $2.25
Place
F: 43X52B(3)W(58.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Cody Cole )
Hard to believe it has only won the one race but it has consistently run in classy fields and has still amassed over $240k in winnings
Longer Odds
7 Argo
F: 1302XB(7)W(57.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Tony Pike )
First run since February and sure to have developed well over that time. Ran in good Stakes company last time up

F: 5X230B(1)W(59.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Close up behind Waitak, Well Written, and Alabama Lass in its three races this campaign and now drops to Group 3. Rails draw and will get every chance

Dividend : $4.50, $1.95
Won
F: 40X11B(6)W(53.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Peter and Trent Didham )
Lovely mare and has returned from a spell to impress in winning both races, with gutsy performances on both occasions. Query is its ability over the 1400m
Next Best
9 Arabian Songbird
F: 114X4B(2)W(53.0)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Roger James & Robert Wellwood )
Will be much improved for its run three weeks ago and has drawn well. Masa takes over and helps its chances
Consider
10 Affirmative Action
Dividend : $1.90
Place
F: 00X42B(3)W(53.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Pam Gerard )
After looking like a class act, didn't meet those expectations as a 3yo. But liked its run last time and may be on its way back
Longer Odds
11 Checkmate
F: 354X6B(8)W(53.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Another one that never realised its potential from its early career but we know how this stable prepares its gallopers, so not without a chance

Top Pick
10 She's A Dealer
F: 15X93B(2)W(57.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Roger James & Robert Wellwood )
Has always looked a mare that would progress with age and this could be its season. Was only a neck behind Waitak here two weeks ago and, now third up, the step up to this trip is just perfect
Main Danger
1 Waitak
Dividend : $3.20, $1.40
Won
F: 92X01B(4)W(59.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Such a class act and in winning the Howden two weeks ago, it took its earnings past the $2m mark. Looking to go back to back in this race
Next Best
2 Tuxedo
Dividend : $1.35
Place
F: 53X52B(6)W(59.0)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Shaune Ritchie & Colm Murray )
Waitak has got the better of this 5yo on a number of occasions, but it was a tight finish last time and will be sure to run out the 2040m journey today
Consider
6 Atmospheric
F: 11X04B(12)W(59.0)
( J-Wiremu Pinn )
( T-Cody Cole )
Was right there at the finish in the Howden, when fresh up, so will be improved for that run and the extra distance might well just be what it needs to get its head in front
Longer Odds
7 Lupo Solitario
F: 12X85B(11)W(59.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Danica Guy )
Only two lengths behind Waitak and co here two weeks ago and now steps up to this distance for the first time. Could be the surprise package at good EW odds

3 Coulthard
Dividend : $5.50, $2.00
Won
F: 222X2B(3)W(59.5)
( J-Jonathan Riddell )
( T-Lisa Latta )
With seven seconds in its career, it should have won more than the two races, so can be seen to be well in here. Beaten less than a length when resuming and loves this distance
Main Danger
6 Origin Of Love
F: 31X64B(1)W(58.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Third up today, Te Kau have called up Craig Grylls and that's generally a good sign. Showed a lot of ability as a 3yo and with the rails draw today, might add to its winning tally
Next Best
12 Getaway
F: 42133B(9)W(56.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Kurtis Pertab )
Capable mare that came to win in the straight in a strong field two back, before being outmuscled. Won't be long in winning this campaign but wide draw to contend with today
Consider
7 Atavus
Dividend : $2.10
Place
F: 3121XB(10)W(58.0)
( J-Floor Moerman )
( T-Shaun and Hazel Fannin )
First run since June but has won a trial to prepare and this stable has a good record with fresh up runners
Longer Odds
9 Surround Sound
F: 214X2B(7)W(57.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-John Wheeler )
Selected this one a few times last season and expecting it to do well this campaign. Better for run four weeks ago and now up to its preferred distance
