  Place

  F: 30x74   B(10)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- Lance Noble )

  Although fourth last time, it was in fact only 3 lengths behind a promising type, and that was a Stakes race. Can open account in this maiden

  Won

  F:   B(4)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Joe Doyle )

   ( T- Shaune Ritchie & Colm Murray )

  Main Danger

  

  10 Proteus  

  F: 27   B(15)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Barbara Kennedy )

  After running well into second on debut, went up against a quality Stakes field last time and wasn't far away. Just needs to overcome the draw, to test them

  Dividend : $2.20

  Place

  F: 4   B(9)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- Lance Noble )

  After two winning trials, it went to race day on the synthetic two weeks ago and finished fourth, less than 3/4 length from the winner. Improves for that but drawn very wide

  Consider

  

  4 Letswishuponastar  

  F: 0933x   B(13)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Masa Hashizume )

   ( T- Peter Lock )

  7 Born To Be Royal  

  F: 0x441   B(3)  W(54.5)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Te Akau called up Craig Grylls for this one's first run over 2000m last time and it duly won under a good ride. Has always offered potential and we'll see the best of it over middle distance now

  Main Danger

  

  3 Sacred Zed  

  F: 54161   B(1)  W(57.5)

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( T- Kevin Myers )

  Was sent to Kevin Myers after it didn't realise its potential in its first season. He has worked the magic to win twice, and you don't see his gallopers race at Ellerslie very often. Rails draw

  Won

  F: 5x843   B(2)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- David Greene )

  Ran in the Derby in March so this step up to 21200m today will suit a whole lot better

  Consider

  

  1 High Country  

  F: 19x07   B(7)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Sam McNab )

   ( T- Tony Pike )

  Tony Pike runner that has been expected to win a number of times, but now a 6yo has only won three. Third up today and could show

  Longer Odds

  

  8 Scaredoheights  

  F: x4613   B(8)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Masa Hashizume )

   ( T- Peter & Shaun McKay )

  Excellent first run over 2000m last time, to finish just 1/2 length behind Born To Be Royal. Relative odds to that one today makes it a good EW investment

  Won

  F: 2047x   B(8)  W(58.5)

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( T- Roger James & Robert Wellwood )

  Just the 6 runs as a 3yo but showed itself to be not far off Stakes winning ability, finishing thereabouts without threatening. One to watch it this spring and it could sprint well fresh today

  Main Danger

  

  1 Espadas  

  F: 36x08   B(3)  W(60.0)

   ( J- Joe Doyle )

   ( T- Shaun & Emma Clotworthy )

  Third up today, Joe Doyle now takes over from the apprentice. Drawn well and goes close

  5 Flashback  

  F: 146x5   B(7)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Similar performances as Waimea Bay last season, it will be better for its resuming run two weeks ago. Stephen Marsh/Michael McNab partnership always a chance

  Dividend : $2.05

  Place

  F: 4012x   B(5)  W(57.5)

  Place

  F: 21x54   B(5)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Ken Kelso )

  Third up today and needing this step up to the 2100m. Ran Astoria Brooke to two lengths last start and trainer said he expected it to go close at Rotorua last Sunday, only for that to be abandoned

  Main Danger

  

  4 Boxmoss  

  F: 11x56   B(4)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- Chris Wood )

  Has seen early money on the back of two close up finishes this campaign, confirming it had trained on well from last season. This distance ideal and finished just behind Levakia two weeks ago

  Next Best

  

  8 Just Charlie  

  Dividend : $2.40

  Place

  F: 6x006   B(8)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Wiremu Pinn )

   ( T- Kevin Myers )

  Astute trainer and seeing him bring this runner to Ellerslie peaks our interest. Wiremu Pinn is a good booking

  Consider

  

  12 Proboy  

  F: 123x7   B(10)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Samantha Collett )

   ( T- Cody Cole )

  Less than three lengths behind Astoria Brooke over 1600m last time, and that's good form for this - especially as it will find this distance more to its liking

  Longer Odds

  

  6 Gospodin  

  F: 30465   B(1)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Elen Nicholas )

   ( T- Jim Pender )

  Won

  F: 311x7   B(6)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

   ( T- Lisa Latta )

  Everything thing this one has done in its last three starts points to it taking out this Group 3. Lovely run in a G1 behind Well Written last month and now Opie takes the reins

  Main Danger

  

  2 Reward Smile  

  Dividend : $4.00

  Place

  F: 17162   B(3)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Masa Hashizume )

   ( T- Jenna Mahoney )

  For a galloper that has won over $1.1m, it does seem to be underrated. But has the ability and this isn't a particularly strong field

  Next Best

  

  6 Special Sakura  

  F: 172x7   B(9)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Chris Dell )

   ( T- Janelle Millar )

  Superb run when fresh up, behind Waitak three weeks ago, and that one has since franked the form last weekend. Concern is the wide draw and drop back from 1600m

  Consider

  

  9 Chatelle Rose  

  F: 0x111   B(2)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Joe Doyle )

   ( T- Fred & Lindsay Cornege )

  Has risen rapidly through the grades and now finds itself in a G3. But its running so well, it needs to be considered, especially for your exotics

  11 Perfect Chaos  

  F: 23x15   B(8)  W(50.0)

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Dividend : $3.10

  Place

  F: 513x7   B(13)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Sam McNab )

   ( T- Tony Pike )

  Highest rated galloper in the field, although 7th when resuming four weeks ago, it was in fact only just over two lengths off the winner. Will have made good improvement out and just needs to overcome the wide draw

  Main Danger

  

  6 El Viento  

  F: x243x   B(5)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Not much between the two Te Akau runners and they both rate strong chances. but Craig Grylls is in the saddle of this one and that could see it first home

  4 Talisker  

  F: 3x12x   B(1)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

  3 Queen Zou  

  F: 1500x   B(8)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  1 Hawea  

  F: 43x11   B(12)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Wiremu Pinn )

   ( T- Graham Richardson & Rogan Norvall )

  This one's turn of foot remains fresh in our minds here and there's no reason why it shouldn't run out the 1400m today, to remain unbeaten. Just needs to overcome the barrier draw but Wiremu is a jockey for the big races these days

  Main Danger

  

  5 Asturia  

  Dividend : $7.50, $2.70

  Won

  F: 12   B(8)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

  10 Shalabiya  

  F: 123   B(6)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

   ( T- Danny Walker & Arron Tata )

  Although only beaten a length when odds on favourite last time, it was a bit disappointing so it needs to lift a bit. But it showed, on debut, it has a bit of the X factor

  Consider

  

  2 Liguria  

  Dividend : $2.80

  Place

  F: 412x2   B(5)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- Lance Noble )

  F: 4x51   B(2)  W(56.5)

  F: 212x4   B(7)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- David Greene )

  Will be much improved for its resuming run two weeks ago, when outfinished by the fitter Afterglo over this distance. Better than R75 class and could be in for a good campaign

  2 Towering Vision  

  F: 7x361   B(8)  W(60.0)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

  F: 131x2   B(9)  W(57.5)
