Looked good in a trial before resuming, but never in it after drawing gate 12. Masa takes over today too
Main Danger
9 The Frenchman
F: 223x9B(4)W(58.5)
( J-Wiremu Pinn )
( T-Pam Gerard )
Better for fresh up run and, given its two seconds last campaign were at 2000m, this step up to 16000m today will be to advantage
Next Best
11 Ytoa
Dividend : $4.00, $1.70
Won
F: 32B(10)W(58.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Peter Lock )
Promising efforts in its first two runs but note they were both on Heavy tracks
Consider
12 Zampierra
F:B(12)W(56.5)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Moira & Kieran Murdoch )
Ran its best trial in these track conditions ... but wide draw on debut is the concern
Longer Odds
6 Rio Benito
F: 358B(11)W(58.5)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Shane Crawford )
This trainer/jockey partnership have a good strike rate, and could surprise now over 1600m

13 Dee Mack
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F:B(3)W(56.0)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-David Greene )
On debut after a winning trial. Not a lot to beat and trainer has two winners last weekend
Main Danger
1 Papparazzi
Dividend : $1.40
Place
F: 00x32B(6)W(58.5)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Pam Gerard )
Third up today and has looked a whole lot better this campaign
Next Best
2 The Spaniard
F: 0236xB(9)W(58.5)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Roger James & Robert Wellwood )
Five starts in its first campaign and now resuming after a 5 month break. Got better last time when stepped up to middle distance so this 1600m fresh up is ideal. However, has drawn wide
Consider
5 The Pen Is Mighty
F: 70289B(8)W(58.5)
( J-Bridget Grylls )
( T-Terry Powell )
Has the experience and looks capable of running a place at odds

Top Pick
10 Djibouti
Dividend : $3.40, $1.60
Won
F: 24333B(2)W(56.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Kurtis Pertab )
Has been close up in all of its nine starts, including 6 placings, and surely it breaks maiden now it steps up to middle distance for the first time
Main Danger
5 Boom Town
F: 49B(3)W(58.5)
( J-Tom Wigram )
( T-Donna Logan )
Three lengths behind Djibouti last start but that was only its second race so open to improvement. Good stable apprentice brings the 3kg claim again
Next Best
1 Rocky Balboa
F: 3x333B(10)W(58.5)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-G A & D G Rogerson & Clint Isdale )
25 start maiden that counts 9 placings among those. Connections have stuck with it but a place looks its destiny again today
Consider
4 Kinross
F: 6746B(4)W(58.5)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Shaun & Emma Clotworthy )
Given it was only just over a length behind Djibouti at Taupo last start, it has to be in the reckoning
Longer Odds
Best "Roughie"
7 Just Go Boom
F: 90990B(1)W(58.5)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Brent Gillovic )
Was actually not far off them at Taupo either and so the odds are relatively generous. Rails draw

Top Pick
1 Interplanetary
Dividend : $1.55
Place
F: x8481B(8)W(59.5)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Shaun & Emma Clotworthy )
After finishing close up in prior runs, after being stepped up to middle distance, it got the job done nicely last time at Ellerslie. Looks the type to go on with it
Main Danger
2 Mr Blackjack
Dividend : $5.50, $1.95
Won
F: x3169B(7)W(58.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Kurtis Pertab )
This 5yo has only had the 6 runs, winning once. Has raced like it needs further and gets that today
Next Best
10 Zacabasso
F: 0x308B(4)W(54.0)
( J-Rihaan Goyaram )
( T-Graham Richardson & Rogan Norvall )
This is a whole lot easier than the field it was up against last start, and third up today, we think it goes close
Consider
5 Jamaican Boy
F: 43365B(6)W(56.5)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Shane Crawford )
Better for run when taken to the CD two weeks ago and won't find many better opportunities than this
Longer Odds
9 Middle Khan
F: 07934B(2)W(54.5)
( J-Ashlee Strawbridge )
( T-Ray Gavin )
Albeit in a highweight, it did come to challenge last start, before being run out of it. Good apprentice takes the reins today

Top Pick
2 Cease And Desist
Dividend : $3.30, $1.45
Won
F: 937x0B(1)W(60.0)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Te Akau runner that's dropping back from R65 for this weak contest. With Opie now on the reins, we'll be surprised if connections don't take this Cup home
Main Danger
8 Lagisquet
Dividend : $1.90
Place
F: 40059B(8)W(57.0)
( J-Tom Wigram )
( T-Jenna Mahoney )
This is clearly easier than its last two runs at Te Rapa and, dropping back from R65, wit the 3kg claim, it's a strong chance
Next Best
3 Rock Ice
F: 8x504B(3)W(60.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Shaun & Emma Clotworthy )
Drops back from a run a 2000m twelve days ago and that's not ideal. But good stable says it should be in the mix
Consider
5 New Castle
F: 4700xB(4)W(59.5)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Michelle Bradley )
After looking promising early on, its form tailed off last campaign. Given time to freshen up over a 5 month break, it could go well fresh
Longer Odds
7 Mister Pucci
F: 95520B(7)W(57.5)
( J-Ace Lawson-Carroll )
( T-Gavin Opie )
An 8y now but it is a five time winner. If it ran up to anywhere near its best form, it would be winning

Race 6 - DONAGHYS PRO DAIRY MDN 1150
Time: 3:33 PM | Distance: 1150 m | Prize $ 18500
Top Pick
1 Aerial Impact
F: 7xB(6)W(57.5)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Te Akau runner resuming, having flagged its potential in its only run in June. Has impressed in two trials to prepare, winning the last, and stable has handed the reins to Opie
Main Danger
14 Withallmywish
Dividend : $2.80
Place
F:B(7)W(55.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Jenna Mahoney )
On debut, one of two from this stable, and with Masa riding and its superior draw, should be her best chance. Ran Kumara Straight close in its last trial and that one was a very impressive winner last weekend
Next Best
10 Blueprint Supreme
F:B(5)W(55.5)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Cody Cole )
Has shown itself to be capable and looks likely to be winning soon. Maybe not on debut though
Consider
5 Rossella
F: 6x22B(13)W(55.5)
( J-Tom Wigram )
( T-Jenna Mahoney )
Drawn wide but can't be overlooked, having been within a length of the winner in both runs this campaign
Longer Odds
11 Stanza
Dividend : $3.20
Place
F:B(4)W(55.5)
( J-Rihaan Goyaram )
( T-Sam Mynott )
On debut after impressing in winning its only trial. First runner for this stable in sometime

Top Pick
10 Zaharias
Dividend : $1.18
Place
F: 30x33B(1)W(54.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Drew gate 11 in Race 6 today, versus the rails here, so not surprised to see Te Akau opting for this race. Although still a maiden, it can be argued it has the best credentials of any runner in this, with 5 placings from its six starts, and has seen a lot of early money
Main Danger
7 Notabadbergs
F: 08897B(4)W(57.0)
( J-Elen Nicholas )
( T-Cat Burden )
Caught the eye when finishing to good effect at Taupo last time and, if able to run near the pace from its good draw today, could give them something to think about
Next Best
1 Smooth Warrior
F: 200x4B(11)W(60.0)
( J-Hyeontaek Oh )
( T-Dean Wiles )
Ran well at Taupo 12 days ago, when resuming, and will be improved for that. $kg claimer rides again
Consider
4 Ridgeview Vicky
F: 55178B(6)W(58.0)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Gavin Opie )
A winner three backs, both runs since have been in better fields at Te Rapa. Two time winner that could bounce back
Longer Odds
3 He's Classic
F: 0088xB(10)W(58.5)
( J-Krishi Ramdhun )
( T-Bruce Wallace & Grant Cooksley )
Three time winner resuming and would go close if running up to its best form in the past. 4kg claim

1 Foo Foo
Dividend : $3.50, $1.60
Won
F: 6x262B(2)W(58.5)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Alex Forbes )
Although its run second in two of its five starts, probably its best run was two back at Ruakaka when it ran sixth, but was less than two lengths from the winner. With Craig Grylls up today, it gets every chance to break its duck
Main Danger
9 Unmistakable
Dividend : $2.30
Place
F: x5546B(1)W(56.5)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
At $9, this Stephen Marsh runner is runner a bit under the radar. With stable jockey up and rails draw, it could be the EW value
Next Best
6 Ryusen
F:B(5)W(58.5)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Pam Gerard )
Pam Gerard trained runner on debut as a 4yo, having been given time. She is having a lot more running these days and needs to be followed
Consider
12 Succeszor
F:B(8)W(56.0)
( J-Corentin Berge )
( T-Tony Pike )
Tony Pike brings this 3yo to race day after four trials. Drawn a bit wide but chances can't be dismissed

14 Ragtime Rose
Dividend : $3.80
Place
F: 88B(3)W(54.0)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Debbie Sweeney )
Although 8th at Taupo last time, it wasn't far away and it was a competitive field. Drawn well and rates a chance

Best "Each Way"
7 Comaneci Gold
F: 550xB(10)W(56.5)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Performed well in Stakes company last campaign and now resumes out of the Stephen Marsh stable after a six month break. We wouldn't normally have it in as Top Pick with this wide draw, but its biggest dangers have also drawn wide
Main Danger
12 Lumumba
Dividend : $1.40
Place
F: 7x644B(7)W(54.0)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Cody Cole )
Just 3/3 length behind Shambo Jack last time, a galloper Stephen Marsh rates highly. Has looked a horse of potential in five runs to date and should be there at the business end today
Next Best
13 Baia Serena
F: 7B(11)W(54.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
Trainer's only runner here today. Good first up effort at Taupo after having won a trial prior, and improves

Dividend : $3.20
Place
F: 0x3B(9)W(58.5)
( J-Michael McNab )

Good effort when resuming seven weeks ago, despite it being a Heavy track. Comes into this fresh again today and track conditions to suit

F:B(4)W(56.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-G A & D G Rogerson & Clint Isdale )
This stable has been producing more winners since Clint Isdale joined the partnership. This one on debut with George Rooke up, who has ridden in all its trials
