Main Danger
5 Princess Grazi
Dividend : $1.80
Place
F:B(6)W(55.0)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Stephen Marsh brings this filly to race day after being unbeaten in two trials. The early money that it has seen would suggest its got the ability
Next Best
4 Aquila Veloce
Dividend : $6.50, $3.00
Won
F: 2B(2)W(55.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Peter & Shaun McKay )
Although the money for its stablemate, it finished the race off the better when on debut last time. Interesting that the trainers put them both in the same race again
Consider
1 Don Giuseppe
F: 3B(1)W(57.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Peter & Shaun McKay )
Nice first run at Hastings, finishing alongside its stablemate. There shouldn't be much between them again today
Longer Odds
6 Queen Jacqui
Dividend : $3.00
Place
F:B(3)W(55.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Lance Noble )
Small field and every runner looks a place chance, at least. On debut from a stable that has them ready

Dividend : $2.30
Place
F: 45122B(5)W(60.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Mark Brosnan )
A model of consistency and just outmuscled by the promising Monologue last time. Surely it gets a deserved win here, over the more suitable 2200m
Main Danger
3 Son Of Sun
Dividend : $2.10
Place
F: 990x0B(3)W(56.5)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Chris Wood )
Quality galloper that was never going to be a factor over 1500m when resuming, but was only 5 lengths away. Will find this 2200m more to its liking
Next Best
5 Santa Catalina
F: x8880B(6)W(54.0)
( J-Matthew Cameron )

Again, the stable has two runners but this one looks best. Drops back from WFA

8 Grocer's Girl
Dividend : $1.40
Place
F: 52x42B(3)W(55.5)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Tony Pike )
When it was an early 2yo, I recall Tony Pike saying it had a lot of ability. Has shown that in Stakes races and should be getting its first win today
Main Danger
1 Capital Express
F: 30x23B(7)W(57.5)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Paul Pertab )
After doing little in its first campaign, matured well over its spell and has gone close in both starts. Sure to be in the first three
Next Best
11 Ardrobelle
F:B(4)W(55.5)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
On debut from a good stable, after progressing to win the last of its four trials. Joe Doyle rode it at those trials and takes the reins today

6 Pilates
Dividend : $1.18
Place
F: 3x1B(8)W(58.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
After impressing in a trial prior, it was a hot favourite to win on debut in January but showed little. Immediately sent to the spelling paddock then and that looks to have paid dividends as it won with a bit in hand when resuming
Main Danger
5 Echannay
Dividend : $3.30
Place
F: 1xB(4)W(58.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Mark Brooks )
Won on debut back in July and they have to have a good ability to do that. Sure to have matured over its spell since and is at nice EW odds. Trainer had a winner yesterday
Next Best
2 Cosmic Dream
F: 3333xB(1)W(59.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Roger James & Robert Wellwood )
Rails draw for its first run in four months, gives it every chance. Consistently close up and placed last campaign and looks like repeating that formline now resuming
Consider
7 Rumours
F: 6x17xB(7)W(58.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Darryn & Briar Weatherley )
Resumes having won once from four starts prior. Has won a trial to prepare so chances can't be overlooked
Longer Odds
1 Acapelago
F: 204x8B(6)W(59.0)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Simon & Katrina Alexander )
Not far away when coming up a pretty decent field when resuming, so wouldn't be writing off it chances

7 Drops Of God
Dividend : $1.05
Place
F: 13x1xB(1)W(54.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
We think you can mark this smart Te Akau trained 4yo mare as the winner of this, not only because it's credentials make it better class than this field, but their stable representative was very bullish about its chances. Rails draw just perfect
Main Danger
2 December
Dividend : $2.60
Place
F: 2368xB(8)W(58.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Roger James & Robert Wellwood )
Must be wonderful to have a galloper like this in the stable as it has ability and is such a genuine performer, never far off them. Should be in the places on its return today
Next Best
1 Vegas Queen
F: 019x3B(5)W(60.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Kenny Rae )
Terrific campaign last time up and looked to have trained on with a nice third when resuming. There will have been improvement come out of that
Consider
3 I'm All In
F: 157x2B(4)W(58.5)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Won two trials before resuming last month and finished 1/2 length ahead of Vegas Queen. Better for the run
Longer Odds
4 Sindee
F: 0134xB(2)W(56.5)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Daniel Miller )
Resuming after 5 month spell. Beat Waimea Bay in a recent trial and that ne won, fresh up, last weekend

2 Crocetti
Dividend : $1.55
Place
F: 0x068B(5)W(62.0)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Danny Walker & Arron Tata )
Not beaten far in a G1 at Hastings four weeks ago and now looks close to its peak form. Preferred distance and good record at the track suggest it will go close
Main Danger
5 Top Shelf
Dividend : $2.50, $1.30
Won
F: 22x13B(4)W(55.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Has long been considered a galloper of ability and went some way to showing that in its last campaign. Third up today after two good runs and should be there at the business end
Next Best
4 Hasstobeawinner
Dividend : $2.35
Place
F: 713x4B(3)W(56.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Roger James & Robert Wellwood )
Probably a little underrated at this level but has won nearly $300k. George Rooke takes over from a 4kg claimer today
Consider
6 Savoir Faire
F: 1172xB(8)W(54.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Te Akau runner that will be wanting further but should sprint well fresh over this distance
Longer Odds
Best "Roughie"
1 El Vencedor
F: 848x0B(1)W(63.5)
( J-Abinith Simon )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Finished last in the G1 at Hastings a month ago but that can be excused. Will have improved a lot since and is a different class to these when right

Top Pick
5 Day One
Dividend : $1.45
Place
F: 514x1B(9)W(57.5)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Opie won on this Te Akau runner last month and it was some effort, being its first run for 8 months and carrying 60kg. Looked to have upside and can go on with it
Main Danger
8 Hidden Achievement
Dividend : $2.20
Place
F: 460x4B(7)W(57.0)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Australian import that had its first run in New Zealand two weeks ago and wasn't far away. Expect good improvement and at nice EW odds
Next Best
6 Aksil
F: 160x3B(3)W(57.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Simon & Katrina Alexander )
Ran in the Derby in March and subsequently spelled. Considering it will be wanting further, it was a good run into third over 1200m when resuming and could run well over this extra 1400m too, while fresh
Consider
9 War Queen
Dividend : $3.80, $1.60
Won
F: 223x9B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Kurtis Pertab )
Has had a freshener and has won in that state before. Craig Grylls is back in the saddle today
Longer Odds
4 Steely Man
F: 0530xB(5)W(58.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-J & R Vance )
A very gutsy performer in the past, it will probably be on the pace fresh up today and if given a soft run, look for it to be hard to get past

Dividend : $4.40, $1.85
Won
F: 41x37B(7)W(60.0)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Roger James & Robert Wellwood )
Very exciting proposition as a 2yo but subsequently, has found it hard to win in Stakes company since. Dropped back to R65 today it should see it back in the winners circle
Main Danger
6 Young Jackson
F: 55x30B(9)W(59.5)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Roger James & Robert Wellwood )
Having selected it in both its runs this campaign, only for it to disappoint, we don't want to let it go just yet. Has had a strong reputation
Next Best
3 Sneaky Cyclone
F: 27132B(8)W(60.0)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Daniel Miller )
Was tried at 2000m last start and put in a string effort to place. Opie sticks with it today and back to 1600m, it won't be lacking in stamina
Consider
8 Victor Tango
F: 4x454B(13)W(59.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-David Greene )
This trainers runners are just starting to how form and if this one can overcome the wide draw, it could return punters well at these odds
Longer Odds
4 Fastdeeldun
F: 02x05B(12)W(59.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
One of two Stephen Marsh has in the race and note he has called up Craig Grylls. Third up after showing much improvement last start
