  Place

  F: 26x22   B(15)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Yogesh Atchamah )

   ( T- Sandy Cunningham )

  Has really improved with maturity and has now run three seconds in its 8 starts, two of the in this campaign. Taking it on the assumption it can overcome the wide draw

  Main Danger

  

  13 Never Too Much  

  F: 27x53   B(1)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Wiremu Pinn )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  F: 84x23   B(3)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Bridget Grylls )

   ( T- Anna Furlong )

  Consider

  

  6 Admiralty  

  F: 0x   B(4)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Terry Moseley )

   ( T- Brian Court and Jesse O’Flaherty )

  Only the one start, when well in the market, last March and now resumes. Has to be considered given it won two trials before its debut

  F: 345   B(6)  W(56.5)

  4 Balance Of Power  

  F: 43214   B(7)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Hayley Hassman )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Te Akau have looked their stable apprentice to get the job done, over this extended 3000m journey. Showed them a clean pair of heels in a R75 two back and only 3/4 length away in an Open last time

  Main Danger

  

  3 Canheroc  

  F: 30542   B(2)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Jack Taplin )

   ( T- Michael & Matthew Pitman )

  Ex northerner that looked to have a lot of potential over the middle distance a few seasons back. Didn't evolve and now finds itself in the Pitman stable. That rates it a good chance in this

  5 Henry Thomas  

  Dividend : $1.40

  Place

  F: 2x699   B(6)  W(54.5)

   ( J- Lisa Allpress )

   ( T- Sophie Hargreaves & Naomi Murfitt )

  After three runs this campaign, it will be fit enough and we now it will run out the journey

  Consider

  

  1 Prince Alby  

  F: 56427   B(1)  W(59.5)

   ( J- Liam Kauri )

   ( T- Kelvin Tyler )

  Amazing to think this 11 time winner is racing in a field like this. Kevin Tyler knows how to place them

  Longer Odds

  

  2 Vamos  

  F: 29481   B(9)  W(59.5)

   ( J- Kendra Bakker )

   ( T- Kelvin Tyler )

  Kevin Tyler also runs this good handicapper. Comes off a last start win and will be a sight, stretching them out in front

• Top Pick

  

  2 Van Maison  

  F: 4   B(9)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Triston Moodley )

   ( T- Kenny Rae )

  One of two very good chances for this trainer, and this one is the 'value'. Went out well supported on debut four weeks ago, after looking good in winning its trial, but things didn't go to plan. This good apprentice sticks

  Main Danger

  

  1 Super Accord  

  Dividend : $1.26

  Place

  F: 2   B(1)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Bridget Grylls )

   ( T- Kenny Rae )

  This Kenny Rae runner was also well backed on debut and beat its stablemate by nearly five lengths, just missing in a photo finish. Better for the experience and hard to beat

  Next Best

  

  5 Reina De Fuego  

  Dividend : $8.50, $2.40

  Won

  F:   B(3)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Floor Moerman )

   ( T- John & Karen Parsons )

  This stable also has two runners in this $50k race and we liked the look of this one in the trials, having won its last two. The inside draw positions it better than Coronada

  Consider

  

  4 Coronada  

  Dividend : $1.50

  Place

  F: 1   B(11)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Rohan Mudhoo )

   ( T- John & Karen Parsons )

  A very nice run to wino debut last month and will be improved for the experience

  Longer Odds

  

  8 False Queen  

  F:   B(10)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Tom Wigram )

   ( T- Robert Dennis )

  On debut without trials but has been backed down from an opening $23. Stable is flying

  14 Paper Moon  

  F: 5321x   B(12)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Hayley Hassman )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Looks to be between the two Te Akau runners and hard to know which one will be winning. But we did like the way this one finished off its campaign with its maiden win in May and it will have developed over its spell since. Hayley is riding well

  Main Danger

  

  7 Queen's Evidence  

  Dividend : $3.70, $1.75

  Won

  F: 465x5   B(1)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Wiremu Pinn )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  It may have only won two of its 12 starts but it would have won more if it hadn't run in Stakes company as a 3yo. Recent run will have it in good shape for this

  Next Best

  

  11 Lilly  

  Dividend : $2.40

  Place

  F: 080x4   B(9)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Yogesh Atchamah )

   ( T- Ross Beckett )

  Just behind Dorothea last time but it was resuming on that occasion, and will be improved today

  Consider

  

  4 The Big Picture  

  F: 5x575   B(4)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Tom Wigram )

   ( T- David Walsh )

  David Walsh runs two and this one could be the best of them, benefitting from this talented apprentice and his 3kg claim

  Longer Odds

  

  8 Willit  

  F: 009x3   B(2)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Jasmine Fawcett )

   ( T- John Blackadder )

  Three time winner that finished ahead of The Big Picture last time, so the relative odds are good. Improver

  5 Honor The Name  

  Dividend : $6.00, $2.25

  Won

  F: 13113   B(11)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Tom Wigram )

   ( T- Samantha Wynne )

  Sam Wynne has transitioned from top jockey to trainer with ease over the last year and she has a talented 5yo mare to enhance her reputation further. Went terrific here at the Winter Cup meeting and its recent run back from a spell with have it nicely tuned up. 3kg claimer rides

  Main Danger

  

  12 Casino  

  F: 8185x   B(3)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Triston Moodley )

   ( T- Terri Rae )

  Lisa Allpress always got the best of Terri Rae's rides but we feel she might have been usurped by this talented apprentice today. And this former northerner, on southern debut, will surely be hard to beat

  Next Best

  

  15 Phazed  

  F: 0x415   B(9)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Ashlee Strawbridge )

   ( T- David Walsh )

  This Te Akau runner has a good winning percentage, having won five of its 15 starts, and after its resuming run, will be a fitter horse today. Was 3 1/2 lengths behind Honor The Name when they met in August

  Consider

  

  7 Miss Ziggy  

  F: 44x26   B(5)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Yogesh Atchamah )

   ( T- Andrew Carston )

  As honest as they come and never far off the winner. Rates a place chance, so one for your exotics

  13 Larius Lacus  

  F: 09x51   B(2)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Leah Hemi )

   ( T- Krystal Williams )

  Has improved with age and could go on with its win when resuming three weeks ago. Inside draw and Leah is on the reins again

  The 'Day's Best'

  

  15 Graffiti Artist  

  Dividend : $1.90

  Place

  F: 5x573   B(2)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Wiremu Pinn )

   ( T- Sarah & Matthew Smith )

  As big as this field is, there's not a lot of capability in these runners, when analysed. This 4yo mare is showing all the right signs, and benefits from the talented senior jockey as well as the inside draw

  Main Danger

  

  5 One True King  

  F: 0x042   B(4)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Hayley Hassman )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Again we look to Te Akau's runner in this one and it's heading in the right direction, having improved in all three runs this campaign. Hayley rides from a nice draw

  Next Best

  

  10 Corcaigh  

  F: 61042   B(11)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Ashlee Strawbridge )

   ( T- Emma Wyatt )

  This one offers some value, especially with Ashlee on the reins. A talented apprentice, she is flying right now and despite close up finishes, is paying $10

  Consider

  

  8 Vendabelle  

  F: 123x6   B(10)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Leah Hemi )

   ( T- Anna Furlong )

  Putting this in because we rate the trainer, and she will have it spot on for this after its recent run

  Longer Odds

  

  16 Voguish  

  F: 33416   B(17)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Jack Taplin )

   ( T- Michael & Matthew Pitman )

  This one caught the attention of many earlier in the year but never really progressed. Resuming from a spell, it could be in the mix

  Dividend : $2.90, $1.40

  Won

  F: 26x31   B(4)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Wiremu Pinn )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Having being beaten just a neck in a Stakes race two back, it went out as a hot favourite to win its maiden three weeks ago and did so in style. Te Akau have a very progressive filly here, capable of winning this G3

  Main Danger

  

  7 Platinum La Danse  

  Dividend : $2.10

  Place

  F: 61525   B(6)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Bruno Queiroz )

   ( T- Lisa Latta )

  Less than 1 1/2 lengths away in the Hawkes Bay Guineas last time, it has some decent types behind it, including Asturia. That's decent form for this

  Next Best

  

  5 So Fear  

  Dividend : $1.70

  Place

  F: 7x851   B(1)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Courtney Barnes )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Stephen Marsh's runners are always to be respected and although this is tougher, it bolted in in a $65k race at Hastings last time

  Consider

  

  3 Omega Sprint  

  F: 41   B(2)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Hayley Hassman )

   ( T- Lance Robinson )

  Looks the best of the southern runners, but has only had the two runs to date. With Hayley taking the reins, its chances are improved

  Longer Odds

  

  8 Sheza Professional  

  F: 31   B(3)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Leah Hemi )

   ( T- Terri Rae )

  Only won a maiden last time, at its second start, but does look to have plenty of upside. Good trainer/jockey combination

  1 Mystic Park  

  Dividend : $5.00, $1.90

  Won

  F: 78x61   B(7)  W(62.0)

   ( J- Jack Taplin )

   ( T- Michael & Matthew Pitman )

  Mention this 7yo's name in front of Michael Pitman and you'll find him waxing lyrical about its ability and the races it has in front of it. And judging by hits recent win, he's probably right. The 2kg claim helps its chances

  Main Danger

  

  5 Iron Hawk  

  Dividend : $1.28

  Place

  F: 12x13   B(2)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Triston Moodley )

   ( T- Lance Robinson )

  Without a doubt, a big danger. Maybe a bit disappointing two weeks ago, it is drawn well today and will appreciate the return to 1400m

  Next Best

  

  3 Witz End  

  F: 108x3   B(10)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Leah Hemi )

   ( T- Terri Rae )

  Terri Rae has got this former capable galloper back to its old self since it relocated south and it was only 1 1/2 lengths behind Mystic Park when resuming

  Consider

  

  12 Dream Of The Moon  

  F: 249x8   B(12)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Hayley Hassman )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Once again, we revert to the chances of a Te Akau runner but, although it has 4 1/2 lengths to make up on Mystic Park from four weeks ago, it will have come on for the run. Wide draw doesn't help its chances

  Longer Odds

  

  9 Iffididit

  Place

  F: 2849x   B(1)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Yogesh Atchamah )

   ( T- Anna Furlong )

  Very honest 7yo resuming. There's no depth in this field so a place is definitely in the offing, from its rails draw

  8 Smiling Eyes  

  F: x1211   B(3)  W(53.0)

   ( J- Yogesh Atchamah )

   ( T- Robert Dennis )

  Has been a revelation since joining this stable from the north and it's a very exciting prospect. Was amazed with its with two back when up to Open company, not in the fact that it won, but in the 'way' it won

  Place

  F: 2Dx11   B(6)  W(53.0)

   ( J- Wiremu Pinn )

  F: 40x32   B(5)  W(57.0)

  F: 13428   B(7)  W(60.0)
