F: 2549xB(3)W(56.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Conor and Sarah Fahy )
Pretty impressive in its last campaign when finishing not far off Ohope Wins, the second of them in the Oaks. Resumes from subsequent spell and early money suggests it has made good progress

Place

( J-Rihaan Goyaram )
( T-Ralph Manning )

F: 545x6B(7)W(56.5)
( J-Matthew Cameron )

Only just over two lengths away when resuming at Taupo. The 1200m was far too short and better positioned today

Dividend : $2.45, $1.28
Won
F: 329x3B(1)W(57.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Roger James & Robert Wellwood )
Nice run to finish less than a length away when resuming. Not only will it be improved for the run, this extra 200m and rails draw are to its advantage
Main Danger
1 Crimson Sky
F: 0x870B(7)W(57.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Simon & Katrina Alexander )
Finished a bit off them 11 days ago but the winner then looks to be pretty smart. Scratchings add to its chances here though
Next Best
4 La Danza
Dividend : $2.60
Place
F: 20x94B(5)W(57.5)
( J-Wiremu Pinn )
( T-Darryn & Briar Weatherley )
Two good runs this campaign and now Wiremu takes the reins. Should be in the first three
Consider
11 Te Rina Aurora
F: 76B(6)W(55.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Barbara Kennedy )
Although a $45 shot when second up, it was only 2 1/2 lengths behind Kumara Straight two weeks ago, and that one has a good reputation
Longer Odds
8 Unmistakable
F: 55463B(9)W(57.5)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Stephen Marsh runner that gives the impression it wants more ground, and gets it here

Top Pick
12 Rhaena
F: 4B(1)W(54.0)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
Won its last two trials prior to debut so was well supported on debut. Will come on for that experience and does look EW value with its inside draw
Main Danger
1 Sir You Can Dance
Dividend : $1.55
Place
F: 2282xB(8)W(58.5)
( J-Corentin Berge )
( T-Cody Cole )
Three seconds in its first campaign and now resumes. Trainer is now back into the swing of things too and it just needs to overcome the wide draw
Next Best
10 Fatal Affair
F: 55xB(9)W(54.0)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Both runs, back in the autumn, were in Stakes races so clearly well thought of. Another one that has to overcome a wide draw
Consider
6 She Means Business
F: 444xB(7)W(56.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Te Akau runners are performing well right now and this one will be sure to be well advanced for its return
Longer Odds

Dividend : $3.70
Place
F: 75B(5)W(54.0)
( J-Tom Wigram )
( T-Stephen Marsh )

Won
F: 48xB(3)W(58.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Tony Pike )
Tow nice runs in its first campaign and then spelled. It looked to have matured well when winning a trial to prepare
Main Danger
10 Bourbon Time
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 0383xB(8)W(54.0)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Only a length behind Excite in its last run back in May, and that reads well now. Wide draw the only concern
Next Best
8 Lady Eglinton
F:B(9)W(56.5)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Cody Cole )
Good odds on debut, having won its only trial and wit this trainer/jockey combination
Consider
1 Boomstruck
Dividend : $2.50
Place
F: x5393B(12)W(58.5)
( J-Tom Wigram )

Would be rated higher but for drawing gate 14. But this apprentice is good and may overcome that
Longer Odds
6 Canis Major
F:B(11)W(58.5)
( J-Lynsey Satherley )
( T-Shelley Hale )
On debut having won one of its four trials. Early money suggests its better than its trial form would suggest

Top Pick
Best "Each Way"
1 Delete Delete
F: 3B(2)W(57.5)
( J-Courtney Barnes )
( T-Ben & Ryan Foote )
This should be good for this gelding. A winner of two trials prior, it ran as favourite on its debut at Rotorua in a Stakes race, two weeks ago
, and was beaten only two lengths. Dropped to maiden company today and improved for the experience
Main Danger
6 Rossella
F: 6x22B(11)W(55.5)
( J-Tom Wigram )
( T-Jenna Mahoney )
Promising runs to date and on a line through Spellbound, has the better form than Delete Delete, but will find the wide gate a challenge
Next Best
4 Parfait Dimanche
Dividend : $8.00, $2.60
Won
F: 38x49B(3)W(55.5)
( J-Wiremu Pinn )
( T-Donna Logan )
After running in Stakes company last campaign, its now third up this time and looks ready to show up

3 News
Dividend : $3.20
Place
F:B(12)W(57.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Bruce Wallace & Grant Cooksley )
On debut and will be doing well to win from this gate but Michael McNab will certainly add to its chances
Longer Odds
9 Cosi Bella
F:B(9)W(55.5)
( J-Elen Nicholas )
( T-Barbara Kennedy )
This trainer has been a bit quiet of late but she's good and generally has them ready to compete on debut

13 Convinced
Dividend : $1.60, $1.09
Won
F: 802x2B(2)W(58.0)
( J-Corentin Berge )
( T-Benjamin King )
This 4yo mare is an exciting prospect for this young trainer. Put up against the best 3yo's in Stakes company last season, it just missed when resuming at Ellerslie and with that run under its belt, it should be winning its second race from 6 starts today
Main Danger
3 Opressor
F: 1439xB(8)W(59.5)
( J-Ace Lawson-Carroll )
( T-Danny Walker & Arron Tata )
This 5yo won on debut before being spelled but then failed to win in three starts in the autumn. Resuming now, this stable will be sure to have it going well and a big chance
Next Best
1 Fleeting Star
Dividend : $1.55
Place
F: 2445xB(6)W(60.0)
( J-Joe Nishizuka )
( T-Graham Richardson & Rogan Norvall )
Resuming from nearly five months away from race day, if it has trained on, we'd expect it to be there at the business end today
Consider
2 Oberon
F: 15042B(1)W(60.0)
( J-Jack Taplin )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
With not much depth in this field, this Stephen Marsh runner should be thereabouts. The rails draw helps its cause
Longer Odds
9 Petite Rocher
F: 68x31B(9)W(56.5)
( J-Hayley Hassman )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
There's not much between the rest of the runners in the field but at least this Te Akau runner comes into it on the back of a winning run

F: 30150B(4)W(60.0)
( J-Ashlee Strawbridge )

A winner of a R65 three back, its two runs up a grade since have been against stronger fields than this. Talented apprentice is in the saddle today
Main Danger
9 Passion 'N' Pride
F: 29x21B(1)W(56.5)
( J-Cooper Stumbles )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Went to the line for a nice win last time, under a very composed ride from this young apprentice. With the 4kg claim again today, it's sure to be in the shake up

Place
F: x1035B(3)W(56.0)

Consider
4 Rock on Ozzy
F: 78814B(9)W(58.5)
( J-Tom Wigram )
( T-Ceton Pool )
At long odds last start, it finished close up and beat a few of these runners in the process. Apprentice brings the 3kg claim again
Longer Odds
8 Cheerful Smile
F: 28610B(11)W(56.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Jenna Mahoney )
A winner two back, it found the field too strong at Te Rapa last start. This easier
