  The 'Day's Best'

  

  3 Pick Up Artist  

  Dividend : $1.40

  Place

  F:   B(3)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Matthew Cameron )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  $40k stake money and just the four runners. And it looks going the way of the Te Akau 2yo, on debut. Interesting to see them bringing it to race day after just the one trial, a week ago, so it must be ready to go

  Main Danger

  

  1 Damhot  

  Dividend : $1.65

  Place

  F:   B(4)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Hyeontaek Oh )

   ( T- Chad Ormsby )

  On debut. Trainer on a hot run of form and generally has a terrific strike rate with fresh up runners anyway

  Won

  F:   B(1)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Corentin Berge )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  From a good stable and we note there's been good early support

  Consider

  

  2 Mighty Sovereign  

  F:   B(2)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Samantha Collett )

   ( T- Peter & Shaun McKay )

  Indications are that this one will be following the others home, but often the outsider wins in these small fields

  9 Djibouti  

  F: 43331   B(7)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Kelly Myers )

   ( T- Kurtis Pertab )

  Finally got its head in front at Te aroha two weeks ago when at its 1oth start. That will do its confidence no harm and Kelly Myers is riding as well as she ever did

  Main Danger

  

  2 Victor Tango  

  F: x4544   B(3)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- David Greene )

  The ability is there and has been close up in recent races. Steps up to 2200m for the first time so be interesting to see how it goes

  Dividend : $2.45

  Place

  F: 7x646   B(1)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Matthew Cameron )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Not far off Excite last time and that's good form. Rails draw

  Longer Odds

  

  11 Happy Venture  

  F: 495x7   B(2)  W(55.5)

   ( J- Kate Hercock )

  1 Bosetta  

  F: 3   B(3)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Elen Nicholas )

   ( T- Chad Ormsby )

  Just hard to go beyond this trainer's runners at the moment, such is his stable going. Looks to have ramped up the numbers

  Main Danger

  Dividend : $3.00, $1.35

  Won

  F: 557   B(5)  W(55.5)

   ( J- Kelly Myers )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Has gone well in its three runs so far and sure to be thereabouts, so chance can't be overlooked

  Next Best

  

  11 Le Fleur  

  F: 0   B(4)  W(55.5)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  As is often the case with this stable, it didn't show much on debut ... but you can be assured of an improved run today

  Consider

  

  5 Outer Banks  

  F:   B(6)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Kate Hercock )

   ( T- Steven Ramsay & Julia Ritchie )

  On debut and we know that this jockey, returning to the track, will get the best out of it

  Longer Odds

  

  3 Van Blanco  

  F: 48   B(1)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Matthew Cameron )

   ( T- Mark Brosnan )

  Place

  F: 1x3   B(3)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- Mark Brooks )

  Spelled after winning its only race in July and then less than a length away when resuming in a good field two weeks ago. Will be improved for the run

  Main Danger

  

  9 Saja  

  Dividend : $3.40

  Place

  F: 1   B(1)  W(55.5)

   ( J- Corentin Berge )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  Any galloper that wins on debut generally has good ability and this one won with a bit in hand when on debut at Tauranga, having won a trial rior

  8 Sibling Rivalry  

  Dividend : $7.50, $3.20

  Won

  F: 36x70   B(2)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Hayley Hassman )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Looked like having an exciting future in the early part of its career bit that never evolved. Can bounce back here, after there was clearly something wrong when it was tailed off at Trentham two weeks ago

  Consider

  

  1 Magic Carpet  

  F: 000x3   B(6)  W(60.0)

   ( J- Sam McNab )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Stephen Marsh runner and only win was in the Guineas as a 3yo. No depth in this field so a chance to be in the mix

  9 Dicko's Dance  

  F: 41   B(9)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Matthew Cameron )

   ( T- Darryn & Briar Weatherley )

  Looks to have its share of ability, with a gutsy effort to take it to them, in only its second start, last time and fought well to hang on. Can only be improved

  Main Danger

  

  14 Lark  

  F: 98x31   B(2)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  Got the result in a very close photo last time. This field has cut up badly through scratchings so now a winning chance

  F: 43312   B(4)  W(57.5)

  F: 349x6   B(5)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Kelly Myers )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  A winner of four of its 14 starts and nearly $500k in stake money, it will be a much improved galloper from its run three weeks ago

  Main Danger

  

  3 Tardelli  

  F: 0x544   B(7)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Sam Spratt )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Would be a fairy tail return for the popular Sam Spratt on her return. An improvement on its run against War Princess last time would put it right in the reckoning here

  Place

  F: x91x1   B(8)  W(53.0)

   ( J- Hayley Hassman )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Hard to think that this Te Akau runner won't be there at the business end after it won a R75 when resuming a month ago. Has won four of its 8 races and may add to that total here today

  Consider

  

  15 Cheerio  

  F: 125x1   B(10)  W(53.0)

   ( J- Matthew Cameron )

   ( T- Cody Cole )

  Competed well in Stakes company as a 3yo last season and showed it had trained on when winning fresh up

  F: 668x1   B(4)  W(53.0)

   ( J- Kate Hercock )

  10 Rocking  

  F: 13594   B(10)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Samantha Collett )

  8 Inside Out  

  F: x712x   B(7)  W(57.5)

  This Stephen Marsh runner has put in two nice runs this campaign. Up to 1600m now, it should go close

  17 Fairy Dream  

  F: 16x78   B(3)  W(54.5)
