  F: 6   B(18)  W(57.0)

  F: 07x3   B(5)  W(57.0)

  6 Enterprise  

  F: 0001x   B(4)  W(57.5)

  F: 8x423   B(7)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Something of an open contest here but we're looking to the Te Akau team to get the win. Stable rep gave this one out as their best of the weekend last week, only for Ashburton to be abandoned

  Main Danger

  

  6 Dorothea  

  F: 03234   B(6)  W(57.5)

  F: 11x41   B(1)  W(53.0)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Te Akau/Michael McNab might hold the keys to winning this race. It won down here four weeks ago and now third up today, with the rails draw a real bonus

  12 North England  

  F: x0x0x   B(3)  W(53.0)

   ( J- Triston Moodley )

   ( T- Lance Robinson )

  Import from Australia on its New Zealand debut today. Having won two of its seven starts, its showcased its ability here to win both trials to prepare

  Won

  F: 11x71   B(11)  W(60.0)

   ( J- Bruno Queiroz )

   ( T- Lisa Latta )

  Very progressive this year and has impressed in winning both its starts this campaign, to take its earning past $530k. Bruno is back on and has to be a big chance but the wide draw over 1000m is the concern

  Consider

  

  10 Honor The Name  

  F: 31131   B(8)  W(53.0)

   ( J- Masa Hashizume )

   ( T- Samantha Wynne )

  Can't be left out of calculations, coming into this after a stylish win two weeks ago. Masa is a great booking, riding at the top of his game this season

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Samantha Finnegan )

  Northerner down and we liked its first up run at Te Rapa two weeks ago. Lightly raced with only the 9 starts, it has a bit of class and Craig Grylls rides

  Won

  F: 98x12   B(7)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Joe Doyle )

   ( T- Terri Rae )

  Just a 1/2 length behind Charmrose last start, and we rate that in Race 6, this one has to go in. Joe Doyle is a jockey for these big races

  5 Dream Of The Moon  

  F: 49x88   B(9)  W(55.0)

  10 The Precursor  

  F: 6x914   B(4)  W(53.0)

   ( J- Masa Hashizume )

   ( T- Roger James & Robert Wellwood )

  Although nearly four lengths adrift of Top Shelf, not only was that a far stronger field than this but it had dropped backed from 2000m the previous start. Progressive and shouldn't find the 2400m an issue

  Main Danger

  

  1 Rosso  

  F: 0x325   B(11)  W(59.0)

  F: x6823   B(3)  W(54.0)

  F: 3451   B(2)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Floor Moerman )

   ( T- Kevin Myers )

  Finished its race off strongly here two weeks ago, winning its maiden, and looked the type to go on with it. It's rare that Kevin Myers doesn't pick up a winner or two when travelling south from Whanganui

  Main Danger

  

  5 Hammer  

  F: 145   B(1)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Yogesh Atchamah )

  F: 121   B(3)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  The feature of the day and this filly does look like the winner. Finished strongly to take out the Soliloquy at Ellerslie three weeks ago, making it two wins from three starts, and the 1600m today should suit it even better

  F: 4x513   B(9)  W(56.5)

  F: 5x914   B(1)  W(56.5)
