5 Luxuriant
F: 324X6B(7)W(58.0)
( J-Tayla Melvin )
( T-Walker/Bergerson )
We liked its chances last week but it got off the pace a bit and was finishing on at the finish. Better for the run and gets the 4kg claim

11 Kai Moana
Dividend : $3.70, $1.70
Won
F: 53563B(2)W(54.0)
( J-Matthew Cameron )

Top Pick
9 Detain
F: NoneB(10)W(55.5)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Margaret Falconer )
While there a couple of runners showing up OK, it's unlikely they'll measure up to this one on debut. Super impressive winning only trial by 4 1/2 lengths, it only has to overcome the draw
Main Danger
2 Hanginbyathread
F: NoneB(3)W(57.5)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Cody Cole )
Progressed to win last trial, of three, with Joe Doyle up and now he rides on debut
Next Best
1 Poetic Justice
F: 227B(2)W(57.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Tony Pike )
Tony Pike runner than started off career with two tidy runs for second. Resumes after 3 month break
Consider
8 Not Straight Laced
F: 428B(5)W(55.5)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Walker/Bergerson )
Hard not to consider a Te Akau runner on its home track, especially with the country's leading rider on the reins
Longer Odds
3 Navy Chief
F: 875X5B(8)W(57.5)
( J-Billy Jacobson )
( T-Nicholas Bishara )
Resuming run after a three month break was eye catching and looks the value in what looks like an open affair

Top Pick
10 Santa Catalina
F: 53B(1)W(54.0)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-P & S McKay )
Up to 1600m here last week at only its second start and took it in its stride, being only a length away at the finish. Rails draw today and hard to beat
Main Danger
8 Final Impact
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 53684B(10)W(57.5)
( J-Niranjan Parmar )
( T-P & S McKay )
Tried over 2000m last time and finished on well, testimony to its ability. Back to more suitable 1600m today and a real chance
Next Best
11 Campaldino
F: 7B(4)W(54.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Cody Cole )
Five length winner of trial before debut at Hawera 5 days ago. Things didn't urn out well and is on the quick back up at good EW odds
Consider
7 Mars
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 30039B(9)W(57.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-B & R Foote )
Already a winner from just 9 starts, it did well after getting back over 1400m last time. Think its better running near the pace so place probably best from wide draw
Longer Odds
1 The Green Keeper
F: 15097B(7)W(59.5)
( J-Joe Doyle )

Excuse run 9 days ago when caught wide. Will do better today

Dividend : $2.60
Place
F: 330XB(4)W(57.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Cody Cole )
Signalled its ability in three races last spring before being spelled. Will be stronger now and with a trainer that has them 'ready to win' when appearing on race day.
Main Danger
10 Mi Bella
F: 90X23B(12)W(57.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Richardson/Norvall )
Has gone a whole lot better in two runs back from a spell and with Warren Kennedy up, looks a strong chance. Needs to overcome draw but might be place to be with a wet day forecast

5 Zantabulous
Dividend : $1.70
Place
F: X8441B(10)W(56.0)
( J-Wiremu Pinn )
( T-Walker/Bergerson )
Drawn wide and dropping back 200m but the key to this is the Wiremu Pinn booking. He's riding well and rates the so well that he can build on its commanding win last time at Te Rapa. Twice a winner on track
Main Danger
13 Nigella Lane
F: 2X66XB(13)W(54.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Ralph Manning )
Having won here on The Ugly Sister, Michael McNab now opts for this one fresh up. Can win if overcoming wide draw
Next Best
14 The Ugly Sister
F: 2X211B(4)W(54.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Paul Pertab )
Clearly has the ability and won here two back before being too good for them at Otaki. But both wins were in the heavy and that leaves a slight question
Consider
3 Neighbourhood
F: 5X215B(6)W(57.0)
( J-Masa Hashizume )

Top Pick
20 Lovaci
F: 44XB(6)W(56.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Two nice runs for the Stephen Marsh stable last year before being spelled. Looked forward when winning trial and just needs to overcome wide draw
Main Danger
11 Mapalicious
F: 582X3B(2)W(56.5)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Cody Cole )
As with other stable runners right now, this one ran really well when resuming to be beaten just over 1/2 length into third. With natural improvement, is a big chance here, with inside gate to advantage
Next Best
6 King William
F: 3X4B(5)W(58.0)
( J-Sam Spratt )
( T-Eamonn Green )
This 3yo has shown enough in two starts to suggest it could be better than average as the races go on. Sam Spratt rides

F: 63XB(1)W(56.5)

Longer Odds
5 Patch
F: NoneB(3)W(58.5)
( J-Triston Moodley )
