Place
F: 48B(6)W(57.0)

Place
F: 7X474B(3)W(58.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-O'Sullivan/Scott )
Only win in 6 starts was on the heavy last year so that was a very encouraging effort by this one here 2 weeks ago to finish on strongly on a Good 4. That was its first run at a middle distance too
Main Danger
6 Centenario
Dividend : $2.10
Place
F: 8241B(7)W(57.5)
( J-Michael McNab )

F: 4B(5)W(55.0)

Top Pick
1 Zabmanzor
F: 51162B(12)W(57.0)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-James/Wellwood )
But for getting checked at the start and dropping back, we think it would have won the Levin Classic last start - and this is easier. Should like the step up to 2000m for the first time and just needs to overcome wide draw.
Main Danger
3 Renegade Rebel
F: 5X211B(8)W(57.0)
( J-Matthew Cameron )

Came off a nice win over 1600m to lead them and win on Ellerslie's opening day three weeks ago, when stepped up to 2100m

Te Akau runner that showed big improvement when finishing strongly to win last time, having been stepped up to 2000m. That was only its third start so lot of improvement still to come
