Looking to complete the hattrick of wins today. Impressive winning at Trentham last start

Good performance in the Remutaka Classic last time and just beaten here two back. Rates the main danger

Drops in grade from recent racing where he has been running on nicely. We are expecting a good performance from him today

Last win was nearly 2 years ago in the Lowland but has raced in good company since the small field should mean she will produce a good run today

Broke maidens nicely here two back who then was solid into fourth in the Remutaka Classic. Drops in grade and looks a nice each way chance

Finished off strongly last time and is ready for 2060m today. Main danger

Found the line nicely last time over the mile suggesting the extra distance suits

This stable is coming back into form and local senior ride rides to add the value

He was a little unlucky last time here when third and is over the odds

Strong debut win at Tauherenikau then went close at Matamata last time. Looks the one to beat

Money was on and impressive on debut here. Main danger

From a great family half to Darci La Bella Tavi Mac and Darci Mac. Won nicely on debut

Good breaking maidens fresh who was tidy enough last start at Trentham. Worth including

1200m suits this mare. Found the line nicely last time and we expect her to get back and run on.

Drops in grade from Group 3 racing last time. I like her weight in this race and think she can win today

Had a lot of excuses last time in the Telegraph when wide then smashed by the riderless horse in the straight. Class drop

Back to 1200m which he won impressively fresh up. Chance off that performance here

Up in grade here but we thought that was a good run at Trentham, given the slow beginning

Good run last time for second at Trentham. Chance here at longer odds

Very good debut for third when hitting the line nicely. With the blinkers going on, she looks hard to beat

Class drop from Trentham last time who was good in third fresh up

On speed runner who has two third placings from three starts. Low draw and McNab on both pluses

Start 50 today but has 21 top 3 placings. Doesn’t know how to win though

Found the line at Trentham nicely suggesting the extra distance suits. Longer odds hope

Only the one win but has been consistently paced. Looks to us like its needing further and that gets a great chance here, in what is a weak field. Local jockey has been handed the reins again

Trained locally and will be better for recent run. Held form well when fit last campaign

Apart from a run at Hastings, has been close up in all starts this campaign, and won here last time. We like its chances today

Forget last start when in a strong conditions event. Fought well to get up over 1400m at Trentham prior, after leading. Would be rating higher but for the wide draw

Seen finishing to good effect when resuming and now up another 200m. Rails draw to advantage

Despite no trial form, was well supported on debut, suggesting it had been going well at home. Didn't disappoint in finishing third in a good field and takes improvement

Trained nearby and second up. Won trial prior to debut and expected to go close but ran green and never really settled into stride. Nice draw and will be a better horse today

Has performed well in 3yo stakes races and recorded 4 seconds from its six starts. Local jockey Lisa Allpress takes over today and is a strong chance if running out the 1600m. Inside draw helps

Went some nice races, without threatening, in first campaign. Resumes from break with encouraging third and likely to be thereabouts today

Got back here 4 weeks ago and never a winning chance. Good draw today and we like the booking of Joe Doyle

Came off a nice win in its only trial to win stylishly on debut at Hastings. Looks like a very good prospect and with improvement and the inside draw, don't really want to be on anything else

Down from the north and will find this easier. Has been running well and looked the winner last time until outrun by a very promising type

Performs well on this course, being a long priced winner here four weeks ago. Likes to lead, and having drawn gate 3 here, gets that chance again

Not far away in three runs up north, without threatening. Was three lengths behind Khafre last time. Only the one win but 7 times runner up in previous campaigns! Rails draw

Have liked the chances of this one in recent races and went well here two back. Forget last run when too wet. Trainer has turned to Joe Doyle to get it home and he might well do

Trained in New Plymouth by a stable in form right now, Allan Sharrock, and they have a very nice horse here. Was given time and only debuted here in November, as a 4yo, and has won last two of its three starts. Came wide up the straight to haul back the leader at Trentham four weeks ago and likely to continue its winning ways here

Locally trained by good trainer. We think its pretty cable too so look for it finishing strongly

Stepped up to 2300m in Manawatu Cup last start and went OK. This easier but is also dropping back to 1600m. But just has to in, in this grade

Finished last here at 'odds on' four weeks ago. Never going well at any stage. Local trainer Kevin Myers will have it back on track and it can't be left out of reckoning

Both runs this time in have been over 1400m. Think it needs at least this 1600m and booking of Craig Grylls is to advantage
