Hard to see this one beaten. Excuse run against Orchestral and co on Millions night and previous form in 3yo races was excellent. At this level, will be too good

Place
F: 1X564B(2)W(56.5)
( J-Warren Kennedy )

A winner in the last race of its last campaign, it has come back stronger and was just beaten by a promising type last time out. Warren Kennedy takes over

Won
F: NoneB(2)W(56.0)
( J-Ryan Elliot )

On debut after being patiently handled, having trialled as far back as May last year. Trialled well to prepare and nicely drawn in gate 2
Main Danger
9 Silkdegrees
Dividend : $2.40
Place
F: 53565B(4)W(56.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Phillip Stevens )
Has been coming home well in recent starts and hasn't had clear runs in last two when looking likely. This extra 200m will be perfect
Next Best
1 Billy Lincoln
Dividend : $1.60
Place
F: 045B(10)W(58.0)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Will be winning soon on what its shown but will find it tough from gate 10 here, and would want longer odds to risk it overcoming that
Consider
12 Luminosa Charm
F: NoneB(7)W(56.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
On debut from Andrew Forsman stable and definitely needs to be considered
Longer Odds
3 Lucy's Magic
F: 4348XB(9)W(56.5)
( J-Per-Anders Graberg )
( T-Tony Pike )
Resumed after looking promising last campaign. Swedish jock, new to the scene, takes the reins

12 Tomodachi
Dividend : $1.20
Place
F: NoneB(7)W(56.0)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-O'Sullivan/Scott )
On debut after winning two out of three trials, being very impressive in beating Irish Legacy here, by four lengths, three weeks ago. Top stable and the wide draw the only concern
Main Danger
11 The Sky Above
F: NoneB(9)W(56.0)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Walker/Bergerson )
On debut. We know it has a task on its hands from gate 13, but it is out of the Te Akau stable and was a nice winner at the trials

F: 5X9B(3)W(58.0)

10 Sweetpea

4 Spellcraft
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 66278B(11)W(59.5)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Walker/Bergerson )
Te Akau stable generally does well on this course and we think this one might be its best chance today. Both runs at middle distance have been respectable and Opie will see it gets every chance
Main Danger
1 Ranger
F: 02832B(1)W(60.0)
( J-Ngakau Hailey )
( T-Debbie Sweeney )
Looks likely to be in the first three. 7yo now that has won three and is running well, and now steps up to middle distance for the first time. Rails draw and 3kg claim
Next Best
8 Text Regrets
F: 96006B(5)W(59.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Wayne Hillis )

Consider
11 Logan's Logic
F: 04094B(6)W(58.0)
( J-Ryan Elliot )
( T-TeamRogerson )
Only a length behind Sentry last time so represents good EW value at these odds. Likes to do it from the front so dropping back 200m is OK
Longer Odds
14 Bellesgirl
F: 35802B(3)W(56.5)
( J-Lynsey Satherley )
( T-Thompson/Brown )
Really liked its run over this distance at Whanganui five weeks ago and looks the odds player here
