What a performance to win over distance three weeks ago at Te Rapa; came from a long way off them and the produced a terrific turn of pace over the last 200m. Could be a bit special

Place
F: 22116B(6)W(60.0)

Mehzebeen
F: 16139B(5)W(55.0)

Place
F: 28243B(9)W(58.0)
( J-Ngakau Hailey )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
Good performance in Avondale Cup when on the pace and fighting on well for third. Had the benefit of Sam Spratt then and now ridden by claimer
Consider
Waisake
F: 373L5B(8)W(57.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Allan Sharrock )
9yo now and a great old campaigner. Was set for the Wellington Cup but unfortunately lost rider, but came back well last time to finish on nicely. Will need every metre of this 2200m
Longer Odds
Canheroc
F: 83130B(3)W(56.5)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Chris Wood )
Has always been high expectations for this galloper and they looked to be coming to fruition in the Wellington Cup, when it was unlucky not to win. Excusing run in Avondale Cup and think the combination of Matt Cameron on the reins now and a good inside draw can play to advantage

Top Pick
Lord Donovan
F: 111X2B(5)W(58.0)
( J-Kate Hercock )

Came of age last November when winning all three days over the Riccarton Cup carnival. Terrific run when resuming two weeks ago, just missing, and will be better for the run. Extra 100m to advantage too
Main Danger
Lilhoovesgotmoves
F: 50314B(8)W(59.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Bryce Revell )
Has come back an improved galloper and got up to beat Lord Donovan two back, before flying home from last to be beaten just over a length at Whanganui last time. The extra 100m will suit today

Top Pick
Bonny Lass
F: 32231B(6)W(56.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Richardson/Norvall )
That was some effort by this classy mare last time, when coming out of gate 12, leading and still fending off the opposition over 1400m. Drops back 200m here but should have the pace to repeat
Main Danger
Mercurial
Dividend :

Top Pick
Qali Al Farrasha
Dividend : $1.60
Place
F: X2231B(7)W(56.5)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Walker/Bergerson )
Five starts and just out of maidens last start. But what a dominant performance that was by this Te Akau runner. Opie rides, and runs have suggested it will be better over distance
Main Danger
Livid Sky
F: 73433B(8)W(56.5)
( J-Sam Weatherley )
( T-Stephen Autridge )
Clearly a big chance. Brings proven ability over the distance, and at 3yo Stakes level. Very unlucky behind Molly Bloom last start and that one would be short in the odds if in this today
Next Best
Moonlight Magic
F: 5233B(2)W(56.5)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
Just the four starts but has signalled that the ability is there. Andrew Forsman will have her spot on for this after a lead up race four weeks ago
Consider
Nepheti
F: 2181B(6)W(56.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Ritchie/Murray )
Caught the eye winning its maiden on New Years Eve. Expected it to follow up at New Plymouth next start but the heavy going proved its undoing. But back on track with a good win over 1600m two weeks ago and looks to be suited to the step up to middle distance

Positivity

( J-Masa Hashizume )

Another Andrew Forsman runner. Only five lengths off Molly Bloom when tried over middle distance for the first time, last start, and takes improvement.

Pericles
F: 71611B(2)W(57.5)

Place
F: 1B(8)W(55.0)
( J-Ryan Elliot )
( T-James/Wellwood )
Debuted at Taupo earlier in the month on the back of five trials. Came with reputation of being pretty capable and duly put them away at ease, as a warm favourite. Will have taken improvement
Consider
Ethereal Star
F: 87224B(1)W(55.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Andrew Forsman )

Tossuforit
F: 32474B(4)W(55.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
ever so consistent and drawn nicely. Looks the odds player
Unbeaten since resuming from a spell on New Years Day and has developed into a very mature galloper. Finds another gear when asked by Warren Kennedy and should run out the 1500m OK
Main Danger
Riodini
F: 74085B(9)W(59.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Nigel Tiley )
Thought it was a horse with improvement to come with the way it ran the last few hundred metres against Pour The Win two weeks ago. 7yo now but winner of over $1.3m and will be winning again soon

Longer Odds
Sergio
F: 10934B(3)W(56.0)
( J-Lynsey Satherley )
( T-Chrissy Bambry )
Central Districts trainer that generally doesn't venture far. She must like her chances with this one
What a beautiful filly this one is and, on its past performances, there can be only one winner. Revelled in the extra distance last time and there won't be any problem running out the 2400m. Take the shorts
Main Danger
Mosinvader
F: 71325B(4)W(57.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-O'Sullivan/Scott )

F: 11423B(6)W(57.0)
( J-Sam Weatherley )

Over from Sydney with former NZ trainers and they would have been very pleased with the way it finished on for third to Orchestral in the Avondale Guineas. Better settled in now and extra distance will be to advantage
