Place
F: 78228B(14)W(56.5)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-M & M Pitman )
Checked and little chance to recover two weeks ago so better judged on its run two back, when in good field. Will be hard to beat on repeat of that

Dividend : $1.70
Place
F: 203X5B(12)W(58.5)
( J-Terry Moseley )

Caravella
Dividend : $4.80, $2.30
Won
F: 13120B(2)W(54.5)
( J-Kozzi Asano )
( T-Walker/Bergerson )
Te Akau runner that will find this easier than the opposition up north, particularly last time when behind Financier and Jaaffri (winner since). Less than a length behind the winner n all three previous runs so the ability is there
Main Danger
Stella Splendida
Dividend : $2.70
Place
F: 71106B(3)W(58.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Walker/Bergerson )
This Te Akau runner looked likely to rise through the grades, the way it won when resuming. But has tended to disappoint, as was the case last time. Warren Kennedy rides and and could well beat its stablemate
Next Best
Golden Harvest
F: 04695B(7)W(57.5)
( J-Kylie Williams )
( T-M & M Pitman )
Pitman runner that has been running better than formline would suggest

Dividend : $2.50, $1.30
Won
F: 11891B(5)W(56.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Terri Rae )
A Terri Rae trained one/two here? Want's further these days but has been freshened and we're siding with this one by way of the fact Joe Doyle rides
Main Danger

Dividend : $1.70
Place
F: 01152B(4)W(57.5)
( J-Yogesh Atchamah )

Dividend :
Place
F: 03X44B(1)W(60.0)
( J-Abdul Najib )
( T-Stephanie Faulkner )
Winner of nearly $1.2m and still a win or two there, one would suggest. Third up here and a strong place contender today from rails draw
Consider
Lord Darci
F: 84330B(2)W(58.0)
( J-Kozzi Asano )
( T-B & R Wilson )
Tough run last time and drifted off. Looks better chance than the others in the field
Longer Odds
Jewel Of Patch
F: 54000B(3)W(54.0)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )

Top Pick
Thee Auld Minx
F: 65644B(2)W(56.5)
( J-Courtney Barnes )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Two good runs since resuming and ready to show its best. Interesting to see Stephen Marsh has now put Courtney up and should get the ideal run from gate 2
Main Danger
Contemplation Bay
Dividend : $3.60, $1.70
Won
F: 25B(14)W(56.0)
( J-Ulrika Holmquist )
( T-Anne Herbert )
3yo filly with just the two runs and is showing a lot of potential. Hard to beat and would have been our top pick with a better draw
Next Best
Yoshime
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 34742B(10)W(56.5)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )
( T-John Blackadder )
Six starts and a mixture of 'leading' and also getting back and 'finishing'. Looks like it will be the latter from this draw and that probably offers it its best chance
Consider
Keep It Loose
F: 27674B(6)W(58.5)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-McKay/Harrington )
Resuming after four previous runs. Terry Moseley rode to place in recent trial and is up to, and that can produce a better result
Longer Odds
Luv Rosay
F: 49006B(4)W(56.0)
( J-Gosen Jogoo )
( T-John Blackadder )
Albeit only sixth last start, it was its best run to date and not a bad effort

The 'Day's Best'
Aristocrat
Dividend : $2.90, $1.50
Won
F: 13261B(5)W(58.0)
( J-Kylie Williams )
( T-Terri Rae )
Terri Rae runner that stepped up to 2000m at Riccarton a fortnight ago, and Kylie Williams was confident from a long way out. Progressive and owns a lot of ability and this R75 should be taken in its stride
Main Danger
Patsys Lass
F: 14273B(7)W(59.0)
( J-Terry Moseley )
( T-Eamonn Green )
On the quick back up after finishing just over a length behind the Mayor Of Norwood last Saturday. Has to go in
Next Best
Demand Respect
F: 19X54B(3)W(57.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Lyn Prendergast )
Warren Kennedy takes over and might turn out to be the favourite's biggest danger
Consider
In Vegas
F: 41235B(4)W(59.0)
( J-Corey Campbell )
( T-Centaine Spittles )
Just behind Patsy's Lass last time and that's a good formline
Longer Odds
Amazon Goddess
F: 15402B(6)W(55.0)
( J-Ulrika Holmquist )
( T-Kenny Moore )
It took an excellent performance by Aristocrat to beat it last Saturday so has to be rated a chance here, and backing up quickly is a good sign

Main Danger
Descaro
F: 0665B(9)W(56.0)
( J-Corey Campbell )
( T-Rae/Williams )
Just the four runs and defied the 66/1 odds last time when finishing to good effect at Riccarton. Like its chances with that experience and the extra 200m

Dividend : $2.20
Place
F: 23745B(7)W(58.5)
( J-Terry Moseley )

You could make a case for a few of these and this one could be there at the finish, as its running its races out well.
Consider
Pierrogrine
F: 03368B(12)W(58.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Kennedy/Furlong )
Has been running well without looking like winning. Drawn wide but Joe Doyle rides and that's worth a few lengths
Longer Odds
Reggie Ruler
F: 0X300B(6)W(58.5)
( J-Kozzi Asano )
( T-Andrew Carston )
Ex northerner having first run for strong Andrew Carston stable. Will find it easier in the south

The Arctic Blast
F: 04029B(11)W(57.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Andrew Carston )
Have picked this one a few times and its gone close, or disappointed. Sticking with it as think it has the ability. Drops back to 1600m today but does have Warren Kennedy up
Main Danger
Lombardi
Dividend : $2.00, $1.20
Won
F: 433X3B(1)W(60.0)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-Bruce Smith )
Middle distance runner that ran well fresh up at Riccarton. Up another 200m here and it's the big danger with rails draw to advantage and Tina taking over
Next Best
Caitlyn Jay
F: 88856B(5)W(57.5)
( J-Yogesh Atchamah )
( T-Andrew Carston )
Has to be in the mix as there isn't much else that stands out. Has been finishing on over 1400m so this 1600m should be suitable
Consider
Royce Roca
F: 00990B(12)W(56.5)
( J-Kylie Williams )

Goes in on the back of Kylie Williams down to ride.
Longer Odds
You Have Seen
F: 52200B(10)W(57.0)
( J-Samantha Wynne )

Doesn't have the form to rate its chances but has a good jockey and the extra distance might produce something, in an open field

Place
F: 56524B(1)W(59.5)

Main Danger
Our Milly Bee
F: 140X6B(11)W(56.5)
( J-Joe Doyle )

Te Akau could quinella this. Warren Kennedy rode last time but it doesn't lose anything with Joe Doyle taking over
Next Best
Diagon Alley
F: 05202B(12)W(58.0)
( J-Ulrika Holmquist )

Place
F: X2421B(6)W(59.0)

Big run from wide gate last time and coming from the back to be beaten just three lengths. Corey Campbell is having a great run and might get another win here
