Plenty to like about this mare with 6 wins from just 11 starts. Resuming and has a good fresh up record
Main Danger
4 Saint Alice
F: X5131B(3)W(56.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-P & D Williams )
The Williams have had a good campaign with this 6yo mare but the concern lies around her dropping back from 2000m. But looks the biggest danger

Dividend :

F: 1X311B(5)W(56.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Won with a lot in hand two back and beat a good field in a R75 four weeks ago. We can see this one rising through the grades
Main Danger
1 Rudyard
F: 32131B(1)W(60.0)
( J-Sam Weatherley )
( T-Tony Pike )
Sam Weatherley rode Financier in its last two wins so will know how he stands against it today. This is not a bad substitute if it runs up to its last start win. Rails draw

2 Infer
F: 0X211B(14)W(59.5)
( J-Ryan Elliot )

Three runs this campaign, winning the last two with ease. That coincides with its move up to middle distance and we're going to see it progress further too
Main Danger
6 Aftermath
F: 36911B(8)W(56.5)
( J-Lisa Allpress )
( T-S & E Clotworthy )
Both wins in 10 career starts have been its last two races. Both over 2100m, this one too has a bright future

1 Son Of Sun
F: 34911B(2)W(59.0)
( J-Ngakau Hailey )
( T-Wallace/Cooksley )
Won second up this campaign at long odds and showed that to be no fluke when winning well here last Saturday, over 1600m. On the quick back up and that's a good sign
Main Danger
3 Hat Trick
Dividend : $4.40, $1.70
Won
F: 5X1B(6)W(58.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Tony Pike )
Warm favourite when going OK on debut last April, then spelled. Showed the benefit of that 10 months off when resuming with a quality performance to win over 1200m at Pukekohe and there's plenty of upside there. Extra 200m will suit
Next Best
4 Smokeshow
F: 22122B(1)W(57.5)

Top Pick
4 Captured By Love
Dividend : $1.30
Place
F: 1111B(6)W(55.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Walker/Bergerson )
Some quality gallopers in this field and luck in the running might have a say. This one looks to retain its unbeaten record and we like its chances. Recent racing an advantage over Velocious and it has a way of winning, as very good gallopers do
Main Danger
5 Velocious
Dividend : $1.60, $1.00
Won
F: 1131B(4)W(55.0)
( J-Sam Spratt )

Won like a very good horse on Millions night and that's its last race, six weeks ago. Stephen Marsh will have it fully tuned and it will go close

Place
F: 5X222B(6)W(59.5)

Three seconds this campaign and all within a 1/2 length of the winner. Leads and gets caught but expect Williams stable will have taken that into account since its last run
Main Danger
12 Wind Of Change
F: 2X143B(5)W(56.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Tony Pike )
Bolted in when resuming in November but never went on with it, even when a $1.33 favourite on New Years Eve. Spelled and expected to go well fresh up again

F: 64350B(8)W(57.5)
( J-Ulrika Holmquist )

F: 16235B(4)W(59.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Allan Sharrock )
Thought it was a terrific performance last time in the WFA Classic at Otaki, over a distance too short these days. With that preparation, will be cherry ripe for this and a serious place contender

F: 0X366B(5)W(59.0)

Ready for the step up to 2000m last time and, as expected, wasn't far away.

7 Mali Ston
F: 03834B(3)W(59.0)
( J-Sam Weatherley )
( T-D & B Weatherley )
Not too far away in its races this time up and it was a super run to be just 2 lengths off Legarto last start
This Stephen Marsh trained 4yo mare resumed from a 10 month spell to win its first two races in excellent fashion. At Matamata two weeks ago it got itself back in behind them and when finally looking to make a run, was checked out of it.
Main Danger
9 Slipper Island
F: 83645B(1)W(56.0)
( J-Sam Weatherley )
( T-Tony Pike )
Expect it would have won here last week but for being held up. On the quick back up, extra 100m and rails draw to advantage

Place
F: 63135B(11)W(57.0)
( J-Kozzi Asano )
( T-Guy Lowry & Leah Zydenbos )
Taken to Te Rapa four weeks ago and, after getting well back from its wide draw, powered home. But for being denied a clear run would have gone close. Would be rated higher today with a better draw
Consider
1 Mr Mojo Risin'
F: 3419XB(6)W(59.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )

5 Impresa
F: 45653B(5)W(57.0)
( J-Tayla Mitchell )
( T-Janenne Dalley )
Took it to them from the front at Matamata two weeks ago and it took two decent types to run it down. If getting a break, could be hard to pull back

F: 63192B(11)W(55.0)
( J-Masa Hashizume )

Asterix got up to beat this one close to home, here three weeks ago. Considering it came out of gate 18, it was a superb effort and we think it will run out the 3200m well
Main Danger

F: 12527B(2)W(53.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Walker/Bergerson )
Te Akau runner that ran a great trial for this last week in the Avondale Cup. Will love the 3200m, having run so well for second in the Wellington Cup, two back

F: X3791B(6)W(53.0)

12 Khan Hunter
F: 11254B(10)W(52.0)

( J-Kelly Myers )

We've been big supporters of this 6yo and think it might have won the Wellington Cup over this distance, but for being held up. The 2200m last time will have sharpened it up nicely for today's distance
