Dividend : $1.90
Place
F: 55027B(5)W(57.5)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Sam Mynott )
Better judged on run two back. Warren Kennedy climbs aboard today and it could well lead them home
Main Danger
6 Egyptian Blue
F: 7X3B(1)W(55.5)
( J-Vinnie Colgan )
( T-S & E Clotworthy )
In a strong field for debut last September and didn't show. Judging by improved run for third when resuming, has developed over the break and with rails draw, is a contender
Next Best
2 The Patron Saint
Dividend : $4.00, $2.00
Won
F: 0336B(7)W(57.5)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
Stepped up to 2100m in January but, although favourite, was only an average run. Resumes and more suited to this distance
Consider
5 Rozel
F: 67432B(6)W(55.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Clinton Isdale )
Can't fault the form leading into this but is dropping back from the 2200m. with Michael McNab on the reins, might handle that
Longer Odds
3 Haller
F: NoneB(3)W(57.5)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Michelle Bradley )
Locally trained and on debut. Looks best of the 'roughies'

Top Pick
2 Flat Stanley
F: 63B(3)W(58.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Ken Harrison )
Much improved run, in only second start, last time and the extra 200m looks to be to advantage
Main Danger
1 Loose Change
F: 52365B(7)W(58.5)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )
( T-M & K Murdoch )
Is building to a win and that could well come today. Jasmine Fawcett rides the course well

Dividend : $3.50, $1.10
Won
F: 55B(5)W(56.5)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Michelle Bradley )
Both runs to date have been full of merit. Spelled after the last of those and likely to be much more developed for that. locally trained
Consider
5 Pure Delight
Dividend : $1.10
Place
F: 34232B(1)W(56.5)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Chris Gibbs )
Has the form, but its been over the middle distance. Freshened so might still test them from its inside draw
Longer Odds
7 Lady Hika
Dividend : $2.40
Place
F: X6X97B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Shane Simon )
Ran in a highweight a week ago so on the quick back up here. Another positive is the booking of warren kennedy

F: 5X955B(1)W(57.0)
( J-Tayla Mitchell )
( T-Clinton Isdale )
Tried from the front three weeks ago and run out of it the last 200m. This easier and rails draw likely to see it try the same tactics again
Main Danger
1 Super Time
F: 7549XB(7)W(60.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Ralph Manning )
Capable type resuming after 4 month break and trainer will have ready. Has won fresh up in a previous campaign. Joe Doyle rode in trial and sticks with it

5 Dancing Dream
Dividend : $1.70, $1.40
Won
F: 4920XB(6)W(56.0)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )
( T-Rae/Williams )
Yet to win in 15 starts but that's not representative of its ability. Six times second and two thirds is! Resumes after running in the South Island in previous campaign and surely can get a deserved win here, coming out of astute stable
Main Danger
12 Vita Amorosa
F: 77XB(2)W(56.0)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Chris Gibbs )
Clearly highly thought because only two races to date have been against Crocetti and co! Resumes after 3 month break

Dividend : $1.30
Place
F: NoneB(2)W(57.0)
( J-Matthew Cameron )

This is the one the early money has come for. On debut after being patiently handled, having won a trial as far back as August last year. Good draw

Place
F: 3B(4)W(57.0)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )

F: X3334B(5)W(59.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Ritchie/Murray )
Expectations have been there for this one to win in recent starts, but those runs have been a lot better company than this. Michael McNab is back on board and we're confident it will have too much ability for the others here

( J-Matthew Cameron )

what a gutsy win that was over 1200m at Pukekohe two weeks ago. Looked sure to be run out of it, after leading, but fought on too well. New trainer said he thought it needed the run so will be better today

1 Patsy Spirit
F: 11024B(2)W(59.5)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )

3yo gelding showing a lot of [promise in the south. Now on northern campaign and there's not much depth in this field so looks likely to be in a place

8 Volkner
F: 5B(4)W(56.0)
