Past Performance

She has been going tidy races prior to her strong second placing last start. Can go one better here

We have always rated this galloper and comes into today with a very good last start second in a nice sort of form maiden. Main danger

Must be considered after her very strong finish for second fresh up

I like this galloper and I think he will win a few races. A nice effort last start and we think is a must include in multiples

We can see this runner going nicely fresh up after finishing off strongly in a recent trial

We liked her chances last start and we are forgiving. She pulled up with a high heart rate and a poor white bloodcell count. We expect her to be better today and should run a strong race

She was good two back running a strong second then was wide last time. Can redeem

Freshened who has been running on strongly in her races in the Summer. Can run well today

A nice debut effort for fourth and is worth including in multiples here

Made ground last start over 1400m and ready for the mile

Strong trial before her good finish into third last start. The extra distance suits and looks very hard to beat

Racing in good consistent order of late and from a good draw he should do once again

Been ok in both runs over 1200m but must more suited to 1400m

Making South Island debut after some fair performances with the John Bary stable. Market is holding firm so far

Placed her over this trip last prep. Will enjoy the 1400m back to maiden grade and the ace draw.

I thought quite a bit of this gelding after his strong debut second here. Looked to come to the end of the prep after that debut run his next two runs were below par. The market is suggesting a good performance and these factors are enough to have him on top

Raced consistently in his first racing prep with 3 third placings in 5 starts. Strong trial win to prepare for today

The good ground is a concern here but was good 12 months ago and has trialed very strongly to prepare. Showed a good finish.

Been near the money all prep and gets Tina on board here

I thought his on speed trial to prepare was quite nice and can give cheek fresh here

I thought his big finish last start sees him a solid chance with a similar effort

I'm forgiving her first racing prep her trial was solid prior to debut and I think can produce a good effort fresh up

A better effort for second last time and can run another nice race here

A must include getting on his favourite ground when in the good range. Placed on all 3 goes on Good

He did very well when missing the kick last start for fourth. To include at the longer odds

Te Akau brought south three runs ago and form has been good. Might well have broken through for maiden win last start but for a tardy start and can put that right here

This one looks likely to be the quinella if it runs up to its last start. Albeit 3 1/2 lengths behind Can't Kach Me then, did get held up so entitled to get closer today

Went alright in the north before relocating to Andrew Carston stable. Looked to be more into its work in second start, last time, and has an improvers chance. Joe Doyle has been given the reins

A bit of value with this one, given it was finishing on against Can't Kach Me last start at big odds. Looks to be on the up

Another one we get a formline through Can't Kach Me, having been in behind at the finish then. Only second start so open to improvement

The result of Race 6 can be a pointer to this one's chances, given there were 4 runners there in behind it when it won here three weeks ago. Commanding performance that day suggests it will handle the up in grade

The key to this is the booking of Warren Kennedy, who inevitably gets the best out of them. First run at middle distance and that should suit

Yet to win since relocating south and was within a 1/2 length of breaking through last time. Worth following now

A decent type that can't be overlooked. But only the one win to date and the stats show it running second 6 times. A place is likely

Not prepared to leave the Doyle/Carston partnership out, especially after its nice run last start

Interested to see the Rae/Williams stable have opted for Joe Doyle here, when Lisa Allpress is the usual default. Runs well fresh up and inside draw assures it of every chance in running

Not letting this one go ... as Lisa Allpress is a good booking and rides well from the front. Strong stable

Only win was on the synthetic so maybe this firmer track will bring turn its fortunes around. warren Kennedy rides and short at the TAB, which both point to its chances

Strong reputation around the stable and has been running in R75's prior to last start. Underated jockey will see it gets every chance

While so many of the fancied runners have drawn badly, this front runner will be well suited by the rails draw. Chances depend on how race is run

Te Akau put the claiming apprentice up at Riccarton two weeks ago and tried this prolific winner from the front. Only just run out of it so expect to see more of the same today

Not far behind Perfect Scenario two back and impressed when winning in only run since. Joe Doyle sticks

Has been good in winning last two, making it 6 wins from just the 13 starts, and there will be more to come. But concern is that all wins have been on wet track conditions ... and failed when last tried over 1400m

Another Te Akau runner that has the form and ability and has to be considered. But also consider its best performances have been in the wet too

Won two back and never in it last time. Inside draw gives it a chance to bounce back

Joe Doyle has had success on this mare previously and has been called up again here today. Has drawn wide in last two, which has been challenging, but nicely placed for this

Although well beaten, the fact it ran in the Dunedin Guineas two back is testimony to the ability the connections hold it in. Subsequently won a maiden and with that confidence and rails draw to assist, could prove to be the EW value

Only the five runs but already a winner, finishing well over this distance. Terri Rae/Lisa Allpress always hard to deny and they're in with a big shout here

Close up in last three runs and really does look well placed against these. Good apprentice adds to chances with 4kg claim

Ex southerner now with the strong Andrew Carston stable. Drawn wide but showed it was capable when in the north and could surprise them in first run down here

This 4yo gelding looks an exciting prospect for the Wilson stable and, despite this being a very competitive race, we think it can complete the hatrick. Since winning a trial to prepare, it has put up two strong finishing performances after getting back from slow starts, so gate 9 shouldn't be an issue today

First run since November but judging by its recent trial, fitness won't be the issue. Ran home without being extended in that by Terry Mosely and he has the reins today

Northerner with a lot of ability and wasn't far way from a good type at Riccarton two weeks ago

Te Akau runner down from the north and has plenty going for it ... rails draw, Warren Kennedy and preferred track conditions so has to go in

Terrific effort when tried from the front last start and looks likely to be better over 200m less here. Wide draw the concern but good apprentice up
