Top Pick
13 Miyazawa
F: 28X13B(3)W(57.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Peter Didham )
Bolted in when resuming and unlucky not to back that up when being held up when having more, at New Plymouth last start. Gives the impression that the step up to 2100m will be perfect
Main Danger
11 Herbert
F: 02251B(15)W(58.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-John Wheeler )
This could be a galloper on the up, after securing a nice win under an apprentice having her first ride last time. Craig Grylls rides now and extra distance to suit
Next Best

Place
F: 50242B(10)W(59.5)
( J-Lisa Allpress )

The 'Day's Best'
1 Just As Sharp
Dividend : $1.10
Place
F: 58324B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Ryan Elliot )
( T-TeamRogerson )
Second to Orchestral over distance two back and then fourth behind her in the Derby, while the second has gone on to win a big race in Australia. That formline says this colt should win this with a bit in hand
Main Danger
10 Moonlight Magic
F: 23356B(5)W(55.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
Must be the best maiden around right now. Superb run in behind Pulchritudinous last start rates its chances of placing highly
Next Best
4 Monday Melody
F: 03689B(10)W(57.0)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-O'Sullivan/Scott )
Has been running in good company all season. Astute stable and in this with a big chance
Consider
12 Sheaf
F: 92378B(8)W(55.0)
( J-Vinnie Colgan )
( T-Kevin Myers )
Not too far behind Pulchritudinous either last time and this shorter distance more to its liking. Very good trainer will have it spot on
Longer Odds
3 Investigate
Dividend : $2.50
Place
F: 83231B(6)W(57.0)
( J-Sam Weatherley )
( T-Tony Pike )

2 Apostrophe
Dividend : $3.50, $1.40
Won
F: 97292B(8)W(57.0)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-James/Wellwood )
Has looked like it would be better over more ground and gets its chance today. Top run last start to prepare for this
Main Danger
9 Val Di Zoldo
F: X5533B(1)W(56.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Tony Pike )
Just beaten at Ellerslie four weeks ago and one of the better chances here. Rails draw and Michael McNab to ride
Next Best
8 Diss Is Dramatic
F: 34061B(2)W(56.5)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Lisa Latta )
Lisa Latta is the trainer for the big moment and the stable is going well at the moment. She presents this 4yo mare as a last start winner and you've got to like its chances
Consider
1 Kelly Coe
F: 16800B(3)W(57.0)
( J-Lisa Allpress )
( T-Ashley Meadows )
Although its recent form isn't up to much, I think it has more ability than the others, so goes in
Longer Odds
7 Bad 'n' Bouj
F: 02270B(5)W(57.0)
( J-Wiremu Pinn )
( T-P & S McKay )
A stable that often gets a winner on their trips to Trentham.

Top Pick
2 Skyman
Dividend : $1.90
Place
F: 05046B(2)W(56.0)
( J-Sam Spratt )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
After an excellent performance behind El Vencedor and Legarto at Ellerslie two back, it was dropped back to 1600m last start. That will have sharpened it up nicely for this and Sam Spratt is down here to ride
Main Danger
1 He's A Doozy
Dividend : $2.30
Place
F: 99451B(7)W(58.0)
( J-Jonathan Riddell )
( T-Lisa Latta )
Probably doesn't get the credit it deserves but it is in fact a winner of 9 races from just 22 starts. A winner over 1600m here four weeks ago, and a 6 time winner on the course, Lisa Latta has chosen this race to step it up to 2100m and that should be heeded
Next Best
5 Dark Destroyer
F: 50505B(8)W(55.0)
( J-Lisa Allpress )
( T-D & B Weatherley )
Best run for a while for this classy galloper and can improve further to be in the mix
Consider
3 Arby
F: 45842B(5)W(55.5)
( J-Sam Weatherley )
( T-D & B Weatherley )
We always looked a bit closer at a Weatherley runner when Sam is riding for the stable. Lovely run last time and must be included
Longer Odds
6 Aotea Lad
F: 44337B(9)W(55.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Walker/Bergerson )
Has been running well again this campaign and looks the odds player here

Top Pick
7 Velocious
F: 11311B(1)W(55.0)
( J-Sam Spratt )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
What a terrific field and what a quality filly we have here, heading the betting. already a G1 winner, this looks well within her compass, the only concern is the track conditions, as she'll manage the extra 200m OK
Main Danger
9 Captured By Love
Dividend : $1.40
Place
F: 11113B(3)W(55.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Walker/Bergerson )
Also a winner of four from five, it's only defeat came at the hands of Velocious last time. Hard to see it turning that around on that run but it we do know it handles the heavy

2 Move To Strike
Dividend : $14.30, $3.70
Won
F: 125B(8)W(57.0)
( J-Wiremu Pinn )
( T-Walker/Bergerson )
Te Akau runner and the 'talking horse' prior to its first start win. It has unravelled since then but ran a comfortable second in recent trial and trainers may have it back to its best
Consider
8 Archaic Smile
F: 51152B(7)W(55.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Tony Pike )
Has to go in on recent formlines. Beat Captured By Love when second to Velocious last time and extra 200m will be to advantage
Longer Odds
5 Red Sea
Dividend : $3.70
Place
F: 2541B(9)W(57.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
Looks to have a lot of potential and won its first race last start. Warren Kennedy rides, having ridden Captured By Love last time

Best "Each Way"
5 Our Echo
Dividend : $1.90
Place
F: 86211B(6)W(54.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Danny Frye )
Southerner on a hatrick after impressive win over 1200m here three weeks ago. Has a good record over the 1400m and with Joe Doyle taking over the reins, it looks the value bet
Main Danger
8 Petrucci
F: 51245B(11)W(53.0)
( J-Vinnie Colgan )
( T-Walker/Bergerson )
Te Akau runner that was just two lengths behind our Echo last start, when finishing the race off well. Extra 200m gives it a chance of turning that advantage around
Next Best
3 Tavattack
F: X2581B(1)W(55.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Allan Sharrock )
7yo now but showed it still is at the top of its game with a win over 1200m at Otaki, last start. Rails draw and course/distance winner at this extra 200m three times, it looks sure to be hard to beat
Consider
11 Provence
Dividend : $2.40
Place
F: X1161B(10)W(53.0)
( J-Sam Spratt )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Although its won three of four starts this campaign, and checked out of it in the other one, this is a step up. Could well take the next step though

F: 74013B(7)W(58.5)
( J-Jonathan Riddell )

8yo now but a grand campaigner over the years. Very honest and consistent and can foot it with these today

Top Pick
15 Wet 'N' Wild
F: 1X662B(11)W(54.5)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Cody Cole )
Third up last time over 1400m and pushed a very promising type to under a length. Only run at 1600m was in May last year when a winner, so the extra 200m should not be an issue
Main Danger
1 Lantern Way
F: 135X7B(7)W(59.0)
( J-Jonathan Riddell )
( T-Lisa Latta )
Very highly tried last campaign and proved itself very capable. Beaten here by a quality field when resuming and will be better for the run
Next Best
10 He's A Battler
F: 6X0X1B(9)W(56.0)
( J-Vinnie Colgan )
( T-Suzy Gordon )
A 6yo but only seven runs to date, winning two of them. The last was when resuming here four weeks ago and it put them away by four lengths, suggesting it's come back a lot stronger
Consider
9 Lincoln Falls
F: 44851B(13)W(56.5)
( J-Sam Spratt )
( T-Lisa Latta )
Stable in form and this one a last start winner. Sam Spratt takes over from an apprentice and she's riding in career best form
