Top Pick
8 Valorious
F: 1700B(6)W(57.0)
( J-Ashvin Goindasamy )
( T-Walker/Bergerson )
One of two Te Akau runners in a weak field. Better for resuming run and much better value of the two at these odds
Main Danger
7 Sacred Dior
F: 64401B(9)W(57.0)
( J-Corey Campbell )
( T-S & M Smith )
Just the 6 runs and broke through for its maiden win last time. If it can get across lead, probably wins

1 Plenty O' Style
F: 63215B(10)W(59.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Walker/Bergerson )

Won
F: 47422B(1)W(57.5)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-John Blackadder )
Has been running terrific races, finishing strongly for second in its last two. Dropping back 200m here but with rails draw and Warren Kennedy taking over, should justify favouritism
Main Danger

Dividend : $1.40
Place
F: 8X259B(8)W(57.5)

Won
F: 0X685B(1)W(56.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )

Just behind Brancaster Bomber two back at Ashburton but was squeezed for room that day. Rails draw and Warren Kennedy takes over, adding to its chances
Main Danger
5 Tough Time
F: 8760XB(2)W(58.5)
( J-Yogesh Atchamah )
( T-Andrew Carston )

Good run for second in March and has since beaten Yoshime in a trial - and that one could frank that form if it wins Race 5

Dividend : $1.70
Place
F: X276XB(1)W(58.5)
( J-Gosen Jogoo )
( T-Leonard Stewart )
Useful ex northerner on debut in the south. Has joined the good Leonard Stewart stable so should be well prepared. Rails draw today

5 Snorkel
F: X0546B(2)W(58.5)
( J-Yogesh Atchamah )
( T-Leonard Stewart )
Another Leonard Stewart runner and you've got to like the way it's shaping, having shown a lot of improvement in its last two starts. Comes out of gate 1
Consider

Place
F: 42957B(8)W(58.5)
( J-Joe Doyle )

Longer Odds
8 Eforeffort
F: 60XB(5)W(58.5)
( J-Kylie Williams )
( T-M & M Pitman )
From the in form Pitman stable. Just the two runs to date, the last 15 months ago, so taken on trust, but astute trainers

Race 8 - EQUINE VETERINARY SERVICES MAIDEN 2200

Top Pick
5 Imperative
F: 06025B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Corey Campbell )
( T-B & S Anderton )
Lightly raced 4yo mare and best run to date was a second two back, when tried over 2000m for the first time. Middle distance races likely to suit it best and back there today. Jockey riding very well
Main Danger
4 Franni Caccini
Dividend : $5.60, $2.10
Won
F: 338X5B(3)W(56.5)
( J-Akshay Balloo )

Next Best
8 Eshay
F: 5X967B(5)W(56.5)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Jackie Burrows )
Joe Doyle rides and there's been a lot of early money for it. Trained in the north earlier in its career and has a bit of ability
Consider
6 Jazan
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 37803B(8)W(56.5)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-Danny Crozier )

Longer Odds
1 Reggie Ruler
F: 00956B(6)W(58.5)
( J-Brandon May )
( T-Andrew Carston )
Three runs since moving south and we thought it might have done better. Could show up at any time

5 Can't Kach Me
Dividend : $1.60
Place
F: 73321B(12)W(57.5)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Walker/Bergerson )
It took this Te Akau runner 12 starts to clear maidens but it was an emphatic performance when it left them to it at Ashburton three weeks ago. Has been improving each start and can go back to back
Main Danger

Dividend : $10.30, $2.90
Won
F: X6603B(5)W(56.0)
( J-Ashvin Goindasamy )

Next Best
2 Amazon Goddess
F: 88808B(3)W(58.5)
( J-Denby-Rose Tait )
( T-Kenny Moore )
On the quick back up from Saturday and they're seeing early money for its chances. Wasn't far away in that, a field that was stronger than this one
Consider
6 Silk 'N' Dale
F: 40862B(8)W(57.5)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-Danny Crozier )
Went a nice race for second at Ashburton when Our Millie Bee was behind but you'd have to think the placings will be reversed today
Longer Odds
3 Bad Flamingo
F: 37063B(2)W(58.5)
( J-Yogesh Atchamah )
( T-Andrew Carston )
Takes it to them from the front and gets the gate 3 draw to help that today. Nice third in good field last time and looks the odds player
