Only a 5 horse affair but a tricky one with 5 2yo's on debut. But this one looked advance when winning its trial well two weeks ago and has the country's lead jockey to guide her

Nice debut to be beaten less than a length in April, when brought south for experience. Resumes from spell after that and sure to have be improved and isa is a good booking

Didn't do anything when resuming but did win a trial at Waipa at the end of May, and on that ability can place here in a weak field

Went OK on this track a year ago but hasn't shown up since, until three weeks ago when not far away in a good field. Could go on with it

Unlucky when resuming here two weeks ago, with the nod of the head going against it. That was its first run for a year so will have taken a lot of improvement

Stable has brought a number of runners to the meeting and this might be the best of them. Best run was at the last of its first campaign last November and looks to have stepped up in the spell judging by its trial win at Rotorua. Nice draw

Drawn a bit wide but how can you leave this trainer out of the possibilities. Terrific strike rate and will be better for first run from the stable

New to the Kevin Myers stable and he does have a knack of turning their performances around. Interesting to note Lisa Allpress onboard as from the same track but doesn't ride many of his runners

The key to this one's chances is the booking of Warren Kennedy. Owns a bit of ability with two wins and 6 seconds on its CV and is looking good since stepping up to 1600m

Promising 4yo with just the five runs to date, progressing nicely to win the last of those. Just got the better of a capable one in Ever Charm and won't be far away today

Very surprised this one hasn't won by now, given its ability, and has been runner up six times from just 16 starts. Beaten by a double figure winner last start and now reverts to the turf - and noted that Warren Kennedy has stuck with it

First two runs were very promising and then never in it from wide draw at Wanganui last time. Looks likely to enjoy the step up to middle distance and on the quick back up, a good sign
