  Won

  F:   B(2)  W(55.5)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- Tony Pike )

  They say 'money talks' and this one on debut has seen that since the opening. Tony Pike's runner impressed in winning its trial and will clearly be hard to beat

  Place

  F: 32453   B(7)  W(55.5)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

  Consider

  

  2 Boombox  

  F:   B(1)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Tony Pike )

  Another Tony Pike runner and looks a good prospect in its own right, with winning trial form

  1 Curzon Park  

  F: 622x   B(6)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Rory Hutchings )

   ( T- Kurtis Pertab )

  Dividend : $1.40

  Place

  F: 8x331   B(3)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  After two good runs since returning, put them away with ease at Tauranga last start. Plenty of upside here and can go back to back

  Main Danger

  

  5 Tomodachi  

  Dividend : $2.60, $1.70

  Won

  F: 117x1   B(6)  W(55.5)

   ( J- Masa Hashizume )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  Returned in good style six weeks ago and is the obvious danger. Drifting in the betting and that might suggest it needs this run. Great to see Masa back in the saddle

  2 Dazzled  

  F: x5216   B(4)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

• Top Pick

  

  1 Our Time  

  F: 6212   B(13)  W(60.0)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Peter Lock )

  Yes it has a wide draw but that can be countered by the booking of Michael McNab taking over the reins. Certainly showing good ability and it was only beaten by a much improved galloper last time. Up to middle distance now should be to its liking

  Main Danger

  

  4 Steely Man  

  F: 31455   B(5)  W(59.5)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Lynda German )

  Just the one win but looks likely to be winning more. Not far off Orchestral two back and that is the best formline here and then just over a length behind Our time last start. Might not be far off again today

  Next Best

  

  10 Ramblin' Rose  

  F: 30523   B(11)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Joe Doyle )

   ( T- Darrell Hollinshead )

  Last two runs have been terrific, especially its last start when finishing on resolutely after getting back early

  Consider

  

  9 Quick Fire  

  F: 34341   B(2)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Joe Nishizuka )

   ( T- Kylie Fawcett )

  Much better than the opposition when winning over 2100m at its first attempt last start.

  4 Tanganyika  

  F: x4512   B(8)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Masa Hashizume )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  Smart 4yo from the O'Sullivan/Scott stable and seems to run well with its races spaced out a little. Can bounce back to winning form with their top jockey returning from injury

  Main Danger

  

  5 Grande Gallo  

  F: 001x1   B(5)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Kevin Stott )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  Stable has a strong hand with this one in the field as well. Not only did it win fresh up, but it did so in beating a smart type in Irish Legacy

  Won

  F: 2211   B(3)  W(56.0)

  In the first two in all four starts to date, including winning its last two. Progressive

  Consider

  

  9 Koheroa  

  F: 5x217   B(10)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- Barbara Kennedy )

  Loved its performance two back so was surprised at its disappointing run last time. Too good to leave out of reckoning

  How exciting is this Derby contender. Steps up to 2100m today and should take it in its stride to win this G2

  15 Hinekaha  

  F: 1321   B(11)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

  Dividend : $1.60

  Place

  F: 44111   B(7)  W(53.0)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- Lance Noble )

  On a four timer and hard to deny it its chance. Showed good fighting ability to get home three weeks ago and Warren Kennedy on the reins can give it a winning edge

  4 Son Of Sun  

  F: 13115   B(11)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Bruce Wallace & Grant Cooksley )

  Has gone from strength to strength since winning back in Early November, going on to win two of its four races since. Like about Time, is a winner over the 2400m and had a 'sharpener' over 1500m to prepare here three weeks ago

  1 Interpretation  

  F: 62027   B(2)  W(59.0)

   ( J- John Allen )

   ( T- Ciaron Maher )

  Australian runner that was well fancied in the Wellington Cup five weeks ago and ran well without threatening. Back to 2400m will be more to its liking

  F: x5284   B(13)  W(53.0)

  F: 60x41   B(4)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Roger James & Robert Wellwood )

  Such a quality mare and showed the benefit of its first up run to win with a bit in hand last start. Will have taken further improvement and can take this out on its way to further riches in the coming months

  2 Waitak  

  F: 32964   B(10)  W(59.0)

   ( J- George Rooke )

  F: 10311   B(2)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Wiremu Pinn )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  How impressive has this 6yo been in winning both its runs this campaign. Sure to put them to the test here again, concern is that it's dropping back to the 1600m

  Consider

  

  8 Konasana  

  F: 36311   B(5)  W(57.0)

  1 Checkmate  

  F: 21131   B(10)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Kevin Stott )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  With four runners in the race, you'd think the O'Sullivan/Scott stable would be looking forward to this listed race. It's a quality field but this one looks to have plenty of ability to us and can show its class

  F: 115   B(5)  W(56.0)
