Main Danger
3 Hakushu
F: 24XB(5)W(58.5)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
A good start to its career before spelling. It should only be stronger for those efforts, and its odds are also shortening.
Next Best
6 Fantastic Smile
Dividend : $5.50, $2.00
Won
F: LXB(3)W(58.5)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Jenna Mahoney )
Lost the rider on debut before spelling. Trial form is solid for its return, and it's an interesting runner. Watch late betting moves.
Consider
15 Atkins
Dividend : $1.70
Place
F: 6B(7)W(56.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Cody Cole )
A solid run on debut and there is room for improvement. Grylls rides and he often starts the day with a win, so keep it safe.
Longer Odds
4 Transatlantic
F: 0247XB(6)W(58.5)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Patsy Riley )
It showed glimpses of form last prep and it could return in style. Double-figure odds available.

Top Pick
14 Reinstatement
Dividend : $1.70
Place
F: 78392B(5)W(55.5)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Kylie Hoskin )
Working its way towards a win after running second last time out. Not much depth to this field, so it could take advantage and pay handsome odds.
Main Danger
11 Takeachance
F: 50X74B(10)W(56.5)
( J-Lynsey Satherley )
( T-Tracy Lomas )
Punters have to take a chance, but after an improved fourth last start, it could fire up here. Just needs luck from the draw.
Next Best
6 Time Traveller
F: 417X0B(2)W(58.5)
( J-Liam Kauri )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Much better than what it showed fresh up so we're prepared to give it another chance. 3kg comes off its back, which adds to its appeal.
Consider
1 Brucey Lee
F: 190X0B(2)W(59.0)
( J-Bailey Rogerson )
( T-Kim Knight )
Another runner looking to improve on a poor fresh up run. Specked at odds, and that could be enough to see it run close.
Longer Odds
7 Endean Ace
F: 2708XB(7)W(58.0)
( J-Elen Nicholas )
( T-Shelley Wright )
It owns a placing at Ellerslie and it gets 1kg off its back. Good enough to go close and boost payouts.

Top Pick
8 Whiskey 'N Roses
F: 67033B(2)W(54.0)
( J-Tayla Mitchell )
( T-Joanne Surgenor )
It looked good early on before finding some trouble in big races. This is easier and dropping to 53kg should make it tough to hold out.
Main Danger
7 Grande Gallo
F: 18133B(1)W(54.0)
( J-Triston Moodley )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Stable is firing and it's already a two-time winner this preparation. That form is tough to overlook, so take the each-way odds.
Next Best
3 Bourbon Empress
F: 1210XB(10)W(55.5)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
It showed good form last prep, including two wins. Runs its best races at Ellerslie, and it doesn't mind the sting out of the track.
Consider
5 Sterling Express
Dividend : $6.20, $1.90
Won
F: 218X1B(3)W(55.5)
( J-Warren Kennedy )

Comes off a win at Ellerslie when showing good toughness. Well-backed to win again, and it's drawn to get all favours in the run.

Dividend : $1.30
Place
F: 3X31B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Scored a good breakthrough win last start and a repeat of that takes it close. Tough to stop the Orange Army in these races, hence the odds.

Dividend :
Place
F: 14973B(4)W(57.0)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Hollie Wynyard )
Not everything has gone its way, but it's better than its form suggests. Should sit on the pace and look to give a good kick.
Next Best
3 Wyndstorm
F: 314B(7)W(57.0)
( J-Ryan Elliot )
( T-Hollie Wynyard )
Won its only start at Ellerslie two back. Fourth behind Towering Vision last start and it could turn the tables on the favourite.

F: 47X26B(5)W(57.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )

Yet to win but it hasn't been too far away from the prize. Punters should expect improvement and the odds appeal.
Longer Odds
5 Rufus
F: 620B(6)W(57.0)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
A nice run two back. Didn't fire last time out but it could bounce back at odds.

F: 64X22B(8)W(59.5)

Knocking on the door of a win after consecutive second placings. Not any harder here and it could capitalise at each-way odds.
Main Danger

Dividend : $4.20, $2.00
Won
F: 674X3B(7)W(58.5)
( J-Triston Moodley )
( T-Danny Walker & Arron Tata )
Resumed with a tidy third placing and getting 2kg off helps. Backed to win, which is a good sign, and it should run well.
Next Best
4 The Nomad
F: 4X1B(12)W(59.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Cody Cole )
Having a recent win on the board is good form in this race. It might have only been a maiden win, but that form should hold up well enough.
Consider
9 Bellarista
F: 428X8B(12)W(57.5)
( J-Liam Kauri )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
It looked like it needed the fresh up run and it only needs luck from the wide draw. Gets 3kg off its back, so consider.
Longer Odds
8 Pax Mundi
F: 10089B(10)W(58.0)
( J-Wiremu Pinn )
( T-Tony Pike )
Struggling recent runs but an upset is never too far away. It likes to win when least expected.

1 Velocious
F: 46X10B(6)W(58.0)
( J-Courtney Barnes )

A winner of five from just ten starts, it was disappointing last start. But Stephen Marsh has had three weeks to work through that Does look to have more ability than the others

With a top harness trainer so won't lack for preparation. He has it going well and might well be better suited to the Soft5 today. Rails draw

7 Thooza
F: X139XB(5)W(56.0)

2 Keegan

( J-Vinnie Colgan )
( T-Ben & Ryan Foote )
Showed itself to be pretty smart on occasions and likely to be more consistent this time up. Won fresh up last time and this stable has them 'ready to win' when going to race day
Main Danger
10 Reptak
F: 196X1B(7)W(56.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Up in grade here but such was the style of its win when resuming four weeks ago, it should handle the R75 OK. Craig Grylls takes over today

Place
F: 18167B(2)W(54.5)
( J-Triston Moodley )
( T-Graham Richardson & Rogan Norvall )
Had a couple of decent types behind it in the G3 last time so if running up to that, could well be winning. The inside gate gives it every opportunity
Consider
7 Queen Zou
F: 721X1B(13)W(57.0)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Stephen Marsh runner that has won either side of a four month break, and that takes some doing. Will be improved for that last start win too

2 Desert Mystic
F: 13409B(1)W(59.5)
( J-Liam Kauri )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Started off the year looking like a galloper that would rise through the grades and be competing with the best. But that didn't transpire and we see it here in a R75. Stable continues to run it, suggesting it will turn its form around and the step up to 2100m might just do that
Main Danger
3 Ravello
F: 83007B(12)W(57.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Will have taken improvement out of resuming run and can show its best over 2100m this time. It has seen a lot of early money

9 Gentian Blue
F: X8562B(2)W(54.5)
( J-Vinnie Colgan )
( T-Maxim & Samantha Van Lierde )
The winner of the race that beat it last time is a lot better than your average galloper so to be less than 2 1/2 lengths away last time was a good effort
