Is going to be running at short odds but they look justified, given its been beaten into second, in a tight photo finish on two occasions in only six starts
Main Danger
1 Baggio
F: 53302B(7)W(58.5)
( J-Rohan Mudhoo )
( T-Andrew Carston )
Very surprising that this one is a 16 start maiden, but the reality is that it has 'come good' in recent runs and might well have won more than once. Promising signs for this campaign when resuming, considering it came out of gate 10 and was only beaten a head

F: 34444B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Brandon May )

F: 85326B(5)W(56.0)

Drops back from Opens and its class can show. Likely to handle dropping back to 1600m as well and this South African jockey is going well since moving south

Dividend : $1.20
Place
F: 83123B(7)W(55.5)
( J-Courtney Barnes )

So consistent and genuine and with much improved jockey taking over, for an in-form stable, is going to be hard to beat

F: 38433B(8)W(56.5)
( J-Leah Hemi )

8 Suspect Or Victim
F: 7X0X3B(3)W(56.5)
( J-Ruvanesh Muniandy )
( T-Shankar Muniandy )
Terrific performance last time when resuming after 16 months off the track, finishing just a 1/2 length behind Aviva. Takes a lot of improvement from that and should get the better of it today
Next Best
4 Aviva
F: 28502B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Kylie Williams )
( T-Russell McKay & Ashley Harrington )
Has run second three times in its 11 starts so will surely win one shortly. Resumed five weeks ago when finishing the race off nicely into second
Consider
6 Grane
F: X0735B(7)W(56.5)
( J-Krishna Mudhoo )

Has come back from spell a much improved filly with three placings from its four starts. Furthermore, it beat Aspen Voltage by six lengths last time so looks to have them covered

8 Flyin' The Pin
F: 7X6X9B(5)W(56.5)
( J-Yogesh Atchamah )
( T-Amber Hoffman )
Australian import that was favoured to win in first NZ run two weeks ago. Didn't show much at all but clearly is better than that

7 Aspen Voltage
F: X50X6B(1)W(56.5)

With nothing looking likely here, we're going to take a punt and let the money do the talking. This one has been backed down from an opening 13's and promising apprentice brings the 4kg claim

( J-Akshay Balloo )
( T-Kimberley Hodgson )
A winner here two back, there was clearly something wrong in its next start and it was spelled. Resumes
It's that trainer/jockey partnership that has had such a good run and they're a 'live' chance here. Never far away, it has only won once but been second four times so possesses more ability than the most of them
Main Danger
11 Lined Satin
F: 400X8B(6)W(55.5)
( J-Kylie Williams )
