Had this one down as our Day's Best on Wednesday but it was scratched when conditions at Tauranga deteriorated so badly. Trainer/jockey have a massive strike rate in the CD and can get favourite backers off to a winning start
Main Danger
1 Damiano
F: 23624B(5)W(58.5)
( J-Toni Davies )
( T-Lisa Latta )
Both trainer and jockey have been on a bit of a roll lately and this 3yo won't be long in winning one
Next Best
3 Tenscape Prince
F: 4456XB(11)W(58.5)
( J-Ryan Elliot )
( T-Fraser Auret )
First run in five months but this trainer has a reputation of having them 'ready to win' fresh up
Consider
9 Fleeting Glimpse
F: 2B(12)W(56.5)
( J-Jim Chung )
( T-Roydon Bergerson )
Can't deny that was a good first up run at Trentham, in the Heavy too. Drawn wide today
Down from the north and stable has had several winners in the last couple of weeks. Good first up run for second, after winning a trial prior. Rails draw
Main Danger
4 Ma Te Wa
Dividend : $2.90, $1.40
Won
F: 4XB(2)W(58.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Robbie Patterson )
Won't be far away if its first run and winning trial earlier in the week are anything to go by. Early money has seen it come into clear favouritism
Next Best
1 Qacentina
F: 82553B(9)W(58.5)
( J-Jonathan Riddell )
( T-Lisa Latta )
Beaten just a length by Plain Sailing last start, when both were well behind a very smart one.
Consider
2 Plain Sailing
F: 2B(5)W(58.5)
( J-Mereana Hudson )
( T-Simon Wilson )
Nice debut albeit no chance and beaten over eight length by a very talented one. Looks sure to be in the mix
Longer Odds
8 Snowflake
F: 26X4B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Bruno Queiroz )
( T-Guy Lowry & Leah Zydenbos )
Came in just behind Plain Sailing and Qacentina here last time and that offers some relative value

Place
F: 51B(5)W(57.0)
( J-Ryan Elliot )
( T-Gavin Sharrock )
They always used to say it was good horse that can win in the Heavy at Trentham. This one has at only its second start and good senior rider takes the reins
Main Danger
2 Spandeedo
Dividend : $1.20
Place
F: 21B(6)W(57.0)
( J-Jim Chung )
( T-Gavin Sharrock )
With both his runners being the only winners in the field, this trainer holds a strong hand and can be the quinella. Not much between the two of them
Next Best

Dividend : $16.00, $3.60
Won
F: 4B(7)W(54.0)
( J-Bruno Queiroz )
( T-Lisa Latta )

F: 457X8B(1)W(59.5)
( J-Jonathan Riddell )

Course winner and that's a positive on this sandy track. Will be improved for Trentham run and has rails draw to advantage
Main Danger
12 Blondie
F: 726X2B(11)W(56.0)
( J-Jim Chung )
( T-Lauren Brennan )
This 4yo has done well in ten races to date. Well beaten second last time but came out of gate 12 and did well to head home the others

Dividend : $1.70
Place
F: 1725XB(8)W(60.0)
( J-Leah Hemi )
( T-Ben & Ryan Foote )

Consider
3 Popsagoosey

( J-Toni Davies )

F: 48X42B(6)W(58.0)
( J-Jonathan Riddell )
( T-Sue Thompson-Brown & Mick Brown )
New trainers seem to be getting the best out of this 6yo Australian import and it can improve further
Main Danger
1 Lazio
Dividend : $1.80
Place
F: 1115XB(3)W(59.0)
( J-Sima Mxothwa )
( T-Allan Sharrock )
A winner of four from seven starts, all in the Heavy, points to this one being very hard to beat. Well drawn and gets the 4kg claim
Next Best
4 Farravallo
Dividend : $2.70
Place
F: 1018XB(4)W(57.5)
( J-Kavish Chowdhoory )
( T-Roydon Bergerson )
Quality galloper and having its first race since last October when it was in a G3. So this easier and showed its wellbeing with a trial win to prepare
Consider
6 King Of Hearts
F: 65116B(7)W(57.0)
( J-Ryan Elliot )
( T-Erin Hocquard )
Locally trained runner that has been winning them recently, although found the step up to Open company at Trentham last time a bit too much
Longer Odds
5 Reign It In
F: 246X3B(2)W(57.5)
( J-Jim Chung )
( T-Roydon Bergerson )
This one looks at favourable odds, given its two length third in an Open at Trentham when resuming. Inside gate to advantage

Best "Each Way"
10 Colorado Silver
F: 53287B(13)W(57.0)
( J-Ryan Elliot )
( T-Hollie Wynyard )
Gate 18 in what is a big field for this R65 but we think it's good enough to overcome it, with a good ride from trainer's partner. Has been running really well up north in better fields than this
Main Danger
6 Sheez Dominant
F: 777X2B(1)W(58.0)
( J-Madan Singh )
( T-Fraser Auret )
Locally trained and was the one to follow home the highly rated Renovations here three weeks ago. Rails draw a big plus
Next Best
5 Scotch Bonnet
F: 416X0B(5)W(58.0)
( J-Amber Riddell )
( T-J J Rayner )
Local trainer/local jockey combination augers well for a good journey in running. Drops back from R75
Consider
2 Anaroa
F: 41073B(14)W(58.5)
( J-Kavish Chowdhoory )
( T-Guy Lowry & Leah Zydenbos )
Interestingly, this one has drawn even wider than out Top Pick but such was its run at Rotorua last time, it has to be considered. The second that day bolted in last weekend
Longer Odds
9 Kai Moana
F: 388X2B(2)W(57.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Cody Cole )
Considering the trainer/jockey combination, and its good fresh up run two weeks ago, this one is at favourable odds

( J-Kavish Chowdhoory )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
A seven time winner and owned locally, this top stable looks to have this one trained to perfection for this Listed feature, with a resuming run at Trentham to tune it up. Course winner and favoured distance
Main Danger
1 Belardo Boy
Dividend : $2.00
Place
F: 00X37B(3)W(59.0)
( J-Jonathan Riddell )

Next Best
7 Our Jumala
F: 11453B(7)W(57.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Robbie Patterson )
A very good horse, the challenge is that its recent racing has been at middle distance. It might still win as it has had three weeks to freshen up
Consider
3 Bradman
Dividend : $1.90
Place
F: X8524B(11)W(59.0)
( J-Bruno Queiroz )

So consistent and can't be easily discounted from your selections. Talented Brazilian jockey has his first Group winner. since coming to NZ, just last week

F: 0X457B(5)W(57.0)
( J-Ryan Elliot )
( T-Hollie Wynyard )
Holly and jockey partner combination are together with this one too and that's a good sign as they have a good strike rate. Not far away in a G3 at Rotorua last time

5 Who Knows
Dividend : $1.20
Place
F: 4X741B(2)W(57.5)
( J-Amber Riddell )
( T-Niall Quinn )
Trainer normally gives this one at least three weeks between races so the fact that its out again two weeks after a gutsy win at Trentham, augers well for its chances. That was its first run at middle distance last time
Main Danger
7 Ragamuffin
F: X4023B(4)W(57.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Robbie Patterson )
Just a length behind the well thought of Astoria Brooke two weeks ago and Craig Grylls is reunited with it today

12 Rogue Romance
F: 73113B(11)W(54.0)
( J-Kavish Chowdhoory )
( T-Lisa Latta )
Looked at exciting prospect when winning two races recently before getting back at Trentham and then finishing the race off well into third behind Who Knows
Consider
3 Never Look Back
F: 87121B(7)W(59.0)
( J-Leah Hemi )
( T-Gail Temperton )
Interesting to see this one back on the flat after winning its hurdle debut last time. But did win an Open two back and this is a R75
Longer Odds
9 Our Daymo
F: 4270XB(5)W(56.5)
( J-Madan Singh )
( T-Raymond Connors )
Good local trainer whose runners need watching. Better known for his success with jumpers, he trained the winner of the Auckland Cup earlier this year

9 Identikit
F: 14X02B(4)W(57.0)
( J-Leah Hemi )
( T-Lisa Latta )
Third up today and should be fit enough to go close in the last. Stepped up to preferred middle distance last time and it duly brought a good run for second. Local jockey, who is riding better than she ever did, is on the reins
Main Danger
12 Rithim
F: 52815B(13)W(56.5)
( J-Kavish Chowdhoory )
( T-Lisa Latta )
A winner two back, it wasn't far away at Trentham in a 3yo race and that could prove to be good form for this. Ready for the return to middle distance today too

F: 70033B(2)W(55.5)

Consider
1 The Finnster
F: 09X08B(11)W(59.5)
( J-Chris Dell )
( T-Chrissy Bambry )
Ran in an open last time, albeit well beaten, but has to go into consideration given that it is dropping back to a R65, and two of three wins have been on the track
