1 Balls Of Fire
F: 23X02B(1)W(58.5)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Davina Waddell )
21 start maiden but worth taking a chance with as it ran its best run to date here three weeks ago, when paying $54 and only beaten a head. Noted that the money has come early, having opened at $12. Rails draw to advantage
Main Danger

Dividend : $1.90
Place
F: 6X3B(4)W(58.5)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Shelley Hale )
Went a nice race when resuming from an 8 month break at Rotorua. Will have taken improvement and being an 'on the pace' runner, is well positioned in gate 6

Place
F: 3B(9)W(56.5)

Best "Each Way"
2 Chicago Dream
F: X8413B(5)W(59.0)
( J-Wiremu Pinn )
( T-Kenny Rae )
Local trainer Kenny Rae has this 3yo going well and, although just over a length behind Fernandez here three weeks ago, it looks the value to turn that result around, with the Soft track suiting better and Wiremu Pinn now taking the reins
Main Danger
5 Fernandez
F: 98X41B(2)W(57.5)
( J-Jack Taplin )
( T-Jenna Mahoney )
Progressed from a good run when resuming to get home in the Heavy last time. Clearly a big chance again, with the 4kg claimer up and an inside draw
Next Best
6 Free Bird
F: 36X1B(8)W(57.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-David Greene )
Won its maiden here when resuming, in what was only its third race. This tougher and wide draw
Consider
7 Secret Life
F: 314X7B(9)W(57.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Cody Cole )
Hasn't run for 10 weeks but when Michal McNab rides for Cody Cole, you know they're a chance, and sure to be fit enough. Also drawn wide
Longer Odds
4 Sacred Zed
F: 51978B(1)W(58.0)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Nicholas Bishara )
When it won its maiden at its third start, the trainer sung its praises. But hasn't done much since. But note early money this time

The 'Day's Best'
1 Fantastic Smile
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: LX102B(7)W(59.5)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )
( T-Jenna Mahoney )
Has been well backed in all three runs since resuming, running well in each one including winning the first. Will be better on the Soft track and does look like it has the ability to be winning this
Main Danger
2 Interlaken
F: 1B(1)W(59.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Shane Crawford )
A 6 length winner of its trial prior, it was no surprise to see it win on debut two weeks ago, when well supported. Will take improvement and Joe Doyle takes over today and has the rails draw to advantage
Next Best
5 Highly Anticipated
Dividend : $1.90
Place
F: 72513B(3)W(57.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Barbara Kennedy )
This young trainer has had a terrific first year and this 5yo mare will be adding to her success shortly, if not today. Drops back from 1600m
Consider
3 Gameplay
F: 10XB(9)W(58.5)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Michael Rogers )
This one could surprise them. After looking good when winning on debut last year, it ran down the track in February and was sent to the paddock. Will be stronger now
Longer Odds
10 Electric Dream
F: X0504B(4)W(54.0)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Kenny Rae )
Trainer has two in the race and this might be the best. Seen finishing on to good effect over 1200m last time and this extra 100m just perfect

Won
F: X5732B(1)W(56.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Kenny Rae )
Although beaten over 5 lengths into second last start, it came out of gate 11 and winning was always going to be hard. With Michael McNab taking the reins and suited with the rails draw today, we like its chances
Main Danger
1 Embossed
F: X2632B(2)W(58.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Chris Wood )
Three times placed from its four starts this campaign, it looks sure to be there at the business end today. Progressive and Craig Grylls is re-united
Next Best
13 Kiszkah
F: 76606B(13)W(56.5)
( J-Lynsey Satherley )
( T-Anthony Burton )
Nearly caused a boilover in a Conditions race last start, finishing just over two lengths off the winner at $101! Repeat of that run, despite the wide draw, puts it in play
Consider
8 Morning Cocoa
F: 72222B(10)W(56.5)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
The talent is there, as four seconds from 6 starts is testimony to. Resumes and has to go in but needs to overcome wide draw

14 Distintiva
F: 7X8B(12)W(56.5)

From a highly respected stable, this 3yo can back up its win in a Stakes race last time, now running in a R75. Rails draw again today and this jockey rides the track well

F: 42061B(4)W(59.0)
( J-Michael McNab )

Won easily here 3 weeks ago, beating Time And Tide by nearly 2 1/2 lengths. 2kg worse off today but should retain its superiority

4 Marriage Vows
F: 06182B(9)W(58.0)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Les Collins )
Has shown a lot of promise in just 5 runs, having won one of them. Finishes its races off well so this step up to middle distance for the first time should add to its chances
Main Danger
10 Rosina
F: 33350B(7)W(55.0)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Ben & Ryan Foote )
Clearly not everything was right last start so best judged on good prior form. Matt Cartwright returns to day and this looks his best chance on the card
Next Best
8 Barcelona
F: 37026B(10)W(55.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Margaret Falconer )
Stable has had its best run for a while and this one performed well to run second in an Open two back. Not far away last week and now on the quick back up
Consider
7 Suavetta
F: 43026B(11)W(57.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Shaun & Emma Clotworthy )
Although 6th here three weeks ago, was only 4 1/2 lengths off the winner ... and now has the services of Craig Grylls. Up to 2100m today

Place
F: 06788B(3)W(55.0)
( J-Tayla Mitchell )
( T-Kylie Fawcett )
Had a good run of form last year when right and looks like it is ready to show something now. Good apprentice takes the reins and is good value for her 3kg claim
