Race 2 - GROUP ONE PORTABLE STRUCTURES MAIDEN

Top Pick
11 Rufus
F: 62048B(5)W(56.0)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
Didn't do so well in the Heavy when resuming so Andrew Forsman is switching it to the synthetic, a successful strategy in the past
Main Danger
2 Lucky Coral
F: 30004B(8)W(58.5)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )
( T-Kurtis Pertab )
Just 1/2 length behind Trianna last time so odds would suggest it was a better risk/return proposition than the favourite. However, that one has now been withdrawn so clearly a good chance today
Next Best
1 Mister Meaner
Dividend : $3.00, $1.30
Won
F: 64X43B(11)W(58.5)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Sam Mynott )
Finished just behind Trianna last time and that was warm favourite prior to being scratched. But it has drawn the outside today and that will test it
Consider
5 Voldemort
Dividend : $3.80
Place
F: 88XB(6)W(58.5)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Catherine Cameron )
Resumes after an improved run in its last start of two in previous campaign, in February

( J-Jack Taplin )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
We've got another 4kg claimer that is firing on anything he rides. Must be a chance

Top Pick
1 Rockin Rosie
F: 16034B(7)W(59.0)
( J-Jack Taplin )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Great chance with this apprentice offering so much for his 4kg claim. Drops back to R64 and just needs to overcome draw to be in the frame
Main Danger
4 Alfriston
F: 08X45B(5)W(58.0)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )
( T-Chris Wood )
All three wins have come on the track. Stable runners are going well right now

Capable but yet to show much on this surface. Does look better than the others though

Won
F: LXB(8)W(58.5)
( J-Tayla Mitchell )

1 Top Dollar
Dividend : $1.40
Place
F: 44X72B(10)W(58.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Shaune Ritchie & Colm Murray )
After its good run for second in a conditions race last start, would probably be in short order if it had drawn better. Might be good enough to overcome that
Next Best
2 Rocky Marciano
Dividend : $1.90
Place
F: 2380XB(6)W(58.5)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Peter & Shaun McKay )
First runner for this stable for a while and should be a chance, helped by the Opie factor
Consider
3 Deep Pursuit
F: 88425B(9)W(58.5)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Tony Pike )
Well backed last start but didn't get into a winning position. Has attracted early support this week
Longer Odds

F: X9983B(1)W(56.5)
( J-Courtney Barnes )
( T-Peter & Jessica Brosnan )
Best career performance to date last time when finishing ahead of Deep Pursuit so goes in as our odds player

Place
F: 1X221B(1)W(59.0)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
A winner in a R75 7 weeks ago, this talented 4yo from the Te Akau stable looks certain to get Opie off the mark since his return to racing (if he doesn't win in an earlier race). Rails draw to advantage
Main Danger

7 Allaces
F:B(6)W(54.0)
( J-Lynsey Satherley )

On debut and will do well to be winning based on its only trial. Looks better than the rest of them though
Longer Odds
4 My Faith
F: 39683B(2)W(54.0)
( J-Elen Nicholas )
( T-Stephen Ralph )
Only beaten a length in a conditions race here last time, and that's better credentials than the other two can offer

The 'Day's Best'
2 Aladdin Sane
F: 766X4B(7)W(58.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Roger James & Robert Wellwood )
Looked a very exciting prospect when winning early on in its career, but didn't go on with it. Won a trial before resuming with a good run and this provides it a chance to get things back on track
Main Danger
1 Agera
Dividend : $4.70, $1.80
Won
F: X2343B(1)W(60.0)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Tony Pike )
Has been running well without winning and will get every chance to put that to rights with the rails draw today
Next Best
9 Mulan Ardeche
F: 2X132B(2)W(54.5)
( J-Wiremu Pinn )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Clearly a galloper with a lot of ability and its first run over 2000m last start suggests it will perform best over middle distances now
Consider
8 Amira D'Argento
F: 66135B(8)W(54.5)
( J-Amber Riddell )
( T-Team Rogerson )
Amber Riddell has the ability to improve horses when she rides them for the first time. That can be the case here today
Longer Odds
7 El Zoro
Dividend : $3.20
Place
F: 17545B(3)W(55.0)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Phillip Devcich )
Has finished close up in its last two runs, on this track. Matt Cameron will be keen to get back in the winners circle

Best "Each Way"
4 Spanish Lad
Dividend : $1.60
Place
F: X8411B(11)W(57.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-John Bell )
$100k on offer here and we're going with the momentum that Spanish Lad has right now. It beat Side Eye two back and that one has franked the form in fine style since. Craig Grylls adds the value
Main Danger
9 Penurious
F: X3621B(4)W(54.0)
( J-Jack Taplin )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
This Stephen Marsh runner has gone to a new level since stepped up to 200m. With their talented apprentice claiming the 4kg, it rates a strong chance
Next Best
8 Unequivocal
F: X4132B(7)W(54.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
Astute trainer will have this 5yo trained to the minute for this and it won't be far away. Has finished behind Penurious ibn last two but is 2kg better off this start
Consider
6 Prometheus
Dividend : $2.30
Place
F: 90221B(9)W(55.5)
( J-Lynsey Satherley )
( T-Paul Mirabelli )
Beat Penurious last start and not much different in the weights now so could make things interesting
Longer Odds
1 Heart Of Gold
F: 16076B(8)W(62.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Sam Mynott )
Won a Championship race 12 months ago and now second up this campaign. Could spring the surprise again
