Main Danger
5 Quantum Legend
Dividend : $2.20, $1.30
Won
F:B(11)W(57.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Tony Pike )
Has a good reputation at home and you can understand why, with two trial wins. Michael McNab rides, having also ridden Rumours to win its trial, so will have an idea on which is the best. Wide draw our concern on its first race day start
Next Best
3 Dashing
F:B(2)W(57.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Danica Guy )
Yet another on debut and having won a trial at te rapa at the beginning of the month. Not as quick as Rumours though, that day
Consider
4 Papparazzi
F:B(9)W(57.5)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Pam Gerard )
First time to race day but does look a bit of EW value, as it showed itself to be capable when winning a trial. Wide draw too though
Longer Odds
12 La Cadiere
F:B(5)W(55.5)
( J-Vinnie Colgan )
( T-Ben & Ryan Foote )
The connections have been patient, given the first of its 5 trials was 10 months ago. Will be stronger for that

Dividend : $2.10
Place
F: 60X22B(8)W(56.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Pam Gerard )
Has looked a better horse since resuming, on the back of a winning trial. Close up seconds in both runs should have it approaching peak fitness for today's race
Main Danger
3 Charlemagne
F: 6X024B(11)W(58.5)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Moira & Kieran Murdoch )
Its run caught our eye as one to watch last time when, although fourth, was less than 1/2 length off the winner
Next Best
4 Reecetherageese
F: 6002B(10)W(58.5)
( J-Munna Alam )
( T-Shelley Wright )
Showed marked improvement when stepped up to this distance last start and looks very promising. was just ahead of Charlemagne on that occasion

Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 5220XB(3)W(58.5)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Vicki Prendergast )
Resumes after a 6 month spell and sure to be winning soon, maybe over middle distance. Just wonder if it might be better for the run
Longer Odds
6 The Kehua
F: 03537B(9)W(58.5)
( J-Tayla Mitchell )
( T-Caroline Pomare )
This one is our odds value, a close up third when it had Reecetherageese and Charlemagne either side of it in a tight finish at Te Rapa two back

3 Diamond Jak
F: 06831B(3)W(56.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Mark Brosnan )
Fought hard to reverse its prior placing with drop Of something at te Rapa 4 weeks ago. That was only its second race back so will be improved
Main Danger
4 Gigi
F: 52X91B(5)W(54.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Jim Pender )
Appreciated the extra distance when getting home over 1600m two weeks ago. Today's middle distance will be even more suitable and a strong chance to go back to back
Next Best
2 Soldier Boy
F: P3128B(1)W(57.0)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Gavin Sharrock )
Looked to be back to its goof form of a year or so back when winning here in June. Disappointed here two weeks ago and might be needing this 2100m now. Rails draw and Kelly Myers takes the reins
Consider
1 Drop Of Something
Dividend : $4.50, $1.80
Won
F: 50312B(4)W(60.0)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Wayne Hillis )
Is in good form and no disgrace to go down by a head last time, considering it came out of gate 14. Talented apprentice brings the 4kg claim
Longer Odds
5 Cleese
F: 62X84B(7)W(54.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-John Bell )
Just 3 lengths off Gigi last time over 1600m and now up in distance. Odds seem generous

Best "Each Way"
10 Talea
F: 87381B(16)W(57.0)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Shane Crawford )
Taken south to the CD last time, it bolted in in its maiden over 2100m, in what was only its fifth start. Gave the impression this 2400m wouldn't be a problem and looks a very promising galloper. Opie is in the saddle today
Main Danger
8 Jamaican Boy
F: 41753B(8)W(57.5)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Shane Crawford )
Shane Crawford has a strong chance with his other runner too. Ran well 3 weeks ago when resuming from a short break and will have taken improvement
Next Best
16 Playinasandpit
F: 372B(13)W(54.0)
( J-Elen Nicholas )
( T-Shaun Phelan )
First time over ground when beaten just a neck here two weeks ago. We thought it was a terrific run and we're clearly not on our own in that opinion as it has been backed down from an opening $19
Consider
1 Double Take
F: 99041B(11)W(60.0)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-J & R Vance )
It might be a 9yo but it won like a 5yo last time, with Jamaican Boy back in third. There was good money for it that day
Longer Odds
14 Zolzaya
F: 64751B(9)W(56.5)
( J-Courtney Barnes )
( T-Kylie Hoskin )
This trainer is getting good results from her runners recently and this one comes here on the back of its maiden win. That was its first run over 2100m and it went so much better than previously, so this 2400m might well prove just perfect

7 Elle McFab
F: 141B(5)W(54.5)
( J-Lynsey Satherley )
( T-David Greene )
Signalled its ability when coming from a winning trial to win on debut. Was even more impressive when winning last time on this track 4 weeks ago, with the second and third both winning since to frank the form. This jockey is riding better than ever too. Opened at $8 and has seen early support
Main Danger
1 Solidify
Dividend : $2.90
Place
F: 79742B(2)W(59.5)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )
( T-Team Rogerson )
Still to run anywhere near the potential it showed as a 2yo but the signs have been better in its last two starts. Like Jasmine, we're giving it another chance
Next Best
8 Elle Sourit
Dividend : $3.60, $1.80
Won
F: 11XB(3)W(54.5)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
Trainer took to the CD for debut in March and it looked very promising in getting home by just under a length. It endorsed that opinion when winning easily after coming out of gate 12 in its last run. Resumes after a 4 month spell and hard to beat
Consider
5 Lotus
F: 94123B(1)W(55.0)
( J-Wiremu Pinn )
( T-Graham Richardson & Rogan Norvall )
Running well recently. Wiremu Pinn is the key to its chances today and from the rails draw, sure to give it every chance

9 Ortega
F: 45917B(9)W(54.0)
( J-Jack Taplin )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Finished in behind them last time but despite its good win two back, has ben let out in the betting. These odds can boost your multis

F: 14B(5)W(57.0)

13 Midnight Scandal
F: X2131B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Simon & Katrina Alexander )
Stable has this 6yo mare running wonderfully well and it just got the better of Twain in a gutsy performance last time. Meets that one on 1 1/2kg worse terms today but Twain has drawn wide and that makes it tough
Main Danger
1 Sacred Satono
F: 9310XB(1)W(58.5)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Bruce Wallace & Grant Cooksley )
The class horse of the field, with $665k in winnings, and had drawn the rails for its fresh up run. Given a nice run into second at recent trial and sure to be there at the business end
Next Best
9 Twain
F: 4X112B(10)W(58.5)
( J-Vinnie Colgan )
( T-John Bell )
There's no question this well regarded galloper has the ability to win today, but gate 11 makes its task difficult. Might still win though
Consider
3 Mali Ston
F: 3776XB(9)W(58.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Darryn & Briar Weatherley )
Runs fresh up and sure to be trained to the minute. 8yo with a lot of class on its day and has to be taken into reckoning

10 Joshua Brown
F: 34121B(8)W(58.5)
( J-Lynsey Satherley )
( T-Lance Gussey )
Recent form is excellent and will need everything to go its way to be winning against this field and its wide draw. But it is a galloper we think has a lot of upside

F: 5312B(12)W(58.0)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )
( T-Vicki Prendergast )
Just the four runs, winning its maiden at its third start in May. So impressive that day in the way it picked up the leaders and galloped away and, now resuming from a spell, we think we're going to see a much improved galloper
Main Danger
2 Jaffira
F: 33253B(9)W(60.0)
( J-Jack Taplin )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
The obvious danger, this 6yo has a lot of ability and is ever so genuine. Has finished close up in all its recent races and this talented apprentice brings the 3kg claim

9 Free Bird
F: 36X14B(7)W(57.0)

1 Asgard
F: 1990XB(4)W(60.0)

Its form tailed off at the end of its lat campaign but will be a lot sharper now resuming after two trials. Too capable not to rate a chance

We followed this trainer closely over the last year after she went out on her own and she has done a fantastic job. This one resumes and could sprint well fresh
