  F: 03121   B(5)  W(61.0)

   ( J- Sam McNab )

   ( T- W Hillis & R Cole )

  3 Diamond Jak  

  F: 68315   B(1)  W(55.5)

   ( J- Masa Hashizume )

   ( T- Mark Brosnan )

  Just over 2 1/2 lengths behind Drop Of Something at te Rapa and looks the main challenger here. Might come down to which one adapts to the Soft5 best

  6 Cleese  

  F: 2X847   B(7)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Jack Taplin )

   ( T- John Bell )

  This John Bell runner could surprise them at EW odds. 3kg claimer up today so 5 1/2kg better in from two weeks ago

  Consider

  

  2 Khan Hunter  

  F: 42253   B(9)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Maria Sanson )

   ( T- Antony Fuller )

  Good run last time after nearly two months off the track. Will have taken improvement and this 2100m more suitable

  F: 87775   B(2)  W(54.0)

  14 Santa Catalina  

  F: 404X3   B(9)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Rory Hutchings )

   ( T- Peter & Shaun McKay )

  Rory Hutchings returns to NZ racing today and he hit the ground running on his last spell here. He might do the same again today as this one went well when resuming, and will find the 2200m here more suitable

  Main Danger

  

  6 Sweet But Psycho  

  F: 9X402   B(12)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  Dropped back to R65 last time and that saw good improvement, finishing close up. Finished well over the 1500m at Te Rapa so extra distance today will suit but does have a wide draw to overcome

  Next Best

  

  7 I Park  

  Dividend : $2.80

  Place

  F: 9XB04   B(7)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Matthew Cameron )

   ( T- Lauren Brennan )

  Nice odds considering it was less than a 1/2 length behind Sweet But Psycho after will favour today's track conditions

  Consider

  

  2 Hot Line Bling  

  F: X0172   B(3)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Rihaan Goyaram )

   ( T- Shaune Ritchie & Colm Murray )

  Has looked stronger as a 5yo and close up in last 3 runs. Comes off the synthetic today

  F: 27924   B(10)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Andrew Forsman )

  Ran in a conditions race last time and now in a R65. Craig Grylls takes the reins

  7 Si Exquis  

  F: 22X54   B(4)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Kelly Myers )

   ( T- Simon & Katrina Alexander )

  Third up today and should be at peak fitness. Recent runs have been good and well drawn here

  Main Danger

  

  6 Scarlet Temple  

  F: 42812   B(3)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Samantha Collett )

   ( T- Debbie Sweeney )

  Just the five starts and since coming off the synthetic, has shown much improved form. Both those runs were in the Heavy though

  Next Best

  

  9 Faultless  

  F: X51X2   B(12)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Masa Hashizume )

   ( T- Peter & Shaun McKay )

  Would be out top pick but for the draw. Really liked its run over 1100m at Taupo and this 1600mm should be just perfect now

  Consider

  

  4 Mister Meaner  

  F: X4313   B(10)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Rory Hutchings )

   ( T- Sam Mynott )

  Broke through for maiden win on synthetic at 14th start, two starts ago, after placing 4 times. So ability is there but this is harder and place chance looks best

  Place

  F: 10X   B(2)  W(59.5)

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  The long awaited return of what was a very exciting prospect as a 2yo, when fancied to win the Karaka Millions. Disappointed and has been given time, albeit regular trials over the last year. Went nicely to win its most recent trial at Taupo

  Main Danger

  

  8 First Dance  

  Dividend : $6.80, $2.20

  Won

  F: 4250X   B(4)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- Lance Noble )

  Although at $80 in the market when it last raced, The Kiwi in March, it was probably its best performance. We could see good things of this one this spring

  Next Best

  

  7 Zenith  

  F: 12   B(5)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- John Bell )

  John Bell has had a very good strike rate this year and 4yo is one of his most recent winners. Promising and definitely a chance

  Consider

  

  5 Hard Roca  

  F: 349X3   B(11)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Andrew Forsman )

  Bit of money there for this Andrew Forsman runner when it resumed 2 weeks ago, and ran well to be beaten just 3/4 length. Takes improvement but tough task drawn out wide

  Longer Odds

  

  9 One More Dance  

  F: 2641X   B(7)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Sam Weatherley )

   ( T- Ross McCarroll )

  In its 8th start, broke through for its maiden win in February, and then put out to mature. That's a good sign for their future races and resumes today

  11 Carsolio  

  F: 25X1   B(1)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Well rated by Opie to get home with a bit to spare at Taupo, when resuming 3 weeks ago. Fitter and rails draw to advantage here

  Main Danger

  

  2 Have A Crack  

  Dividend : $4.60, $2.40

  Won

  F: LX1   B(12)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Tayla Mitchell )

   ( T- Chad Ormsby )

  Trainer will be disappointed to have drawn such a wide gate, as are we, because it caught the eye when winning its first race in NZ in style. Could still win

  Next Best

  

  10 Liechtenstein  

  Dividend : $1.80

  Place

  F: 2381   B(3)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Sam McNab )

   ( T- Tony Pike )

  Resumed on the synthetic at Cambridge last month and the improvement from its spell was evident. With the Pike stable runners going well generally, it has to be followed

  Consider

  

  6 Toruk Makto  

  F: X840X   B(4)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- Bruce Wallace & Grant Cooksley )

  Resuming. Surprised to see it open so short in the market so including it, as it might well have improved since its last race in march

  Longer Odds

  

  7 Beau Miller  

  F: 245   B(12)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Kelly Myers )

   ( T- Janenne Dalley )

  Another that has been drawn very wide so will need everything to go right. But there has been positive expectations for it in its last two runs

  2 Hostility  

  F: 22X   B(9)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Te Akau runner that came to debut in March with a big reputation but got turned over at $1.30. Redeemed itself behind a good one next time before being spelled. Won a trial here last week and can get off to a winning start for this campaign

  Main Danger

  1 Landlock  

  F: 2524X   B(3)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Samantha Collett )

   ( T- Cody Cole )

  Hardly put a foot wrong in its 2yo races and finished a lengths behind Hostility when it raced in March. Resumes and won its only race in a fresh up state

  Consider

  

  4 Bulgari  

  F: 1X   B(12)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Rory Hutchings )

   ( T- Darryn & Briar Weatherley )

  6 Storm Front  

  F: 1X8X   B(11)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Tony Pike )

   ( J- Wiremu Pinn )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Ran the perfect warm up race at Taupo, when seen finishing to effect over 1100m. Should be spot on today and the extra 100m ideal

  Place

  F: 21X1   B(7)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

  F: 38X2   B(9)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Vinnie Colgan )

   ( T- Graham Richardson & Rogan Norvall )

  Ran well as a 2yo and then nearly surprised them when just beaten by In Haste at Taupo. Has clearly developed over its spell and just needs to overcome wide draw to be testing them

  Consider

  

  1 To Cap It All  

  F: 123X3   B(5)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Impressive in three runs in the summer before being spelled. Ran nicely when resuming at Taupo and that will have sharpened it up nicely for this

  4 Too Sweet  

  F: 1063X   B(10)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Rory Hutchings )

   ( T- Roydon Bergerson )

  F: 1X6X3   B(9)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

  Te Akau runner that had its troubles but, after winning a trial at Taupo in early August, we expected it to win its resuming run. Went OK and we're sticking with it

  12 Zormella  

  F: 1012X   B(5)  W(56.5)

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( T- Roger James & Robert Wellwood )

   ( T- Roger James & Robert Wellwood )

  This 5yo mare has won three of its 8 starts and will be winning again this campaign, maybe today. Distance should be ideal at this stage of its preparation

  Consider

  

  14 Dramatic Miss  

  F: 6233X   B(12)  W(55.5)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Terry Powell )

  F: 53121   B(17)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Jasmine Fawcett )
