Won
F: 7B(8)W(58.5)
( J-Samantha Collett )

Despite winning its last trial, this 4yo was overlooked by punters on debut but took the form to race day and ran a very promising second. Sam Collett rode in the trial and is back on the reins today
Main Danger
8 Tikanto
F: 5B(3)W(56.5)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Roger James & Robert Wellwood )
Nice initial introductory to race day on the synthetic has worked for other gallopers and we can expect this one to come on for its run at Cambridge Synthetic a month ago

F: 8XB(6)W(56.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )

After winning a trial, was given a debut run in June. That proved to be a good learning experience before they spelled it and now resumes from a stable renowned for having them 'ready to win'
Main Danger
5 Gracetheace
F: 242B6B(1)W(56.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Gavin Opie )
After showing promise, this maiden was tested in a 3yo Stakes race in July but things didn't go to plan and it was pulled up. Resumes now after break and gets every chance from rails draw

There's a race or two to be won with this 5yo if its run two back is anything to go by. The booking of Opie into the saddle adds to its chances today

F:B(5)W(55.5)

Main Danger
4 Earlicheer
F:B(8)W(57.5)
( J-Courtney Barnes )

Stephen Marsh runner on debut and clearly has ability, having won its last two trials to prepare. Jockey was apprenticed to Marsh and is considerably improved these days

11 Beabopalula
F: 9B(2)W(55.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )

Close up in all three runs last campaign after winning both trials prior, and now resuming after a 5 month spell. Sure to be more mature and trainer will have it fully tuned up
Main Danger
12 Cheerio
Dividend : $1.60
Place
F:B(2)W(54.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Cody Cole )
On debut and has opened as favourite, despite not winning its trials. But that clearly indicates it has a good reputation and this trainer/jockey have had a terrific strike rate since Sam returned. Inside draw

Won
F: 7XB(4)W(58.5)

Cody Cole runs this recent trial winner too, and he also has a good strike rate with Craig Grylls, who rides this one today
Consider
11 Acer
F: 5XB(6)W(54.0)
( J-Masa Hashizume )

Won
F: 5197B(8)W(57.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Goes in on the basis that it is a Te Akau runner and Opie rides. Yet to run over 2000m + and hasn't run for over six weeks. But the reality is it doesn't have much to beat
Next Best
6 Quill
F: 66346B(2)W(57.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Shaun & Emma Clotworthy )
Coming out of this stable, we give it a chance in a very mediocre field. Five lengths behind Brian Lamont (our Longer Odds pick) last start
Consider
9 Pointer
F: 26090B(1)W(56.0)
( J-Elen Nicholas )
( T-Darrell Hollinshead )
At a loss as to why this 5yo with just the one win is as short at $5.50. The plus is the rails draw but its only win was on 'Good' footing. Watch the tote
Longer Odds
8 Brian Lamont
F: 47082B(10)W(57.0)
( J-Sage Duric )
( T-W Hillis & R Cole )
Good run over 2400 when holding on for second and repeat of that, over 300m less, could well be too good for this field

1 Top Shelf
Dividend : $1.80
Place
F: 412XB(6)W(60.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
On what this one showed in its only 3 races to date, at the beginning of the year, you'd be hard pressed to suggest it doesn't have a strong winning chance. Resuming but has had 4 trials to prepare. Craig Grylls picks up the ride
Main Danger
7 Vadanova
F: 31866B(3)W(55.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Simon & Katrina Alexander )
Back to its preferred distance, and on a Heavy track, we'll be surprised if this mare isn't in the money. The inside draw should see it get a good journey in running too

F: 22170B(4)W(58.0)
( J-Matthew Cameron )

Better run at Ellerslie 11 days ago and, after the run this trainer is having at the moment, it has to be a strong winning proposition
Consider
8 Eddie's Dream
F: 24822B(7)W(55.5)
( J-Elen Nicholas )
( T-Michael Rogers )
Its recent form belies its overall record of 1 win from 29 starts, but it really is an improved galloper and has been running in competitive fields

F: 83502B(9)W(54.0)
( J-George Rooke )

Terrific run when resuming to keep the heavily punted on Soaring Pengshan last time. That was its first run back and will take improvement

Place
F: 2895XB(7)W(58.0)
( J-George Rooke )

Capable 4yo that has been spelling since May and now resumes. Stephen Marsh looks to have it fit, judging by a trial win 7 weeks ago
Main Danger
2 Timetoplaythegame
F: 18734B(5)W(58.5)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-David Greene )
Stuck on well over this trip at Rotorua, to keep the two favourites honest, two back but was a bit off them last start. Warren Kennedy's only other ride today is in the first so interesting that he is staying for this finale
Next Best
5 Way Out West
F: 350X0B(11)W(57.0)
( J-Matthew Cameron )

Looked like it would improve significantly from its fresh up run at Ellerslie two weeks ago and just needs to overcome draw to threaten these

1 Just Call Me Jonny
Dividend : $5.40, $2.00
Won
F: 1220XB(3)W(59.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Peter & Shaun McKay )
Has to go in for consideration in your multis, and because Craig Grylls rides, but in reality, its only win came on a 'good' track and it was unplaced in its only run in the Heavy
Longer Odds
11 Silkdegrees
F: 55627B(4)W(54.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )

At a loss to understand what went wrong last start as its run prior was good. Could bounce back at good EW odds
