  Place

  F: 568X2   B(2)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Expected to win when resuming two weeks ago, having looked good winning a trial prior, but came up short. Opie is on te reins again and should get punters off to a winning start

  Main Danger

  Won

  F: 77223   B(4)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Ashlee Strawbridge )

   ( T- Stephen Ralph )

  Has been going well in recent runs and with the stable runners winning, looks the likely danger

  2 Shamwari  

  F: 3364X   B(5)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Mark Forbes )

  Resuming and will be improved for the experience of its last campaign and subsequent spell. Will want further but could sprint well fresh

  F: 3X   B(1)  W(54.0)

  7 Age Of Discovery  

  F: X6X30   B(7)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Yet to discover the form it showed in its first two starts but Te Akau are optimistic. Third up today since its long break and it should be winning a race like this, if anywhere near that form

  Main Danger

  

  12 Flanagan  

  F: 2114X   B(2)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Tayla Mitchell )

   ( T- Samantha Logan )

  Returns from a 5 month spell as a 5yo and looked to be pretty sharp when winning its trial to prepare. Senior jockey takes over

  Next Best

  

  3 Judicial  

  F: 64X32   B(2)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Sam McNab )

   ( T- Ben & Ryan Foote )

  Its trial form has been good but not really producing it on race day. Back from a three month spell and the 3kg claimer will give it every chance

  Consider

  

  1 Aquilifer  

  F: 3130X   B(5)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Rihaan Goyaram )

   ( T- Sam Mynott )

  Looks the best chance of Sam Mynott's two runners and drawn well for first up run

  3 Sonoran  

  F: 20X21   B(8)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Vicki Prendergast )

  Has been improving and took full advantage of the winning opportunity last start to clear out and win by over 9 lengths1 And the thing is, the step up to 2000m should suit it even better today

  Main Danger

  

  6 Sweet But Psycho  

  F: X4024   B(9)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  Likely to get back early from its wide draw but that's fine as has been finishing its races off strongly. First run at middle distance last time was OK and will get better

  Next Best

  Place

  F: 625X3   B(4)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Ashlee Strawbridge )

   ( T- Darrell Hollinshead )

  Despite the wide draw, was only 1 1/2 lengths off the winner when resuming. with improvement from that, sure to be in the mix today

  F: 29195   B(5)  W(58.0)

  1 Drop Of Something  

  F: 12129   B(1)  W(60.5)

   ( J- Sam McNab )

   ( T- W Hillis & R Cole )

  The formline shows 9th last start ... but in fact that was still only 3 1/2 lengths from the winner! Has been running supper races and right in this from rails draw and 3kg claim

  Main Danger

  

  3 Agera  

  F: 31161   B(6)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Sam Weatherley )

   ( T- Tony Pike )

  Stepped up to Open handicap at Te Rapa last time and was a good winner over 1600m. A good galloper and has to be a good chance now up to 2000m, having won over the distance four back

  Place

  F: 126   B(3)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

  Just the three starts and won on debut. They have to have a bit of ability to do that. Astute trainer has turned to Warren Kennedy to get back in the winners circle today

  F: 90X1   B(7)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

   ( T- Margaret Falconer )

  Won its only two races well at the beginning of the year and ran well until spelled in March. Will be better for resuming run and early money this week suggests confidence in the stable

  Indicative Odds: $ 3.00

  F: 554X8   B(4)  W(59.5)

   ( J- Sam McNab )

   ( T- Lynda German )

  Just the one win from 8 starts prior to this campaign but has come back in good shape after a 7 month spell, if its resuming run is any indication. A huge effort to come out of the outside gate (16) when resuming and finish over them
