Dividend :
Place
F: 3B(1)W(56.0)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
Andrew Forsman will have liked this 3yo's debut. Up to 1600m today and that should suit, with rails draw to advantage
Next Best
4 Popsicles
F: 644B(5)W(56.5)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Roger James & Robert Wellwood )
A small field and clearly this one is a contender. Has been progressing well in three runs to date
Consider
1 Rambling On
F: 02X6B(3)W(58.5)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
Another Andrew Forsman runner and, although it hasn't run for two months, could figure in the places
Longer Odds
5 Lady Emily
F: 5B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Mark Brosnan )
The only 'roughie' in the field so fits this category perfectly

7 Mooloo
F: X6956B(8)W(56.5)
( J-Elen Nicholas )
( T-Darrell Hollinshead )
Ran its best race to date last time when in behind Intoxicated, a galloper we think has good ability. The step up to 2000m today could see it break maidens
Main Danger
3 King Cabal
F: 64456B(6)W(58.5)
( J-Sage Duric )
( T-Grant & Tana Shaw )
Looked the winner at one stage in the home straight last start, despite working hard from gate 12

6 Whiskey Lullaby
F: 54960B(7)W(58.5)
( J-Samantha Collett )

That was a decent maiden it ran in last start and will find this easier
Consider
2 Great Adventure
F: 83957B(2)W(58.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Team Rogerson )
A 13 start maiden and has opened up favourite, which is too short for us. But goes in as Craig Grylls has taken the ride
Longer Odds
5 Patch Of Sunshine
F: 88X69B(1)W(58.5)
( J-Darren Danis )
( T-W Hillis & R Cole )
This one was also behind Intoxicated last time and not too far away. Could be in the mix with improvement

2 Robbie Burns
F: X9312B(1)W(60.0)
( J-Amber Riddell )
( T-Kevin & Annette Hinton )
Hasn't looked back since relocating north and has always given the impression it would be better over ground, and steps up to 2000m today
Main Danger
4 Te Atatu Dream
Dividend : $2.10
Place
F: 91953B(8)W(58.0)
( J-Sage Duric )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
One of two runners for this in-form stable and this one finished ahead of its stablemate last time. Proven at the distance and gets the 4kg claim again
Next Best
1 Muscovado
F: 65001B(6)W(60.0)
( J-Darren Danis )
( T-John Bell )
Much improved run when causing an upset 2 weeks ago, with both the O'Sullivan/Scott trained runners behind. astute trainer and it might well back up

Won
F: 40244B(4)W(58.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
No question that this one needs to be considered as the ability to win is definitely there, but it hasn't shown much in its two runs at this distance so far
Longer Odds
6 Ma Baker
F: 261X5B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )
( T-Vicki Prendergast )
Not far off Robbie Burns when resuming. Up to more suitable 2000m today and better for that run

1 Chahoo
Dividend : $3.50, $1.70
Won
F: 1059XB(1)W(60.0)
( J-Sam Weatherley )
( T-Darryn & Briar Weatherley )
Sam Weatherley rides for the family stable and when he does, it pays to take notice. Furthermore, it is so much shorter in the market than it should be, so we can assume it has been going well in its preparation for the new campaign
Main Danger
7 Ridgeview Vicky
Dividend : $3.70
Place
F: 65736B(6)W(57.5)
( J-Joe Nishizuka )

F: 3324XB(5)W(58.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-David Greene )
Might well have won its second race at the back end of last campaign but couldn't quite get there. This is a weak field and may offer that opportunity
Consider
2 Murch
F: 80732B(7)W(60.0)
( J-Triston Moodley )
( T-Danny Walker & Arron Tata )
Great to see Triston back on race day and he has a chance of getting back in the winners circle with this 5yo

F: 21790B(3)W(58.0)
( J-George Rooke )

Far exceeded expectations when just 4 lengths off the winner at 50/1 when resuming. Better for run and now on the turf

( J-Matt Cartwright )

There's no denying it's running well and has been finishing its races off well, but it has drawn a bit wide here and we don't feel its at 'value' odds

5 Don Pauly
Dividend : $1.60
Place
F: 88X37B(9)W(58.5)
( J-Matthew Cameron )

Te Akau's only runner today ... and we expect they'd love to win the Cup on their home track. So will be perfectly prepared with that in mind, and note Opie isn't on the reins. George is an able substitute

F: 9100XB(5)W(53.0)

F: 41210B(1)W(54.5)
( J-Lynsey Satherley )

Main Danger
11 Triple Threat
F:B(7)W(56.0)
