4 Dakota
F:B(3)W(54.0)
( J-Akshay Balloo )
( T-Dean MacGregor )
Money has come for it on debut, which is always a good sign. Comes off some nice trial performances, so it could hit the ground running.

F: 9X0B(4)W(56.0)
( J-Billy Jacobson )

Better than what it has shown in two race day starts, and we're prepared to give it another chance. Should get a nice run throughout, which is a bonus.

Dividend : $2.40
Place
F:B(2)W(56.0)
( J-Yogesh Atchamah )

F: 46343B(6)W(56.5)

1 Eight Pence
Dividend : $3.00, $1.60
Won
F: 67X63B(1)W(58.5)
( J-Kendra Bakker )
( T-Lance Robinson )
Better for two runs this prep, including a third placing last start. That's a good form guide for this race, and we're not surprised by the shortening odds.
Next Best
6 Friendofthedevil
Dividend : $2.20
Place
F: 84284B(7)W(56.5)
( J-Kylie Williams )
( T-Andrew Carston )
Plenty of fitness under its belt, and it could figure in the finish. Nothing wrong with its second placing three back, so include in picks.
Consider
12 Su'par Irish
F: 5X80B(4)W(54.0)
( J-Donovan Cooper )
( T-Samantha Wynne )
Not the best form to date, but it has been specked at odds. That's a good sign, and dropping to 52kg is ideal. An interesting runner at the price.
Longer Odds
2 Forever Young
F: 92549B(5)W(58.5)
( J-Brett Murray )

Five placings from 34 starts, and it could boost payouts with an improved performance.

5 Let Me Loose
F: 44X43B(12)W(56.5)
( J-Leah Hemi )
( T-Samantha Wynne )
A touch of luck is needed from the wide barrier, but it has been close to winning many times. It doesn't get a better chance to exit maidens.
Main Danger
12 Impulsive Heart
F: 6B(10)W(56.0)
( J-Billy Jacobson )
( T-Nayton Mitchell )
Not far away on debut when sixth, and it ran through the line nicely. Best-backed to beat the favourite, and it could run a cheeky race.
Next Best
11 Sheaintsopeachy
F: 35X78B(5)W(56.5)
( J-Yogesh Atchamah )
( T-Krystal Williams )
Better for recent racing, and it looked like it needed the fitness. Getting a good draw could make an impact, so it should be right in the mix.
Consider
6 Enchanted Delight
F: 6735B(3)W(56.5)
( J-Brett Murray )
( T-Michael & Matthew Pitman )
Having its fifth run of its first prep, so it has miles under its belt. In good hands with the Pitmans, and we expect it be to fighting out the finish.
Longer Odds
14 Elphaba
F: 40X89B(6)W(54.0)
( J-Terry Moseley )
( T-Kenny Rae )
An improved run is expected after two moderate efforts. Betting suggests it won't be far away.

Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 445XB(2)W(57.5)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-Vicky Ramhit )
It didn't do much wrong in three starts last preparation, and it could hit the ground running this time in. Worth backing in an even field.
Main Danger
7 Platinum Pantheon
Dividend : $2.70, $1.30
Won
F: 6X63XB(8)W(57.0)
( J-Kylie Williams )
( T-Lisa Latta )
It ended last prep with a tidy third placing. It might need a run, but on talent alone, it should be tough to beat, as the market suggests.
Next Best
8 Madeleine Marie
F: 8B(10)W(55.0)
( J-Terry Moseley )
( T-Emma Wyatt )
Only fair on debut but it didn't get all favours in the run. That came against a tough field, so this should be more to its liking.
Consider
11 High Tide
F:B(6)W(55.0)
( J-Yogesh Atchamah )
( T-Kimberley Hodgson )
On debut, and it's bred to show some early speed. Solid enough trial form, and dropping to 54kg should give it every chance to win. Worth including.
Longer Odds
9 Barrys Label
F:B(1)W(55.0)
( J-Akshay Balloo )
( T-Danny Frye )
Another runner on debut. It gets all favours off the inside draw, and it could save its best for race day.

12 Queen Of Sheba
Dividend : $1.70
Place
F:B(2)W(54.0)
( J-Terry Moseley )
( T-Anna Furlong )
It has looked the goods at the trials, and it hasn't been missed in betting markets. Gets a good run from the draw, and the odds could keep shortening.
Main Danger
10 Ermine Street
F: 8B(3)W(54.0)
( J-Kylie Williams )
( T-Lyn Prendergast )
Better than what it showed on debut when running eighth. Less depth to this field, and it could fire up at each-way odds.

1 Thunderfist
Dividend : $2.80, $1.40
Won
F: X258XB(4)W(58.5)
( J-Corey Campbell )
( T-Bruce Tapper )
Overdue a win after some good efforts, and it ran second fresh up last prep. Could hit the ground running again, and it's deserving of a win.
Consider
3 Canterbury Flight
F: 7XB(7)W(56.5)
( J-Donovan Cooper )
( T-Ross Beckett )
Seventh on the synthetic, but it could enjoy racing on a grass surface. Spelled, and it could sneak under the radar close to start time.

F: 68X6XB(6)W(56.5)

Place
F: 90587B(7)W(55.5)
( J-Kylie Williams )

Not much form to recommend, but this isn't a strong field, and having Williams in the saddle helps. Could show enough improvement to win.
Main Danger
4 House Of Tudor
F: X7025B(8)W(58.0)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-Sarah & Matthew Smith )
Mixing its form this prep, including a second placing two back. Not far away last time out, and it deserves to be the favourite.
Next Best
3 Wal
F: 47544B(3)W(59.0)
( J-Kendra Bakker )
( T-Ainsley McLeod )
Never too far away from the prize, and we're happy to give it another chance. 3kg comes off its back, which is enough to take it close here.
Consider
7 El Fuego
F: 0X363B(11)W(57.0)
( J-Akshay Balloo )
( T-Malcolm Price )
Two placings from three starts this time in, so it's getting close to scoring an overdue win. Not much to beat here, so it's worth backing.

5 Our Princess Boot
F: 75679B(2)W(58.0)
( J-Yogesh Atchamah )

Just needs to find a length or two to find its best form. Gets some weight off, which is a bonus.

Place
F: 63543B(3)W(59.0)
( J-Ruvanesh Muniandy )

Two placings this prep, and like our top pick, it never runs a bad race. Can't be left out of picks, and most of the money has come for it.
Next Best
4 Avitus
F: 40300B(2)W(57.5)
( J-Akshay Balloo )
( T-Steven Woodsford )
Its last two runs were too bad to be true, so we're giving it another chance. Unbeaten in two starts at Ashburton, so getting back to this track helps.
Consider
9 Game Duke
F: 25953B(5)W(55.0)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-Len & Lacy Stewart )
Another runner that has been close to the mark this prep without winning. Drawn and well weighted, so it can't be left out at the price.

F: 8761XB(4)W(59.0)

F: 1086XB(2)W(59.5)

F: 4X749B(1)W(54.5)
