  Race 1 - SKYCITY HAMILTON WAIKATO CUP PRELUDE OPEN HCP

  Time: 1:00 PM | Distance: 2400 m | Prize $ 50000
• Top Pick

  

  5 Notabadspillane  

  F: X4311   B(1)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Elen Nicholas )

   ( T- Shaun Phelan )

  It's tough to overlook back-to-back wins, and the small field only helps its cause. As does dropping in weight, so everything points towards a treble.

  Main Danger

  

  2 Diamond Jak  

  F: 15511   B(3)  W(60.5)

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

   ( T- Mark Brosnan )

  Rediscovered its best form this prep. Another runner coming off consecutive wins, and punters get better odds than the favourite.

  Dividend : $2.10

  Place

  F: 41335   B(5)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Tayla Mitchell )

   ( T- Kylie Fawcett )

  Liked its win earlier this prep before going three solid runs in defeat. Never too far away, and it should also appreciate the smaller field. Likely to sit handier to the speed.

  Consider

  Dividend : 

  Place

  F: 52664   B(4)  W(55.5)

   ( J- Joe Doyle )

   ( T- Chris Wood )

  Not quite rocking this season but never too far away either. Slight upsets can happen in small fields, and because it's never far away, it can't be overlooked.

  F: 1X000   B(2)  W(61.5)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Peter & Shaun McKay )

  Not showing its best but it owns a placing at the track. Likely to settle handy and kick well enough.

  5 Te Atatu Dream  

  F: 19532   B(8)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Joe Nishizuka )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  Nothing wrong with its recent form, and it keeps battling to the line nicely. Being on the speed helps here, and the claim is a welcome bonus.

  Main Danger

  

  6 Heza Sharp One  

  Dividend : $4.30, $1.80

  Won

  F: 56363   B(4)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Team Rogerson )

  The stable is having a good run, and it comes off an improved placing. The money has come, and getting Grylls in the saddle boosts its chances.

  Next Best

  

  4 Vougeot  

  F: 4551   B(3)  W(59.0)

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( T- Pam Gerard )

  Got past maidens with a good win last time out and it should be right around the mark again. More depth to this field, but it should measure up.

  Consider

  

  8 Blackwaterfoot  

  F: 96X53   B(9)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Joe Doyle )

   ( T- Shaune Ritchie & Colm Murray )

  Fitness levels are up after two solid runs this prep. Nothing wrong with its last-start placing, and it's sneaking under the radar at juicy each-way odds.

  Longer Odds

  

  9 Keen On Bubbles  

  F: 68362   B(2)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Kelly Myers )

   ( T- John Wheeler )

  Getting close to scoring an overdue win after two placings from its last start. We're keen enough to back it.

  8 Hostility  

  Indicative Odds: $ 2.60

  F: 22X77   B(15)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Getting no favours with wide barrier draws, but we're giving it one more chance. The ability is there for the high-priced runner, so put it on top.

  Main Danger

  

  14 Too Darn Sweet  

  Indicative Odds: $ 4.40

  F: 2   B(14)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Masa Hashizume )

   ( T- Sam Mynott )

  Kicking things off with a good second placing, and we're not surprised by the money coming for it. Drawn to get a sweeter run than the fav, so include.

  5 Undisputed  

  Indicative Odds: $ 9.00

  F: 0X   B(10)  W(58.5)

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( T- Roger James & Robert Wellwood )

  Couldn't land a knockout blow on debut, but the spell should have done it plenty of good. Specked at each-way odds, which is a good sign from this stable.

  Consider

  

  1 Capote  

  Indicative Odds: $ 11.00

  F: 42   B(6)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Vinnie Colgan )

   ( T- Brent Gillovic )

  A solid effort for second last time out and it's only the big weight counting against it. Looks good enough to carry it to another nice effort.

  16 La Reina  

  Indicative Odds: $ 9.50

  F:   B(11)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Joe Doyle )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  Betting against this stable isn't wise, especially its youngsters. Nice enough trial form, so it can't be left out.

  Indicative Odds: $ 7.50

  F: 166X   B(14)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- David Greene )

  Every chance of winning fresh up after winning on debut last season. Solid efforts in defeat since, and it could resume with another big effort.

  Main Danger

  

  4 Feel the Stag  

  Indicative Odds: $ 5.00

  F: 4331   B(5)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Matthew Cameron )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  It scored a good win to exit maidens last start, and it has every chance of rising through the grades. Only needs slight improvement to win.

  5 Inside Out  

  Indicative Odds: $ 8.00

  F: 155X   B(7)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Sam Weatherley )

   ( T- Darryn & Briar Weatherley )

  Another runner that won on debut before being defeated in two subsequent runs. Opened at double-figure odds before shortening.

  Indicative Odds: $ 7.00

  F: 27X44   B(6)  W(57.5)

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( T- Tony Pike )

  It has been running well against tidy fields, and this doesn't look out of its realm. Better than most in this field on its day, so give another chance.

  F: 53X80   B(11)  W(58.5)

  Much better than what its form suggests this time in. Allow another chance at the odds, which could shorten.

  Indicative Odds: $ 5.50

  F: 12   B(6)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Andrew Forsman )

  Beaten but not disgraced when running second last time out. That followed a good debut win, and it could take out the Group 2 feature.

  Main Danger

  

  2 He Who Dares  

  Indicative Odds: $ 3.70

  F: 125X2   B(1)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Not surprised to see it open as favourite. A good second placing when resuming, and the inside draw could prove important in this race. A solid win hope.

  Next Best

  

  1 Affirmative Action  

  Indicative Odds: $ 9.50

  F: 31   B(10)  W(57.0)

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( T- Pam Gerard )

  Liked the way it scored last start, and it could be going under the radar at double-figure odds. Stable could have some success up north today.

  Consider

  

  11 Too Sweet  

  Indicative Odds: $ 8.00

  F: 63X45   B(11)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Masa Hashizume )

   ( T- Roydon Bergerson )

  It was good enough to take on some hot opposition last season, and that form is starting to be franked. Another runner sneaking under the radar.

  Indicative Odds: $ 9.50

  F: 3X354   B(4)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Sam Weatherley )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Not at massive odds but we couldn't leave it out. The ability is there, and it deserves another chance.

  Indicative Odds: $ 4.40

  F: 48X52   B(8)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  At better odds than expected given its good second placing last start. It hit the line with purpose, and that form should hold up well here.

  Main Danger

  

  11 Mosinvader  

  Indicative Odds: $ 5.50

  F: 3224X   B(10)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  It enjoyed a consistent preparation last time in work, and it hasn't been left out of the market. Confidence in the betting, so that's a good sign.

  2 Wild Night

  F: 049X6   B(1)  W(60.0)

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Better than its form suggests, but it does need to improve to beat this field. We're happy to include it based on its previous top-end results.

  Consider

  

  4 Joshua Brown  

  Indicative Odds: $ 10.00

  F: 12105   B(4)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Lynsey Satherley )

   ( T- Lance Gussey )

  Disappointing two starts back but this race should be more to its liking. Often makes its own luck, and it runs best at Te Rapa with two wins and three placings.

  F: 2720X   B(5)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Andrew Forsman )

  Fresh up and ready to run a big race. It should get all favours from the draw with Grylls riding, and punters get each-way odds to snap up.

  Main Danger

  

  3 Sindee  

  Indicative Odds: $ 6.00

  F: 7331X   B(4)  W(59.5)

   ( J- Sam McNab )

   ( T- Allan Sharrock )

  Ended last campaign with a win, and we don't think it will need much time to get going this time in. Getting weight off its back is a bonus.

  Indicative Odds: $ 7.00

  F: 32113   B(10)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Vinnie Colgan )

   ( T- Brent Gillovic )

  It doesn't know how to run a bad race, so we're including the consistent type. Likely to loom at the top of the straight and be there in the finish.

  Indicative Odds: $ 7.50

  F: X7711   B(1)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Jasmine Fawcett )

   ( T- Ken & Bev Kelso )

  Massive upside after scoring back-to-back wins, and they usually stay in form from this stable. Drawing the rails only helps its cause.

  F: X1121   B(1)  W(60.0)

   ( J- Joe Nishizuka )

   ( T- Robbie Patterson )

  A late nomination following a win at Trentham last month. It looked good in a recent trial, and getting 3kg off its back and the inside draw bodes well.

  Indicative Odds: $ 7.00

  F: X10X4   B(15)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  It will only be improved following a solid fresh up effort. Likely to be shorter in betting markets had it drawn a barrier, but it can't be discounted.

  Turned its form around in a big way with a win, and the penny might have dropped now. That's reflected in betting markets, so include at each-way odds.

  Indicative Odds: $ 9.00

  F: 41X17   B(4)  W(56.5)
