  12 Hot Card  

  F: 8X1   B(3)  W(55.5)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- Lance Noble )

  Progressed so much during its 5 month spell and we really liked the way it took control of its resuming run at Taupo. Good draw and stable in hot form

  Main Danger

  

  3 Sabik  

  F: X30X2   B(4)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Tayla Mitchell )

   ( T- Alex Oliveira )

  5yo with just the six runs, one of which it won. Mature enough to be putting these to the test

  F: 30X21   B(1)  W(57.0)

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Had 'improver' written all over it when resuming to finish second to a good prospect and duly got home next up. Likely to be in the mix

  2 Customized  

  F: 0X34X   B(7)  W(59.5)

   ( J- Rory Hutchings )

   ( T- Steven Cole )

  Resuming from a break but has trialled. With Rory Hutchings adding a lot to its chances, it's our odds player in the first of a big day of racing

  1 Golden Wings  

  Dividend : $1.70, $1.10

  Won

  F: 2X2   B(5)  W(58.5)

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( T- Hanna Orting and Sophia Nolan )

  Well considered 4yo that was odds on for its debut back in April before sent to the paddock to develop. But for the wide draw, would have won its resuming run two weeks ago but shouldn't be getting beaten today

  Main Danger

  

  12 Fleeting Star  

  Dividend : $2.30

  Place

  F: 23   B(4)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Wiremu Pinn )

   ( T- Graham Richardson & Rogan Norvall )

  If we're so bullish about Golden Wings, then this one has to be a chance, as it was only two lengths behind at its last start

  Next Best

  

  8 Navy Ensign  

  Dividend : $1.90

  Place

  F: 2   B(1)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Matthew Cameron )

   ( T- Murray Thompson )

  Although it had won its only trial, went off at good odds in a strong maiden on debut, and signalled its potential when running second to the smart Well Written, a big winner since. Rails draw today

  Consider

  

  13 Confectionist  

  F: 35   B(3)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Sam Weatherley )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Stephen Marsh runner that has been close up in both its runs to date and has to be considered on the back of the early support it's seen in the market

  Longer Odds

  

  9 Argo  

  F: 6X34   B(6)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Tony Pike )

  Certainly looks the value at these odds, having been only two lengths behind Golden wings here two weeks ago, and alongside Fleeting Star

  10 Moretothinkabout  

  F: 209   B(13)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Considered good enough to run in the HB Guineas when resuming but didn't show anything on what was a Heavy9 track. Ran behind its stablemate in a maiden here last time and that one went on to win a G2 last Saturday

  Main Danger

  

  1 Toruk Makto

  Won

  F: 840X7   B(7)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Sam McNab )

   ( T- Bruce Wallace & Grant Cooksley )

  The form of this race is around last Saturday's G2 winner and if running up to its last run, this one will go close, being fitter for its resuming run

  Next Best

  

  7 Navy Dreams  

  Dividend : $1.40

  Place

  F: 2X292   B(14)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

   ( T- Barry Donoghue )

  Beaten just a head by Swiss Prince two weeks ago and given that has now won a G2, you have to rate its chances. Like our Top pick, will need luck to overcome wide draw

  Consider

  

  9 Dream Maker  

  F: 92   B(8)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Joe Doyle )

   ( T- Shaune Ritchie & Colm Murray )

  Only the 3 runs so still learning and that was an improved effort last time, especially as it come out of gate 13. Good draw today

  Longer Odds

  

  13 Reliable Squeeze  

  F: 22268   B(6)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Corentin Berge )

   ( T- Peter Lock )

  This one was only 2 1/2 lengths away in Swiss Prince's maiden win so the odds it's going off at, is probably your best EW bet

  4 Aksil  

  F: 1   B(7)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Joe Doyle )

   ( T- Simon & Katrina Alexander )

  Trialled for 6 months, winning the last of them, at which time the stable went to race day. Put in a very impressive performance and there was only going to be one winner up the straight. Could be very good

  Main Danger

  

  5 Bulgari  

  F: 1X664   B(5)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Sam Weatherley )

   ( T- Darryn & Briar Weatherley )

  Won on a Good track on debut in April before being given time with a 6 month spell. Third up last time and finished fourth, looking like it had more to give. Sam rides for the family stable today

  F: 31   B(6)  W(58.0)

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( T- Pam Gerard )

  Caught punters out in early September when winning a Listed race at odds of 68/1. But astute trainer wasn't surprised and, having freshened it since, she will have it ready to go again today

  6 Happy Youmzain  

  F: 4X14   B(8)  W(57.0)

  F: 54X89   B(10)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Lynda German )

  Liked the way this one stuck to its task in the straight at Ellerslie and although it has ground to make up on Hakkinen from that race, the key is the booking of Matt Cartwright

  9 Fosse  

  F: X4X27   B(7)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Steven Ramsay & Julia Ritchie )

  Two terrific runs this campaign. Don't be put off by its 7th placing last time, as it was only 2 lengths off the winner and only 1 1/2 lengths behind Hakkinen

  1 Hakkinen  

  F: 448X3   B(12)  W(61.5)

   ( J- Hayley Hassman )

  Looks to own its share of ability but has a wide draw to overcome here today. Had Bulgari behind it last time and we rate that one's chances in Race 4

  6 Billy Blinx  

  F: 48X21   B(11)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

  F: 17X05   B(2)  W(60.0)

  Place

  F: 24964   B(5)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Andrew Forsman )

  This trainer is adept at bringing his runners off the synthetic to winning on the turf. Ran them close on the turf here over 2100m last start and will love the 2400m journey

  11 Heza Sharp One  

  F: 63631   B(12)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Rory Hutchings )

  Consider

  

  1 Pacheco  

  F: 33621   B(1)  W(62.0)

   ( J- Liam Kauri )

   ( T- Shaun Phelan )

  An 8yo now and running better than ever. Stamina won't be an issue as it won over 2600m at Taupo last start, with Novak in second ... and that one franked the form when winning last week

  4 Tardelli  

  F: 28X13   B(8)  W(60.5)

   ( J- Sam McNab )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  A smart 4yo that has come back from its spell to win fresh up (beating Cannon Hill) before becoming undone by the wide barrier draw last start. Will pick them up over the later stages today, with an extra 100m and talented apprentice bring the 3kg claim

  Main Danger

  

  11 Keegan  

  F: 214X5   B(7)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Vinnie Colgan )

   ( T- Ben & Ryan Foote )

  Finished in behind them when resuming in Open company at Taupo 3 weeks ago and it had some decent ones in front of it, including Talisker. One to stick with this campaign

  Won

  F: 1X526   B(3)  W(55.0)

   ( T- Tony Pike )

  Tony Pike runner that won't be far away but has been beaten in both starts this time up by Tardelli, as has 4 lengths to make up on it from two weeks ago. We don't see that happening

  F: 60X40   B(1)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Darren Danis )

  F: 0X572   B(6)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Wiremu Pinn )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  This prolific winner is the class runner of the field and its current campaign will have it at its peak today, and as such, very hard to beat. Likely to run along on the pace and kick on in the straight

  Main Danger

  

  3 The Odyssey  

  F: 16X31   B(2)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Courtney Barnes )

   ( T- Ben & Ryan Foote )

  Unbeaten in two runs on the track, this one's CV is pretty impressive when you note its 7 wins have come from just 21 starts. At peak fitness at just the right time and after winning impressively here over 1600m just 10 days ago, the 20000m will be perfect now

  Dividend : $2.00

  Place

  F: X7483   B(4)  W(59.0)

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( T- Team Rogerson )

  There doesn't look to be much depth in this field so, given this one finished only just over a length behind El Vencedor last start, a placing looks a real possibility

  Consider

  

  11 Aftermath  

  F: X4424   B(1)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Joe Doyle )

  F: 4X15   B(6)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Sam Weatherley )

   ( T- Darryn & Briar Weatherley )

  Showed it had trained on well when winning its first race back after a 6 month spell, and then not far away in a hotly contested race here two weeks ago. Just the 3 starts to date, so plenty of upside

  15 Love Symbol  

  F: 35X14   B(5)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )
