Won
F: 2XB(3)W(56.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Paul Richards )
On debut and scratched in the previous race in preference for this. Has shown up in trials going back as far as March. But what is of note is that Craig Grylls rode it in its most recent trial and now takes the race day ride

Place

Dividend : $2.50
Place
F:B(11)W(57.0)

Main Danger
10 Dida
F:B(5)W(57.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Roger James & Robert Wellwood )
Not the strongest of fields and this 3yo on debut has been well supported for its first race. Was scratched at New Plymouth yesterday in preference for this, and Opie rides
Next Best
1 Horrie
F: 33533B(12)W(58.5)
( J-Elen Nicholas )
( T-Moira & Kieran Murdoch )
Four times placed from its 9 starts so can be expected to put up a good showing again. Extra 200m today
Consider
14 Merriama
F: 3B(14)W(55.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Kylie Hoskin )
Very promising run into third on debut and sure to be improved. Stable on a good run too and would have been rated higher but for wide draw
Longer Odds
8 Entabeni
F: 5B(8)W(57.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Danny Walker & Arron Tata )
Just 2 1/2 lengths behind Merriama last time so does look relative EW value in this

Top Pick
2 Linkin Park
F: 68922B(6)W(58.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Sam Mynott )
7yo maiden after 22 starts isn't too inspiring on the face of it. But front running tactics in its last two have seen it just beaten on both occasions, and last time was particularly good as it went clear 600m from home but fought all the way to the line when caught
Main Danger
4 Kudos
F: 2956B(5)W(58.5)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )
( T-Moira & Kieran Murdoch )
Has shown good promise in 4 runs to date and will be winning, maybe today. Jasmine is on the reins and that's a positive

F: 7B(11)W(57.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Roger James & Robert Wellwood )
Will be better for debut run behind Miss Fladgate three weeks ago. And that form-line has been made to look a lot better with that Stephen Marsh runner having won a $75k race last Saturday
Consider

Dividend : $5.10
Place
F: X88X4B(2)W(57.0)

( J-Corentin Berge )

4 Vendabelle
F: 48X35B(8)W(57.5)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )

As well as running well when resuming, particularly liked its run in what was a good maiden at Taupo 4 weeks ago
Main Danger
15 Pine Leaf
F: 97B(10)W(56.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
Looks a good prospect after finishing in behind them in its first two runs. Joe Doyle is riding really well and trainer has turned to him to bring the improvement
Next Best
13 Wee Nessy
F: 5B(9)W(56.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Barbara Kennedy )
If Swiss Prince is good form-line, then this one wins. Was a $90 shot when beaten just a length in a maiden by that one, 19 days ago, and that has gone on to win a G2 last Saturday!

Dividend : $2.70
Place
F: 8X373B(10)W(59.0)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Peter & Shaun McKay )
Two time winner (plus 11 times placed) so has the pedigree to lay claim to the win here. And might well do too, as stable prepares them so well
Main Danger
5 Proudtobehere
F: 076X5B(1)W(57.0)
( J-Elen Nicholas )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
Now a 5yo, will be stronger and showed that with an improved run when resuming. Takes improvement and this is a weak field. Rails draw
Next Best
12 Guiding Light
F: 324B(6)W(54.5)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Steven Ramsay & Julia Ritchie )
Has been thereabouts in all three runs but today is a maiden against winners, so not sure it should be that short in the market
Consider

Dividend : $3.10
Place
F: 62703B(4)W(56.0)

4 Sally
F: 60304B(5)W(57.5)
( J-Hayley Hassman )

Only 3/4 length behind Don Pauly last time, in its best run for sometime. Further improvement puts it in the mix

3 Sir Fergus
F: 1X0B(7)W(58.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Barbara Kennedy )
Won on debut back in May. This trainer has a very good strike rate and after one run back, we can expect this 4yo to be there at the business end today. Interested to nore Craig Grylls is riding
Main Danger

Dividend : $3.30
Place
F: 071X0B(2)W(58.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )

In what is a field with very little depth, this one stands out as a chance, as it has run well in its short career. Fitter for recent run

Won
F: 43X20B(4)W(60.0)

Consider
4 Soaring Pengshan
F: X5310B(8)W(58.5)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Shane Crawford )
Led them a merry chase to win two back when punted heavily. However, all was not well when it dropped out in its next run. Resumes now and could test them
Longer Odds
8 Andorra
F: 3416XB(3)W(57.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Moira & Kieran Murdoch )
Resumes after finishing close up in all previous runs. Warren Kennedy rides, despite his wife training one of the favourites in the race
