Won
F:B(1)W(55.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
Comes to debut on the back of a good trial win. Can't oppose it, given its out of the Forsman stable and he often brings runners down with success. Rails draw

Place
F: 4B(6)W(57.0)
( J-Leah Hemi )
( T-Kurtis Pertab )
Trainer has brought a number of runners down from the north and we think this is his best chance. Won a trial in September before finishing off its debut in good fashion at Matamata 3 weeks ago
Main Danger
1 Billy Adams
F:B(1)W(58.5)
( J-Bruno Queiroz )
( T-Kevin & Stephen Gray )
Bolted in by 5 lengths in last of four trials 3 weeks ago, and with the rails draw to advantage, is the one our Top Pick has to beat

F: 55469B(5)W(59.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )

The best performed runner in the field with 3 wins and this stable has to be considered on this track

Although they're both based in Whanganui, Leah rarely rides for the Myers stable these days. But she is here
