F: 236X1B(7)W(56.5)
( J-Opie Bosson )

Place
F: 11B(4)W(60.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )

Although unbeaten in two runs, this 5yo hasn't won by far in each race. But with Sibling Rivalry scratched, it does look the quinella
Next Best
7 Falcrests Belle
F: 6X331B(1)W(56.5)
( J-Kate Hercock )
( T-Nikki Hurdle )
Another late to the races, it is a 5yo with just the 4 runs. Could rise through the grades if its 7 1/2 length win last time is any indication
Consider

( T-Shaune Ritchie & Colm Murray )

Place
F: 31B(12)W(57.0)

10 Dragon Blossom
F: 63321B(5)W(56.5)
( J-Bruno Queiroz )
( T-Pam Gerard )
Has been thereabouts in all recent runs and got through for its maiden win last time. Stable has found form and might well go back to back

( J-Opie Bosson )

Consider
14 Pacific Princess
F: 10366B(7)W(55.5)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-John Bary )

Place
F: 2X131B(10)W(55.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Allan Sharrock )
Was a class above them when winning the Wanganui Cup last time and this is no stronger. Stepped up to 2040m that day and looks to have quite a future in the stayers ranks
Main Danger
3 Sagunto
F: 08301B(5)W(54.5)
( J-Bruno Queiroz )
( T-Peter & Shaun McKay )
Just got the better of Freddie Time last start and this stable has a great strike rate on the track

( J-Wiremu Pinn )
( T-Peter and Trent Didham )
Has improved in every race this campaign and just got the nod in last time to win over 1400m. Trainer has a terrific record on this track and the extra 200 should suit this 5yo

Dividend : $3.60
Place
F: X0985B(2)W(54.5)
( J-Joe Doyle )

Next Best
11 Ma Te Wa
F: 11212B(1)W(53.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Robbie Patterson )
Only once out of the first two in six starts. Went so close last time we thought it had got the photo h, so has returned in great shape and now tries 1600m for the first time. Rails draw
Consider
3 Cannon Hill
F: 26138B(3)W(54.5)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Tony Pike )

( J-Samantha Collett )

Won
F: 1X004B(1)W(55.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )

F: 0X331B(14)W(57.0)
( J-Bruno Queiroz )
( T-Pam Gerard )
Outmuscled its stablemate close to home in the 2000Guineas last start and is still improving. Hard to beat with the wide draw/drop back to 1400m our concern
Consider
10 Road To Paris
F: 71LB(11)W(57.0)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Roger James & Robert Wellwood )
Was going to win a Stakes race last time only to shy short of the post and lose Masa. Looks to have good ability
Longer Odds
14 Cheerio
F: 31B(12)W(55.0)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-Cody Cole )
Only won a R60 last time, its second start, but it did it like a horse going places. Trainer wouldn't be running it in this if he didn't rate its chances

F: 2X421B(5)W(58.5)
( J-Wiremu Pinn )
( T-David Greene )
Ever so impressive when taking out the J Swap Sprint last time and even its humble trainer expressed how good this 5yo is. Wiremu Pinn is riding well and takes over today
Main Danger
15 Ardalio
F: 71X41B(10)W(56.5)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
This is a very progressive 4yo and comes into this after an impressive win over 1100m six weeks ago. Sure to be trained to the minute
Next Best
1 Crocetti
F: 3120XB(8)W(58.5)
( J-Warren Kennedy )

Resuming after running in Perth last start. We know how classy it is and it has won two trials in preparation
Consider
14 Tomodachi
F: 31X3XB(14)W(56.5)
( J-James McDonald )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
A winner of 6 from 10 starts, there's no doubting its ability but has it all to do coming out of gate 14, in its first run for over a year. Even if James McDonald is on the reins

A winner when having only its second start in May, it was then spelled. Picked up where it left off when resuming 3 weeks ago, cruising home with 3 1/2 lengths to spare. Improves and should be winning again
Main Danger
2 Wingman
F: 41536B(3)W(59.0)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
