  F: 33522   B(8)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Ruvanesh Muniandy )

   ( T- Shankar Muniandy )

  Four times placed from its 8 runs, the extra 200m and the improved rack conditions from two weeks ago should see it break through for its first win today

  Main Danger

  

  7 Private Treaty  

  Dividend : $2.10

  Place

  F: 20362   B(1)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Leah Hemi )

  Leah Hemi returns to the saddle of this 4yo mare today and she has a good record on the Richard Didham runners. Rails draw

  9 Taimate Staar  

  F: 8X043   B(11)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Kylie Williams )

   ( T- Andrew Carston )

  Just in behind Private Treaty last start and that could prove to be a good formline

  Consider

  Won

  F: 7X444   B(2)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Billy Jacobson )

   ( T- Lisa Young )

  Best run to date when 2 lengths in arrears of Private Treaty at Ashburton and might well improve further

  12 Cocomora  

  F: 75023   B(6)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Billy Jacobson )

   ( T- Anna Furlong )

  Two lengths behind Kids Got Gears last time but might get the better of it this time. Just the 6 runs to date so has upside

  Main Danger

  

  3 Villasanti  

  Dividend : $3.30, $1.70

  Won

  F: 22332   B(4)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Kate Hercock )

   ( T- Jamie Bullard )

  One of those types that always finds one to beat it, having run second 6 times and 3 thirds in its 9 starts. Looks sure to be in the money again

  Next Best

  

  1 Kids Got Gears  

  F: X3592   B(5)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Brandon May )

   ( T- Nayton Mitchell )

  Has been better since moving up to 1600m this campaign and was only beaten a head last time

  Consider

  

  7 Knockingatthedoor  

  F: 297   B(3)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Krishna Mudhoo )

   ( T- Andrew Carston )

  First two starts were in Stakes races so clearly the connections feel it has ability

  Longer Odds

  

  4 Watson  

  F: 30404   B(11)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Leah Hemi )

   ( T- Sandy Cunningham )

  Race 3 - BEAUFORT DOWNS AT KARAKA 2026 MAIDEN

  Time: 3:58 PM | Distance: 1200 m | Prize $ 25000
• Top Pick

  

  11 Lady Maxima  

  F: 2X   B(10)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Kate Hercock )

   ( T- Lance Robinson )

  Won a trial prior to debut in September, when it went out favourite and was only beaten 1/2 length. With the benefit of its subsequent spell, sure to come back stronger and very hard to beat

  Main Danger

  

  13 Red Star Rhonda  

  F: 83   B(5)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Leah Hemi )

   ( T- Richard Didham )

  We don't think this one will be long in winning a race. Well fancied on debut two back, it was never a winning chance but this jockey took the reins last start and it was a much improved run

  Next Best

  

  10 Full Cream  

  F: 0X822   B(4)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Amber Riddell )

   ( T- Russell McKay & Ashley Harrington )

  Twice second from its 5 starts, it looks promising. Good run at Ashburton 3 weeks ago following a big run for second when just beaten at head at $65!

  Consider

  

  14 Sunshine  

  F: 8X63   B(6)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Brett Murray )

   ( T- Terri Rae )

  Progressive and comes here after a close up run into third two weeks ago. The second that day has won since to frank the form

  Longer Odds

  Best "Roughie"

  

  5 Knight Guru  

  F: 6X   B(3)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Darren Danis )

   ( T- Sandy Cunningham )

  Obviously well considered at home as ran in a strong Stakes race here in August, when on debut. Resumes and will have matured

• Top Pick

  

  7 Maybe Diva  

  F: 15128   B(1)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Brandon May )

   ( T- Andrew Carston )

  This 5yo mare looks like a good horse in the making, having won two of its six races, both on this track. Only began racing this year so has been given time to mature

  Main Danger

  

  3 Malmaison  

  F: X0603   B(8)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Bruno Queiroz )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Te Akau runner that found the opposition a bit easier when a close up third at Timaru two weeks ago. With Bruno sticking, you've got to like its chances

  Next Best

  

  4 Full Moon Fever  

  F: 44506   B(5)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Leah Hemi )

   ( T- Terri Rae )

  The lessor fancied of Terri Rae's runners but we rate it a chance. Leah Hemi sticks and adds to its chances

  Consider

  

  1 Texas Dolly  

  Dividend : $4.00, $1.40

  Won

  F: X8530   B(6)  W(60.5)

   ( J- Floor Moerman )

   ( T- Terri Rae )

  First race since the Riccarton Cup meeting two months ago but, knowing this trainer, it will be well prepared for its return. Drops back from very good opposition in Open races then

  Longer Odds

  

  5 Second Chance  

  Dividend : $2.90

  Place

  F: 44101   B(7)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Kate Hercock )

   ( T- Anna Furlong )

  10 Hello Bess  

  F: 16   B(6)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Bruno Queiroz )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Te Akau and Bruno could be in for a good day, as this one won at odds on on debut before being in behind the placegetters, in a race won by the heavily gambled on Our Clarry. This is easier

  Main Danger

  

  1 Pizarro  

  Dividend : $3.10, $1.60

  Won

  F: 00X41   B(1)  W(60.0)

   ( J- Akshay Balloo )

   ( T- Bridget Woodsford )

  Ex northerner that won just its second start in the south, bolting in by over 4 lengths on the synthetic. That was nearly 6 weeks ago and might be found out in the latter stages. Rails draw

  Next Best

  

  3 Holdem  

  Dividend : $2.50

  Place

  F: 110X9   B(4)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Amber Riddell )

   ( T- Meg Cunneen )

  Beaten just over 4 lengths when resuming two weeks ago and will be improved. That was a R75 and drops back in class here, while talented Wanganui jockey takes over

  Consider

  

  7 The Fed Express  

  F: 13   B(7)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Krishna Mudhoo )

   ( T- Andrew Carston )

  Good trainer and this one good enough to win on debut. Subsequently ran third in a Stakes race before spelling. Today we'll get more of an idea around its ability

  Longer Odds

  

  2 Dragon Biscuit  

  Dividend : $2.30

  Place

  F: 0X375   B(11)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Tina Comignaghi )

   ( T- Cheri Trembath )

  Looked to have good prospects earlier in its career but never really met those expectations. Tina sticks yet again and that's a good sign

  7 Purple Prose  

  F: 158X2   B(1)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Bruno Queiroz )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Is this another winner for this trainer/jockey combination here? Certainly a good return to the track two weeks ago and unfortunate to come up against the heavily gambled on Our Clarry that day. Rails draw should be the winning edge

  Main Danger

  

  3 Mogul  

  F: 29303   B(6)  W(59.5)

   ( J- Tina Comignaghi )

   ( T- Andrew Carston )

  This one finished alongside Purple Prose last time and now Tina is in the saddle. Makes it very hard to beat

  Next Best

  

  1 Nuncio  

  F: 92642   B(5)  W(60.0)

   ( J- Terry Moseley )

   ( T- Les Didham )

  Terrific run when resuming after going well at the Riccarton Cup festival two months ago and will take good benefit from that

  Consider

  

  11 Red Label  

  F: 63219   B(4)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Kendra Bakker )

   ( T- Lance Robinson )

  Won at Ashburton by 5 lengths two back so was very disappointed at Kurow two weeks ago. Can bounce back

  Longer Odds

  

  9 Flower Moon  

  F: 09091   B(11)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Kylie Williams )

   ( T- Centaine Spittles )

  Does look good EW value considering it beat Nuncio last time ... and now Kylie Williams rides

  Place

  F: X8056   B(10)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Bruno Queiroz )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Stable has two in the race. Astute trainers they are, it did look to be going better when dropped back to R65 last time and we'll see further improvement today

  Main Danger

  

  6 Akenehi  

  Dividend : $3.70, $1.90

  Won

  F: X3143   B(4)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Leah Hemi )

   ( T- Terri Rae )

  Strong trainer/jockey combination and not far away last start. There's little depth in this field and will be in the mix at the business end

  1 Rule Of Law  

  F: 28X28   B(1)  W(59.5)

   ( J- Joe Doyle )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Te Akau also run this 5yo and it has run OK in two races back, without threatening. Rails draw today

  15 Honoka  

  F: 45100   B(6)  W(55.5)

  2 Naval Command  

  F: 00201   B(9)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Brandon May )

   ( T- Robyn Ayton )

  Broke maidens at its 16th time of asking at Timaru two weeks ago and, although it has taken time, it has gone good races before and that win will give it new confidence

  F: X7371   B(7)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Tina Comignaghi )

   ( T- Sophie Hargreaves & Naomi Murfitt )

  5yo with just the 5 runs and has made good progress to win its last start, after being stepped up in distance. Tina rode last time and is the key to its chances here

  13 Wry Smile  

  F: 38644   B(4)  W(56.5)

  15 Shockabella
