These are our selections for this particular meeting - and an indication of 'how we performed'. It will also give you an insight as to what to expect when you subscribe to our service.
While some stables have their horses winning on debut, we find this stable invariably gives them a run, maybe spells them, or then prepares them to win second up. This one fits that category

Lovely first run and will be winning. But Craig Grylls will have to work all of his magic to be winning this from such a wide gate
Consider
8 Van Pelt
F: 5B(11)W(56.5)
( J-Tayla Mitchell )
( T-Todd Mitchell )
Although 5th, and at long odds, on debut two weeks ago, it exceeded expectations and was just over 1 1/2 lengths away

5 Romantic Patch
F:B(6)W(57.0)
( J-Corentin Berge )
( T-Margaret Falconer )
On what we've seen at the trials, you might need to have it in your multis, with this goof French jockey in the saddle

Place
F: 2B(4)W(57.5)
( J-Opie Bosson )

F: 2B(8)W(55.5)

7 Al Azhar
F: 4XB(7)W(55.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

F: 0X55B(5)W(57.5)

F: 6XB(1)W(55.0)

Spelled after going OK in its debut here in May and now resumes, having won a trial to prepare. Its task has been made easier through scratchings
Main Danger

Dividend : $1.80
Place
F: X3722B(2)W(55.0)
( J-Tayla Mitchell )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Trainer took south for two runs at New Plymouth over the Christmas period and rewarded with two second placings. That travelling will have sharpened it up too

Won
F: 5B(4)W(57.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Not well supported in the market on debut and ran accordingly. But this stable has a lot of second up runners and we can expect a lot better this time
Consider
9 Katamuku
F: 7XB(3)W(56.5)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Samantha Logan )
Trainer has been putting out a few winners recently. This one won a trial prior to debut so the ability is there
Longer Odds

F: X380XB(5)W(56.5)
( J-Rory Hutchings )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
One of three these trainers have in the race and does look a chance. This 1100m ideal fresh up and Rory rides

8 Lofty Manuel
F: 55X32B(8)W(56.5)
( J-Tayla Mitchell )
( T-Shelley Hale )
Three runs last campaign before resuming last month. Significantly improved and now third up, the step up to 2100m should be ideal
Main Danger
12 Irish Flute
F: 494B(3)W(55.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Tony Pike )
Promising Tony Pike runner and is right in this after scratchings have opened up the field
Next Best
14 The Ritz
F: 6004B(10)W(55.0)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
All 4 career starts have come since November, and has got better with each run. Coincidentally, each race has seen it go up in distance and so the extra 300m here should be perfect
Consider
4 Bertie Wooster
Dividend : $2.10
Place
F: X7854B(2)W(58.5)
( J-Darren Danis )

Has been finishing a bit off them in recent races but it won't take much improvement to see it in the mix

3 Let's Dance
F: X3375B(7)W(58.5)
( J-Rihaan Goyaram )

6 Toruk Makto
F: 71992B(1)W(59.0)
( J-Rory Hutchings )
( T-Bruce Wallace & Grant Cooksley )
We've always liked the look of this 4yo and it made a good fist of its first effort over this distance last start. Rails draw is to its advantage here
Main Danger
4 Incredible
F: 5X087B(5)W(59.5)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
This stable scratched their more favoured runner in this. It was only 3 1/2 lengths behind Top Dollar at Taupo, in its first run over ground
Next Best
9 Fastdeeldun
F: 0X390B(7)W(58.0)
( J-Wiremu Pinn )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Up to 2100m for the first time and that might be the thing that brings a better result. On the quick back up, a good sign
Consider
8 Super Contented
F: 4X000B(8)W(58.5)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
Form isn't too encouraging but this field has been decimated through overnight scratchings so it comes into play

F: 62335B(4)W(57.5)

Surely this Tony Pike runner breaks maidens today. Considered good enough to take on a Stakes field last time and ran a very respectable race. Full of promise and this is easier
Main Danger
11 Burnerphone
Dividend : $1.80
Place
F: 543B(5)W(55.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )

Next Best
9 Electric Angel
Dividend : $1.80
Place
F: 2B(3)W(55.5)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Has to have a bit of ability if running out of the Stephen Marsh stable and showed that when running second on debut. Little depth in this field so, with that experience, should be in the money again
Consider
10 Artissimo
F: 03B(7)W(55.5)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
Much improved run in its second start and the second in that race, Lofty Manuel, might boost the form in Race 4 today
Longer Odds
14 Laura
F: 7B(6)W(55.5)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Fought on well after being on the pace on debut. Will be a much better proposition this time

3 Quondo
Dividend : $1.80
Place
F: 1270B(8)W(58.5)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
Ran second in the Hawkes Bay Guineas at only its second start and both runs since have been Stakes races, including when resuming. Never a chance there but will be improved and looks the class horse inn the race, to us
Main Danger
2 Skymax
F: 02373B(7)W(59.0)
( J-Rory Hutchings )
( T-Team Rogerson )
Looks likely to be in the places here and you'd want it in your multis, as it has been close up in all of its last four races
Next Best
1 Lerado
F: 98X08B(5)W(59.5)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Third up and should have the fitness to show its best today. Despite coming out of gate 14 last time, it finished just 2 1/2 lengths off the winner

F: X0351B(2)W(56.5)

Stephen Marsh runner coming into this after putting them away nicely at Ruakaka. Inside draw to advantage
Longer Odds
13 Urlar
F: 0X264B(4)W(56.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Tony Pike )
We think this 5yo should have won more than the one race as it has run some good races at times and has been second 4 times.
What an improvement the step up to 1600m for the first time made last month. With the stable continuing to produce winners, this is the one to send punters home happy
Main Danger
12 Rob's Mistake
Dividend : $2.50
Place
F: 69X85B(10)W(56.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Hanna Orting and Sophia Nolan )
Has had two races since resuming from a 5 month spell and looks progressive. We like the booking of Masa today, who will give it every chance
Next Best
11 Rufus
F: 86X46B(15)W(57.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
The winner of its last race, from Wanganui, is a promising type while the second has gone on to win since. Craig Grylls takes the reins and just needs to overcome the wide draw
Consider
6 Cosmic Pursuit
Dividend : $2.90
Place
F: 4B(7)W(58.5)
( J-Ryan Elliot )

It's 6 weeks since this Tony Pike runner well on debut and looks very promising. Needs to be taken into your reckoning

15 So Be It
F: 7B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Elen Nicholas )
( T-Simon Rees )
Started at $75 when on debut two weeks ago, and ran well to be less than 3 lengths away. Nice draw and will improve out of that experience
