  F: 80009   B(6)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Masa Hashizume )

   ( T- Hanna Orting and Sophia Nolan )

  That wasn't a bad field it was in at Te Rapa. Back to 1400m suits and Masa in the saddle can bring the required improvement

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

  F: 5X   B(1)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Tayla Mitchell )

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Stephen Marsh stepped it up to 2000m for the first time last start and it ran well, finishing just a length behind Born To Be Royal. Just the 7 runs to date so plenty of upside

  F: 9X674   B(13)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Wiremu Pinn )

  Indicative Odds: $ 2.60

  F: X8323   B(10)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Also over ground for the first time last start. With Craig Grylls taking over, you have to rate its chances, but drawn wide

  F: 90332   B(11)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Masa Hashizume )

   ( T- Shaun & Emma Clotworthy )

  Has been close up in last two starts and now steps up to 2000m for the first time. That could see it get the job done

  Main Danger

  F: 15859   B(4)  W(60.0)

   ( J- Samantha Collett )

   ( T- Maxim & Samantha Van Lierde )

  Interested to see Sam Collett reunited with this 5yo, after it was seen to be finishing to good effect over 2400m last time. Drops back to 2000m here but that should be OK as it has been freshened

  F: 83956   B(10)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Joe Doyle )

  Stephen Marsh runner and is never far off the winner. On the quick back up and that's generally a good sign

  F: 23   B(14)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Samantha Collett )

   ( T- Cody Cole )

  Showed up at the trials, winning both runs, and has gone two promising races since. Has drawn wide but we're going with it on the basis that this in-form jockey is on the reins, sticking with it after having also ridden Convinced in its preparations

  Main Danger

  

  9 Arctic Jewel  

  Indicative Odds: $ 4.40

  F: 234   B(8)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  This Te Akau runner has been well backed in all three runs but can't get its nose in front. Clearly it will do at short notice so has to be a strong chance today

  F:   B(9)  W(55.0)

  F: 34   B(7)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  There looks to be two main contenders for the win here and it would be a surprise if this one did win. Showed that its placing on debut, when at long odds, wasn't a one off when less than 2 lengths off the winner second up. Noted it won a trial in the Heavy too

  3/4 length behind Halo's Fire last time when up against a quality field, won by La Dorado. Drawn well today and that's a great form-line

  F: 154   B(13)  W(58.5)

  Mark Forbes might have a pretty good galloper here. Won on debut but more significantly, ran the classy La Dorado and co to less than 4 lengths last time. Would be rated higher if it had drawn better
