Place

Dividend :
Place
F: 83956B(6)W(59.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Stephen Marsh runner and is never far off the winner. On the quick back up and that's generally a good sign. Scratching provide good opportunity

F: 85106B(5)W(58.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Graham Richardson & Rogan Norvall )
A winner three back, Craig Grylls rides for the first time today and that's the key to its chances

Won
F: X9085B(2)W(59.5)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Darryn & Briar Weatherley )

Consider
11 Tarzador

( J-Ryan Elliot )
( T-Team Rogerson )

Dividend : $1.00
Place
F: 23B(7)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
F: 234B(3)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
Next Best

F:B(4)W(55.0)
( J-Corentin Berge )

Dividend : $1.40
Place
F: 267X3B(6)W(56.5)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Will take improvement from its resuming run 3 weeks ago and if it can overcome the wide draw, will be there at the business end
Longer Odds

( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Ray Fleming )
Has taken on the best in its age group in its last 3 runs and has run respectably. This a whole lot easier and should be winning

Dividend : $1.70
Place
F: 4B(6)W(55.0)
( J-Vinnie Colgan )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

Place
F: 6X258B(4)W(58.5)
( J-Matthew Cameron )

Three seconds from 9 starts and has often been considered a winning chance. Possible it can run into a place
Consider
6 Madame Kiwi
F: 06X87B(3)W(56.5)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Debbie Sweeney )
Sam Collett takes over on this 4yo mare and will be sure to add to its chances
Longer Odds
5 Apex
F: 9X9X6B(5)W(56.5)
( J-Corentin Berge )
( T-Catherine Cameron )
A $97 shot when resuming at the beginning of the month and surprised in finishing less than 3 lengths off the winner! It clearly improved over its spell
This Te Akau 3yo looks to be progressing in the right direction and Opie, having brought the improvement at Tauranga 3 weeks ago, retains the reins
Main Danger
10 Clara Bow
Dividend : $1.20
Place
F: 34B(5)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
Next Best
11 Moonbeams
F: 7L55B(4)W(55.0)
( J-Elen Nicholas )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
Third up in second campaign today and trainer's only runner here today. No depth in the race so definite place chance
Consider
1 Whatthemansaw
F: 002B(3)W(58.5)
( J-Lynsey Satherley )
( T-Debbie Sweeney )
Only beaten a length, when at very long odds last time. Only its 4th start today so might well carry on with that improvement
Longer Odds

Place
F: 8769B(1)W(56.5)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )
( T-Graham Richardson & Rogan Norvall )
