7 Proud Capitalist
F: 04XB(7)W(56.0)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
It finished fourth behind spelling, and it's tough to rule out any runner from this stable at the moment. Expect improvement.
Consider
8 May Wirth
F:B(6)W(56.0)
( J-Chris Dell )
( T-Peter and Trent Didham )
On debut and this isn't an overly strong field. Could show enough pace to figure in the finish, and it has been specked.
Longer Odds

F:B(5)W(58.5)
( J-Leah Hemi )
( T-Andrew Froggatt )
It has a trial placing, and although not bred to be a star, it could boost payouts at nice odds.

Dividend : $1.40
Place
F:B(2)W(55.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
In the right hands and it looked good winning a trial at Pukekohe. Bred to be better than most here, and the odds are likely to shorten considerably.
Main Danger
1 Honour Roll
Dividend :
Place
F:B(1)W(57.0)
( J-Bruno Queiroz )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Te Akau doesn't miss with its 2YO runners on debut very often. Also bred to be good, and getting the inside draw only adds to its appeal.
Next Best
2 Charmstruck
F: 6B(7)W(57.0)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Peter and Trent Didham )
Not much went right on debut after getting back in the run. Should be better for the experience, and it hasn't been missed in betting.
Consider
8 She's A Weapon
F:B(5)W(55.0)
( J-Toni Davies )
( T-Peter and Trent Didham )
Gets down in the weights for its debut, and it could show something. Drifting odds, but it's bred for early speed, so consider.
Longer Odds
7 Platinum La Danse
F:B(6)W(55.0)
( J-Amber Riddell )
( T-Lisa Latta )
Stable is firing and they're always ready to go early in the prep. Worth including at the price.

Place
F: X539XB(7)W(58.0)
( J-Jonathan Riddell )
( T-Stephen Marsh )

Main Danger
2 Ardroe
F: 7X700B(4)W(60.0)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Lisa Latta )
It's better than its form suggests, and we're happy to give it another chance at the odds. Drawn well, and it could sneak under the radar.
Next Best

Dividend : $1.60
Place
F: 2135XB(1)W(57.0)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Peter and Trent Didham )

Won
F: 98940B(3)W(58.0)
( J-Rihaan Goyaram )
( T-Ralph Manning )
It needs to turn its form around, but there has been some money for it. Getting 2kg off its back could be enough to take it close.
Longer Odds

( J-Kate Hercock )

Top Pick
11 London
F:B(6)W(56.0)
( J-Bruno Queiroz )
( T-Kevin & Stephen Gray )
Bred to show something early and it looked good when placing in a recent trial. Not a strong maiden field, and it could capitalise.
Main Danger
5 Midnight Train
Dividend : $2.00, $1.20
Won
F: 52B(1)W(58.0)
( J-Erin Leighton )
( T-Ralph Manning )
Better for two race day starts, including a second placing. Not surprised to see money come for it, and getting the inside draw is ideal.
Next Best
2 Treasure Trove
F: 0X04B(9)W(58.5)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Cody Cole )
Showed nothing in its first two starts, but showed signs of life when running fourth last time out. Stick with it based on that run.
Consider
6 Borrowed Time
F: 7B(4)W(58.0)
( J-Kate Hercock )
( T-Matt Dixon )
Only fair on debut when seventh, but there is plenty of room for improvement. Stable typically gets them well-prepared.
Longer Odds

9 Pistachio
Dividend : $2.60
Place
F: 965B(5)W(56.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Peter and Trent Didham )
Appears to be a hard nut to crack, but it ran well enough for fifth last start, so include at odds.

2 Rabega
F: 2X412B(5)W(58.5)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Fraser Auret )
Always around the mark and it's consistent enough to win this race. Won well two back and punters get generous odds.
Main Danger
7 Paravane
F: 14X13B(8)W(55.0)
( J-Hayley Hassman )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Dropping to 53kg makes it a solid winning chance, especially after posting a win and a placing this preparation. A warm favourite.
Next Best
5 Sako
Dividend : $2.00
Place
F: X5465B(9)W(57.5)
( J-Jonathan Riddell )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Better than its form suggests, and we're giving it another chance. Just needs a touch of luck from the draw to go close.
Consider
6 Debbi Harri
F: X2533B(4)W(55.5)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-John Bary )
Three placings from four starts this campaign, and it gets the draw to settle close to the speed. Should kick on well from there.
Longer Odds
1 Riverplate
F: 66X49B(7)W(59.5)
( J-Elen Nicholas )
( T-Andrew Campbell )
Good enough to run in Aus, so it's good enough to beat this field.

Top Pick
5 Blue Jeanie
F: X3166B(3)W(54.5)
( J-Amber Riddell )
( T-Bryce Newman )
A lot to like about its win three back, and something close to that would be good enough. Punters get each-way odds to snap up.
Main Danger
6 Thrilling
Dividend : $1.60
Place
F: 21510B(5)W(54.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Lisa Latta )

Next Best
1 McKhan
F: 35X33B(1)W(61.5)
( J-Elen Nicholas )
( T-Ashley Meadows )
Getting close to scoring an overdue win with three placings from its last four starts. Deserves to be included at the odds.
Consider
2 Sheez Dominant
F: 21181B(4)W(59.0)
( J-Hayley Hassman )
( T-Fraser Auret )
Boasts three wins from its last four starts, and there is nothing wrong with that form. 2kg comes off its back, so everything points towards a nice showing.
Longer Odds
4 Ricochet
Dividend : $6.80, $2.00
Won
F: 8X530B(2)W(55.0)
( J-Jim Chung )
( T-Robbie Patterson )
Only fair last start, but a bounce back effort is expected. Chance at odds.
