  12 Our Lurrina  

  Dividend : $1.60

  Place

  F: 5X1   B(4)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  Just the one run last May and spelled to mature. It clearly did as it just got home to win when resuming here prior to Christmas. We expect it to have improved further

  Main Danger

  

  2 Super Legocy  

  F: 77331   B(7)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Won easily two weeks ago and looks to have good upside. Opie sticks but has drawn wide

  Next Best

  

  11 Bolli Belle

  Won

  F: 1   B(2)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Hayley Hassman )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  As they often do, Te Akau took this 3yo filly to Wanganui for its debut and it won easily. Will be improved and today we'll get an indication of its potential

  Consider

  

  7 Atkins  

  F: 82213   B(8)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Cody Cole )

  5yo so has maturity on its side, as well as good ability. Wide draw the concern

  Longer Odds

  

  1 I'll Be Home Soon  

  F: 812   B(5)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Samantha Collett )

   ( T- Peter Lock )

  Has won one of 3 starts and will be winning again soon, based on what we've seen. Second to a promising galloper at Trentham last time

  Dividend : 

  Place

  F: 1X53   B(3)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Rory Hutchings )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  We gave this one a good chance at Te Rapa last start but, as it turned out, it came up against a very smart one on debut and couldn't pick up in the straight. Keeping the faith

  Main Danger

  

  10 Alacritous  

  F: 71X   B(3)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  One of Stephen Marsh's two runners and resumes from a long spell, after winning its second start last May. Has a good reputation at home and Craig Grylls has been handed the reins

  Next Best

  

  6 Scolera  

  Dividend : $2.10, $1.60

  Won

  F: 1224   B(1)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Samantha Collett )

   ( T- Jim Collett )

  A winner on debut, it has been close up in 3 subsequent runs and goes out as favourite. The rails draw is to advantage

  Consider

  

  7 High Emotion  

  F: 13273   B(7)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Stephen Marsh runner that finished a length ahead of Scolera last time and going well enough to be in the finish here again. Needs to overcome wide draw

  Longer Odds

  Dividend : $2.40

  Place

  F: 17632   B(2)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Joe Doyle )

  1 Kinnaird  

  F: 110   B(2)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Mystified to see this Te Akau runner finish last on Karaka Millions night. Looks the winner now Harvey Wallbanger has been an overnight scratching

  Main Danger

  

  5 Justin Case  

  Dividend : $4.20

  Won

  F: 21   B(4)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Samantha Collett )

   ( T- Kris Shailer )

  6 King Of The Air  

  Dividend : 

  Place

  F: 1   B(1)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Had an easy introduction to the game when taken to New Plymouth for debut. Duly won easily and today's field has been decimated by scratchings

  Consider

  Place

  F: 1137   B(3)  W(57.0)

  2 Roctave  

  F: 61052   B(6)  W(59.5)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Has looked much better since stepping up to middle distance and we note the fact that Craig Grylls has got off Crackercol to stick with it, after it has run second in a conditions race last time

  Main Danger

  

  12 The Trendsetter  

  F: 72713   B(10)  W(54.5)

   ( J- Samantha Collett )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Stephen Marsh might well quinella the race as this one simply hasn't run a bad race to date. On the quick back up after running well last week and Sam Collett riding with a lot of confidence

  Next Best

  

  4 Crackercol  

  F: 51570   B(9)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Joe Doyle )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  We have always iked the look of this one but it has disappointed again recently. On the quick back up and that's a good sign, so goes in again

  Consider

  

  13 Sonoran  

  F: 28036   B(7)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Corentin Berge )

   ( T- Vicki Prendergast )

  F: 11   B(6)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Te Akau runner trained on the track and has been very impressive in winning both its starts by wide margin. Looks another home run here

  Main Danger

  Dividend : $1.40

  Place

  F: 1   B(4)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  Very impressive when winning on debut, with a lovely turn of foot to get it home. More to come from this one but expecting it will find the favourite too good

  Next Best

  Dividend : 

  Place

  F: 64   B(5)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Rory Hutchings )

   ( T- Graham Richardson & Rogan Norvall )

  F: 17113   B(8)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Andrew Forsman )

  Has measured up to 3yo expectations in recent months and will be spot on for this, after finishing close up three weeks ago. Has seen support in the markets since opening

  Main Danger

  

  8 Smart Love  

  F: 11487   B(3)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Joe Doyle )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  F: 332X1   B(7)  W(57.0)

  F: X4188   B(12)  W(56.0)

• Top Pick

  

  1 Navigator  

  F: X0X22   B(5)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Ryan Elliot )

   ( T- Cody Cole )

  Cody Cole has this galloper going well and gets a 2kg pull in the weights, as well as a better draw, after finishing behind Archaic Smile at Trentham two weeks ago. The extra distance shouldn't be an issue

  Main Danger

  

  7 Archaic Smile  

  F: 45541   B(12)  W(53.0)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Hollie Wynyard )

  Have always liked the look of this 4yo and might now be ready to show its full potential. Would have been our Top Pick but for the wide draw

  F: 32911   B(10)  W(53.0)

   ( J- Corentin Berge )

  F: 07221   B(3)  W(54.5)

   ( J- Elen Nicholas )

  6 Gigi  

  F: 21527   B(5)  W(53.5)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Jim Pender )

  Freshened after a tremendous season where it has gone to a new level. The 2000m ideal fresh up and with scratchings having decimated the field, it does look to have the best credentials

  F: 15200   B(1)  W(56.5)

  F: X3731   B(2)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Trained on the track and comes into this on the back of an impressive win 6 weeks ago. Has won fresh up before and the more rain, the better it will be

  1 Savoir Faire  

  F: 009X5   B(3)  W(60.0)

   ( J- Hayley Hassman )

  F: 5X722   B(1)  W(59.0)
