  3 Victor Tango  

  F: 21   B(1)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- David Greene )

  Just beaten by the subsequent Waikato Guineas winner, it did it nicely when winning its last start to break maidens. Rails draw and could be quite smart

  Main Danger

  

  8 Solid Gold  

  Dividend : $1.60

  Place

  F: 43X4   B(3)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Matthew Cameron )

   ( T- Roger James & Robert Wellwood )

  Ran the talented Swiss Prince to just over 1/2 length last October and then spelled. Showed it had trained on when resuming and won't be far away today

  Next Best

  

  5 La Diem  

  F: 444X1   B(7)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Terrific run when resuming to win well and the step up to 1600m should suit even better

  Consider

  

  6 Shoebill  

  Dividend : $3.90

  Place

  F: 0741   B(9)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Andrew Forsman )

  Its maiden win in the Cd two weeks ago will have been a confidence booster and improves

  2 Rock Ice  

  F: 17   B(6)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Masa Hashizume )

   ( T- Shaun & Emma Clotworthy )

  5 Mustang Morgan  

  Dividend : $2.40

  Place

  F: 63202   B(6)  W(59.5)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Andrew Forsman )

  We continue to give this 4yo 'another chance' but it does deserve it after being unlucky not to win last time, caught right on the line by a very small margin. Craig Grylls takes over today

  Main Danger

  

  6 Castle Rock  

  Dividend : $4.70, $2.30

  Won

  F: X9X21   B(12)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Tayla Mitchell )

   ( T- Chad Ormsby )

  Looks to have a lot of upside. A winner over 1600m last time, it gave the impression it would be even better over ground, and gets that today

  Next Best

  

  12 Mulan Ardeche  

  F: X8452   B(8)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Good run to get within 1/2 length when up to 2000m for the first time and likely to be in the mix

  Consider

  

  4 Hephaestus  

  F: X0312   B(3)  W(59.5)

   ( J- Masa Hashizume )

   ( T- Roger James & Robert Wellwood )

  A winner two back at Otaki, it's last start was in the CD as well. May find this a bit more testing so a place candidate for us

  Longer Odds

  

  10 Barcelona  

  F: 09331   B(14)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

   ( T- Margaret Falconer )

  Drawn wide and that will test it but it was the one to beat our Top Pick last start so goes in

  Won

  F: 20054   B(3)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Tayla Mitchell )

   ( T- Chad Ormsby )

  Only 3 1/2 lengths away in a G3 two weeks ago and any of those in front of it that day, would be at short order in this. Astute trainer

  Main Danger

  

  9 Mollify  

  Dividend : $2.50

  Place

  F: 13110   B(6)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- Lance Noble )

  Finished off last year with a bit of a disappointing run, and subsequently spelled. Looked like a mare going places prior and one to follow this campaign

  Next Best

  

  5 Financier  

  F: 133X2   B(1)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Terrific performance in its first run for over 18 months when resuming at Taupo four weeks ago and will have come on considerably for that. Showed good ability to win 4 from just 12 starts prior

  Consider

  

  8 Dream Of The Moon  

  F: 8X422   B(4)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Hayley Hassman )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Te akau runner that looks a bit short in the odds for us, but that doesn't stop it winning. Recent races have been in R75's

  Longer Odds

  

  7 Takeshi  

  F: 5X109   B(7)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  A winner of a R75 three back, it has been well beaten in two runs in Open class since. So we're surprised to see the early support, having opened at $13, so has to go in on the basis of that

  Dividend : $2.10

  Place

  F: 31   B(9)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

   ( T- Danny Walker & Arron Tata )

  Won all three trials before coming to race day and duly won its second start, albeit by not much. Third up now, it can only be improved and Opie is on the reins again

  Main Danger

  

  3 Sweet Smile  

  Dividend : $1.60

  Place

  F: 964X1   B(1)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Masa Hashizume )

   ( T- Jenna Mahoney )

  An import from Hong Kong, it trialled up well before making a winning debut in New Zealand on this track 3 weeks ago. Rails draw and chance to go back to back

  Next Best

  

  9 High Emotion  

  F: 32734   B(5)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Jack Taplin )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Has been well supported in all its runs this campaign but just can't get job done. Stephen Marsh has turned to this talented apprentice, and the 3kg claim, and that might well do the trick

  Consider

  

  4 Ashoka  

  F: 2321X   B(2)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Tony Pike )

  Showed plenty of potential last campaign, winning its last start in November, before being spelled. We'll see a more mature galloper today and drawn to get every chance

  2 Kiwi Skyhawk  

  F: 44124   B(5)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  4yo that has always had good expectations of it and is a genuine Open handicapper now. Just think it might have too much ability for these

  Main Danger

  

  7 Maldini  

  F: 43212   B(1)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Sam McNab )

   ( T- Tony Pike )

  Te Akau runner Savoir Faire beat it last time and they meet on the same terms today. Tony Pike stable is flying and that might produce the reversal today. Rails draw to advantage

  F: 9X551   B(2)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Hayley Hassman )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Well performed Te akau runner that got home 3 weeks ago when stepped up to 2000m. Beat a couple of these on that occasion and has to be in the mix

  Consider

  

  9 Roctave  

  F: 05204   B(7)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  This Stephen Marsh runner was finishing to good effect last time, after getting back, and with Craig Grylls knowing the horse well, it might surprise

  5 Giacomo  

  F: 72661   B(9)  W(54.0)

  F: 11524   B(1)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Honest 5yo mare with ability and probably should have won more than its 3 races, as it's been runner up 6 times! Rails draw gives it every chance

  F: 50147   B(8)  W(56.5)

   ( T- Shaun & Emma Clotworthy )

  No doubting that this one has good potential, and drops back from a G3 here. Could well win but we think its odds are a bit on the short side

  Consider

  

  10 Esternay  

  F: 4X00X   B(10)  W(54.5)
