F: X0433B(6)W(58.5)
( J-Bruno Queiroz )

Main Danger
8 Ever Charm
F: X3536B(3)W(58.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Has been expected to win for a while now but continues to finish in behind. However, up to middle distance brought a better run last time and could go on with it

Dividend : $3.00
Place
F: 96585B(2)W(57.5)
( J-Jim Chung )
( T-Matthew Eales )
A much improved trainer and after three runs this campaign, he has this 6yo at its peak for today
Consider
1 Sir Bruce
F: 22425B(9)W(60.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Robbie Patterson )
Just the one win to date but with 5 seconds, it could well have won more. With Craig Grylls up, has to go in but has drawn wide

F: 19765B(6)W(57.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Stephen Nickalls )

Place
F: 66812B(6)W(60.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
On a line through Knights Realm, this Te Akau runner should have the legs on Bridal Train and that looks its biggest danger. Resumes but has won fresh up before
Main Danger
5 Bridal Train
Dividend :
Place
F: 14132B(3)W(56.5)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Allan Sharrock )

Won
F: 4149XB(7)W(58.5)
( J-Jonathan Riddell )
( T-Niall Quinn )

Consider

F: 5X360B(4)W(55.0)
( J-Kavish Chowdhoory )
( T-Allan Sharrock )
Showed a lot of ability earlier in its campaign and has been in competitive fields this campaign

Top Pick
1 Roaring Bebe
Dividend : $1.60
Place
F: 9X211B(5)W(60.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Ben & Ryan Foote )
Import from Hong Kong that has progressed in every race since its second on NZ debut. Up to R75 today but Craig Grylls takes over and adds the value
Main Danger
2 Super Legocy
F: 33142B(10)W(58.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Absolutely bolted in at Te Rapa three back and we expected it to go on from there. Big chance to bounce back if overcoming the wide draw
Next Best
4 Katamuku
Dividend : $5.20, $2.10
Won
F: 7X411B(7)W(58.0)
( J-Ryan Elliot )
( T-Samantha Logan )
Lightly raced and has been a much improved galloper as a 5yo, winning its last two from only 4 starts to date. First run at 1400m
Consider
6 Sir You Can Dance
F: 322B(3)W(57.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Cody Cole )
Cody Cole trains and has a good strike rate on the track. Beaten into second here last time, by Furiosa
Longer Odds
8 Furiosa
F: 44641B(6)W(56.5)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Matthew Eales )
After meeting stronger fields in conditions races, it dropped back to maidens here last time and won well. Interested to note Sam Collett sticks, given she normally rides Cody Cole's runners

Top Pick
2 New Castle
F: X4414B(3)W(59.0)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Michelle Bradley )
This Whangarei trainer doesn't often have a runner at Trentham and comes south with a promising type. Won on its home track two back and has been given a chance to freshen since its last run
Main Danger
7 Flamenco
Dividend : $3.30
Place
F: 82392B(6)W(57.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Mark Brooks )
Down from the north after running much improved galloper to 1/2 length last time. Will appreciate the extra 100m today
Next Best
3 Summit Up
Dividend : $4.80, $1.80
Won
F: 341B(4)W(59.0)
( J-Ryan Elliot )
( T-Leanne Elliot )
Stepped up to today's distance here three weeks ago and finished the race off well to take the win. That was only its third race so expect further upside
Consider
10 Vesphire
F: 72443B(1)W(56.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Ralph Manning )
Having finished within two lengths of the winner in all of its last 4 starts, a win would be deserved and has to be considered for the placings at least
Longer Odds
6 Rocky Marciano
F: 80861B(10)W(58.5)
( J-Elen Nicholas )
( T-Peter & Shaun McKay )
Trainers with a terrific strike rate when travelling south, especially to Trentham, and with this one finally breaking its duck at its 19th start, could go on with it

Top Pick
Best "Each Way"
3 Flashback
F: 23514B(8)W(57.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Within a length of Origin Of Love last time, having won its maiden prior, and represents relative EW value in the race. Stephen Marsh has been winning everything and will have this spot on
Main Danger
6 Origin Of Love
Dividend : $2.30, $1.50
Won
F: 52243B(9)W(55.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Clearly this Te Akau runner will be hard to beat, having beaten Flashback almost a length last time
Next Best
7 Waimea Bay
F: 3120B(2)W(55.0)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Roger James & Robert Wellwood )
Showed good ability before disappointing in the Waikato Guineas. This is not a strong field so could show up
Consider
8 Clara Bow
F: 34230B(10)W(55.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Still a maiden but that's because it has been highly tried. Drops back from the 2400m of the NZ Oaks last time but top trainers will have dealt with that
Longer Odds
10 Iffigive
F: 23467B(1)W(55.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Stephen Nickalls )
A win here would cap an amazing season for this trainer. Also drops back from the 2400m in the Oaks when it put in a massive run for a maiden. Scratched at Waverley mid-week in preference for this

Top Pick
The 'Day's Best'
1 Trav
F: 00955B(12)W(57.0)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Raymond Connors )
What a terrific run this one put in in the Auckland Cup two weeks ago, coming from last of the 17 runners to finish on for fourth, not far behind the second horse. Astute Whanganui trainer well known for his jumpers success too
Main Danger
10 Not So Unusual
F: 33132B(10)W(53.0)
( J-Madan Singh )
( T-Fraser Auret )
It could be a Whanganui trained quinella with Fraser Auret's team having its best season for a while. This one is very honest and might relish the step up to 2500m
Next Best
2 Wolfgang
F: 010X7B(8)W(56.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Peter & Shaun McKay )
A prolific winner for these trainers and a past winner of the race. Might be hard to pull back if given a soft lead. They also run Santa Catalina
Consider
6 Santa Catalina
F: 51570B(1)W(54.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Peter & Shaun McKay )
Although not running up to expectations last time, these trainers will have it spot on for this. Do note its good run in the Wellington Cup two back
Longer Odds
7 Freebelle
Dividend : $2.20
Place
F: 44431B(2)W(53.0)
( J-Jim Chung )
( T-Robbie Patterson )
We won't be surprised to see this one in the finish. Capable on its day, there was something to like about the way it finished over them on its home track two weeks ago

Race 8 - CAREVETS NZ LIGHTNING OPEN HANDICAP (L)
Time: 4:29 PM | Distance: 1200 m | Prize $ 130000
Top Pick
8 Poetic Champion
F: 4X5X1B(4)W(53.0)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Tony Pike )
Resumed after a 10 month spell three weeks ago and at last we saw the performance that we have been expecting throughout its career. Tony Pike stable is also running well generally and this 4yo can go back to back
Main Danger
11 Miss Jones
F: X1111B(5)W(53.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Cody Cole )
Toughest test yet for this Australian import but it has won all four races since debuting on NZ soil. Smart and will be hard to beat
Next Best
2 Platinum Attack
Dividend : $2.90, $1.30
Won
F: 26563B(6)W(56.5)
( J-Bruno Queiroz )
( T-Lisa Latta )
Only two lengths away in the Kings Plate last time and this easier. Trainers runners are going well and they tend to do well at this track
Consider
13 Hankee Alpha
F: 0X326B(3)W(53.0)
( J-Joe Doyle (+1kg) )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
This 4yo must be providing a lot of frustration for its connections as it has, for a long time, promised so much. Surprised to see it accepted for an Open here but they must think it has the ability to be in the finish
Longer Odds
10 Tristar
F: 4X323B(9)W(53.0)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
This top stable also runs another R75 horse in this 4yo. There's not much depth in this field so could run a place for your multis

Won
F: 94344B(6)W(59.5)
( J-Chris Dell )
( T-Andrew Campbell )
Has been running good races of late and although fourth last time, don't dismiss the fact it was only a head off the winner! On the quick back up, a good sign
Main Danger
3 Hoorah Henry
F: 24115B(8)W(58.5)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Lisa Latta )
Lisa Latta runner that has progressed greatly this campaign and two of its three wins have come here. Behind the talented Andersons Bridge last start
Next Best
10 Jungle Jane
F: X1922B(1)W(55.5)
( J-Bruno Queiroz )
( T-Kevin & Stephen Gray )
Only 1 1/2 lengths behind Omega Boy three weeks ago and that one has since franked the form in winning the G2 Japan Trophy last weekend! Rails draw
Consider
6 Eliud
Dividend : $2.60
Place
F: 1156XB(10)W(56.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Tony Pike )
First run for 20 months so surprised to see it so tight in the market. Must have been showing the right signs at home

Best "Roughie"
11 Charmer
F: 50449B(7)W(54.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Cody Cole )
Cody Cloe runner resuming after a short break. Noted it has been backed down from an opening $18 so goes in as our 'roughie'
