   ( J- Terry Moseley )

   ( T- Nikki & Barrie Blatch )

  Place

  F: 2202   B(6)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Kylie Williams )

   ( T- Brian & Shane Anderton )

  Looks a good thing here. Progressed from two back to run Hello Hayley close in the Dunedin Guineas last start and no other galloper here can match that

  14 Sure  

  F:   B(4)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Akshay Balloo )

   ( T- Joseph Waldron )

  Place

  F: 0X653   B(9)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Donovan Cooper )

  F: 5X5   B(1)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Leah Hemi )

   ( T- Andrew Carston )

  6 Flash Roca  

  F: 32606   B(3)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Leah Hemi )

   ( T- Kelvin Tyler )

  We fancied its chances in a good field last time but it never got into a winning position at anytime. This small field is an ideal opportunity

  Main Danger

  Dividend : 

  Place

  F: 46307   B(2)  W(59.5)

   ( J- Kendra Bakker )

   ( T- Kelvin Tyler )

  Kevin Tyler also runs this terrific galloper, a winner of over $375k. This is easier than recent races and a win wouldn't surprise

  Place

  F: 49117   B(6)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Akshay Balloo )

   ( T- Lee Callaway )

  In good form right now and missed the hattrick last weekend at Riccarton, the wide draw being against it. Chance to bounce back

  Consider

  

  3 The Hangover  

  F: 39792   B(5)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Donovan Cooper )

   ( T- Robert Dennis )

  was finishing fast last time over 1500m and might just find the 1400m too short today

  F: 96708   B(7)  W(60.0)

   ( J- Daniel Bothamley )

  13 Scamper  

  F:   B(8)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Akshay Balloo )

   ( T- Joseph Waldron )

  On debut for this former Australian trainer. Drawn OK and tight in the market, and that could well mean its been showing up at home

  Main Danger

  

  14 Taimate Warrior  

  F: 03660   B(6)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Kylie Williams )

   ( T- Andrew Carston )

  Of the runners that have had race day experience, this one offers itself up as a good chance. We like the booking of Kylie Williams

  10 Lindy May  

  Dividend : $2.10

  Place

  F: 40X22   B(10)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Yogesh Atchamah )

   ( T- Nayton Mitchell )

  The form runner in the field and that means it will probably go off as favourite. Won't mind the wet track but needs to overcome the wide draw

  Consider

  

  6 Lethal Roc  

  F:   B(12)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Triston Moodley )

   ( T- Robert Dennis )

  On debut and a strong trainer/jockey combination. Wide debut to contend with but you can be sure it will be well prepared

  Longer Odds

  

  3 Manfred  

  F: 7760   B(3)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Daniel Bothamley )

   ( T- Terry Kennedy )

  5 Awesome Lineup  

  F: 7124X   B(4)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Akshay Balloo )

   ( T- Joseph Waldron )

  Australian trainer brought this runner over with him and it's now on its NZ debut. Looks to have been quite capable over there and should measure up to these. Early support a good sign

  Main Danger

  Dividend : 

  Place

  F: X2317   B(5)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Leah Hemi )

  4 Hooray For Harry  

  F: 872X5   B(6)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Amber Riddell )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Not far away when resuming and will have come on a lot for that run. The second that day was an impressive winner last week

  Consider

  

  2 Sako  

  F: 65275   B(7)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Tina Comignaghi )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Surprised to see this stephen Marsh runner backed into favourite. Has to be considered on the back of that

  1 Sir Sterling  

  F: 3367X   B(1)  W(62.0)

   ( J- Mereana Hudson )

   ( T- Maurice Forde )

  Showed its prior run to be all wrong when going to the line well here two weeks ago. That was in a R75 and drops back a grade here

  Main Danger

  

  6 Lippy  

  F: 86637   B(1)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Triston Moodley )

   ( T- Nayton Mitchell )

  Defied the odds last weekend to run well and be less than 5 lengths away. Good young trainer has turned to this talented apprentice to continue the momentum. Rails draw

  F: 70814   B(4)  W(58.5)

  3 Assemble  

  F: 3108   B(3)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Corey Campbell )

  Hard to think this 3yo filly won't be there at the business end today. One win from 4 starts and not too far away in the Dunedin Guineas last time

  Ex northerner that had Opie in the saddle when making southern debut here 4 weeks ago. Was only 2 1/2 lengths away and will be improved. Rails draw

  4 Moor  

  F: 7X441   B(5)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Yogesh Atchamah )

   ( T- Brian & Shane Anderton )

  1 Yoo Hoo Joy  

  F: 31052   B(11)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Leah Hemi )

   ( T- Terry Kennedy )

  Has to be a chance if reproducing its last run, when just beaten in a tight finish. Leah sticks and she has a great strike rate in the south

  8 Kingfisher  

  F: 68096   B(8)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Triston Moodley )

  Place

  F: 94342   B(9)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Corey Campbell )

  Place

  F: 41115   B(8)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Daniel Bothamley )

   ( T- Shankar Muniandy )

  A very promising 4yo, it stepped up to R82 last start and finished over them down the straight to be just over 2 lengths away. Back to R75 and a big chance here

  9 The Arctic Monkey  

  F: 1   B(10)  W(54.0)

  F: 98815   B(7)  W(54.0)
