Main Danger
3 Armagh
F: 42XB(6)W(58.0)
( J-Elen Nicholas )

( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Bruce Wallace & Grant Cooksley )
Three seconds and a third from its 4 starts in its first campaign and will be stronger after its spell
Consider
8 Geneva Queen
F: 2B(8)W(56.0)
( J-Courtney Barnes )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Very promising first up effort by this Te Akau runner and sure to be improved. Drawn wide but that mightn't be a bad thing in these conditions

2 Altari
F: X1043B(7)W(58.0)
( J-Courtney Barnes )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
First run over middle distance last start and made a good job of it, finishing alongside Crown Princess. First run on the Heavy but Soft track form suggests it will handle the wetter ground
Main Danger
5 Crown Princess
Dividend :
Place
F: 94212B(2)W(56.0)
( J-Hayley Hassman )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Deserved favourite on current form and the one to beat if handling the track conditions. But this is its first run in the Heavy and in that respect, the odds are a bit short for us
Next Best
4 Charlbury
F: 0049XB(4)W(56.0)
( J-Corentin Berge )
( T-Catherine Cameron )
Resumes after a 2 month spell and straight over the 2200m. Has won a trial to prepare, and won in the Heavy
Consider
1 Just Call Me Jonny
F: 85014B(8)W(59.0)
( J-Amber Riddell )
( T-Peter & Shaun McKay )
We like this stable and it was a winner two back, so has to go in. But note it's yet to show anything in two runs on the Heavy
Longer Odds
6 Tide And Time
F: 00309B(5)W(55.5)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Kenny Rae )
On the quick back up from last week. Shows its best on the Heavy tracks

F: 1B(6)W(55.0)
( J-Hayley Hassman )

Dividend :
Place
F: 1B(2)W(55.0)
( J-Corentin Berge )
( T-Roger James & Robert Wellwood )

Dividend : $2.60
Place
F: 4637XB(3)W(57.0)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Tony Pike )

Won
F: 77312B(1)W(55.0)
( J-Jack Taplin )

Longer Odds

F: 74120B(7)W(57.0)
( J-Elen Nicholas )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
With scratchings it comes in as a place chance

Place
F: 0X326B(5)W(54.0)
( J-Amber Riddell )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Amber Riddell has picked up a lovely ride on this well thought of 4yo. Resumes after a break but the early money suggests it will do itself merit. Both its wins have been on the track, including one in the Heavy

Dividend : $5.40, $1.70
Won
F: 2550XB(2)W(59.5)
( J-Corentin Berge )
( T-Chris Wood )
No depth in this field so has to be rated a chance fresh up, particularly as it has won in that state before

Dividend : $1.80
Place
F: 65514B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Jack Taplin )

Top Pick
14 Unwritten
F: 34571B(5)W(54.0)
( J-Corentin Berge )
( T-Donna Logan )
The Heavy track gives this 4yo mare a chance to go back to back, after handling the track conditions well two weeks ago. Trainer's runners tend to hold their form well
Main Danger
3 Lachie
Dividend : $4.30, $1.80
Won
F: 76036B(10)W(57.5)
( J-Elen Nicholas )
( T-Barbara Kennedy )
Running well enough to rate a good chance in this, if overcoming the wide draw. Has been running in stronger fields than this
Next Best
1 Privy Garden
F: 8401XB(2)W(60.0)
( J-Rihaan Goyaram )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
A winner of 5 from just 21 starts, this honest mare resumes on the back of a winning trial. Has a good record in the Heavy, including winning one

F: 84146B(7)W(58.0)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Ben & Ryan Foote )
A past winner in the Heavy and that's an advantage today
What's not to like about this exciting mare's chances today. Lightly raced 4yo, it has won all 4 starts and resuming in impressive fashion when finishing over them to win at Ellerslie 3 weeks ago. Has won 2 in the Heavy
Main Danger
4 Chattahoochee
F: 70X56B(7)W(58.0)
( J-Amber Riddell )
( T-Lisa Anderson )
Third up today and finished well to be just 3 1/4 lengths away in the Japan Trophy two weeks ago
Next Best
1 Khafre
F: 70023B(4)W(61.0)
( J-Hayley Hassman )

( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Sophia Nolan and Hanna Orting )
Broke through for a deserved maiden win at Te Aroha in February and then just missed when in a R65 last start. Good 3kg claimer takes over today
