Place
F: 61756B(5)W(57.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Graham Richardson & Rogan Norvall )
Dropped back from Stakes races to a R75 last time and although starting favourite for that, proved disappointing. We should see a better run on these firmer conditions today
Next Best
10 War Queen
F: 1451XB(2)W(54.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Kurtis Pertab )
Just the 4 races in its first campaign, winning on debut and again before being sent to the spelling paddock in September. Sure to have matured and has won a trial to prepare
Consider

Dividend : $2.40
Place
F: 68179B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Cody Cole )
Has a bit of a reputation in the stable but not living up to that just yet. However, resumes from a 3 month break and could well go fresh up

F: 04240B(1)W(58.0)
( J-Mereana Hudson )
( T-Ilone Kelly )
Has been in the first two in 6 of its 12 starts on this track and is our 'roughie' for this race

7 Leica Ripa
F: 52114B(3)W(58.0)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Fraser Auret )
Just the 5 races under its belt for this 4yo, and having already won two of them, there is clearly more upside there. was on a hattrick here last time but came up against a pretty competitive field
Main Danger
3 Young Jackson
F: 8135B(8)W(58.5)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Roger James & Robert Wellwood )
Northern trained 4yo that is showing good potential, including finishing within a length of That's gold two back. expect it to be in for the fight down this big home straight
Next Best
8 The Ocean Heart
F: 0X711B(10)W(58.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Robert Dennis )
South Island galloper that has really come of age this campaign and has won its last two, albeit at long odds. Gets its chance at Trentham and Craig Grylls will clearly give it every chance
Consider
1 Plain Sailing
F: X3511B(2)W(60.0)
( J-Kate Hercock )
( T-Simon Wilson )
Has improved from its spell to win both its starts this time up. Kate Hercock has contributed to that and sticks
Longer Odds
5 Carter John
F: 27521B(9)W(58.5)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-David Haworth )
One you can count of to always give its best and comes into this off a maiden win. This tougher but does look capable

Dividend : $2.40
Place
F: X2423B(12)W(58.0)
( J-Kavish Chowdhoory )
( T-Bryce Newman )
While the wide draw is obviously a concern, this 4yo mare is in good heart after a trial win and a good run when resuming. It should have won more races last campaign
Main Danger
11 Carajillo
F: 4930XB(7)W(56.5)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Cody Cole )
Strong trainer/jockey partnership that has a good strike rate. Trainer always has them 'ready to go' when fresh up too
Next Best
7 Capaci
F: 13XB(9)W(57.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Robbie Patterson )
Showcased its potential when winning easily on debut which led the connections to test it in Stakes company in its subsequent race. Not far away and could be smart. Resumes today
Consider
2 Classy Brahma
Dividend : $1.60
Place
F: 22322B(1)W(58.0)
( J-Bruno Queiroz )
( T-Trudy & Vaughan Keegan )
Very capable but always seems to find one to beat it, but clearly needs to be in your reckoning

F: 08306B(8)W(57.5)
( J-Matthew Cameron )

We're interested to see Cody Cole also runs this one here. Looked smart when winning on debut last October but didn't then go on with it

The 'Day's Best'
1 Geneva
Dividend : $2.70, $1.40
Won
F: 57163B(1)W(57.0)
( J-Rory Hutchings )
( T-Kylie Hoskin )
Terrific run in the NZ Derby and that run puts it streets ahead of anything here. Although dropping back to 2100m, if running up to that then it simply wins
Main Danger
11 Iffigive
F: 34675B(11)W(55.0)
( J-Kate Hercock )
( T-Stephen Nickalls )
Trainer has had a standout season and this 3yo filly ran superbly to finish just 6 lengths away as a maiden in the Oaks. Found the 1600m too short last weekend but this now ideal
Next Best
2 Alottago
F: 7X553B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Jonathan Riddell )
( T-Lance Robinson )
A South Island galloper with ability and ran a very commendable third in the Wellington Guineas last week. Up to 2100m for the first time today
Consider
9 Circus Trix
Dividend : $1.90
Place
F: 40581B(7)W(55.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
In a line through Ohope Wins, there's not much between it and Iffigive. Stephen Marsh steps it back up to 2100m today
Longer Odds
6 Loose Jewels
F: 21677B(10)W(57.0)
( J-Bruno Queiroz )
( T-Kevin & Stephen Gray )
This stable has improved its performances significantly since Stephen returned to NZ and with Bruno riding superbly, not without a chance

Top Pick
2 Omega Boy
F: 15611B(4)W(57.0)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Peter and Trent Didham )
Comes into this on the back of a strong win in the Japan Trophy, finishing over them at the end of the 1600m. First run at 2100m but trainers have a great record on the track and will go there with confidence. Opie takes over
Main Danger
13 Anderson Bridge
F: X1511B(8)W(55.0)
( J-Bruno Queiroz )
( T-Kevin & Stephen Gray )
Has been a revelation since coming over from Australia, winning 4 of 5 starts. This its biggest test but might well be up to it
Next Best
1 Final Return
F: 18414B(11)W(57.0)
( J-Chris Dell )
( T-Janelle Millar )
Both trainer and jockey have had their best seasons over the last two and their record when combining has been incredible. This much improved 7yo won't lack for stamina after a good run in the Auckland Cup last time
Consider
4 What You Wish For
F: 68122B(7)W(55.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
It would be folly to leave a Te Akau runner out in a race like this. Its run over 1600m last time will have it spot on
Longer Odds
3 Knights Realm
F: 22102B(3)W(56.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Clinton Isdale )
Could be the best of the 'roughies', especially if it is allowed to get a break on them early in the straight

Top Pick
Best "Each Way"
3 State Of Valour
F: 5X223B(3)W(57.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Chad Ormsby )
This astute trainer has given this gelding time to develop and it has matured into an exciting prospect. Just missed at Ellerslie 5 weeks ago, with Seize The Day 1/2 length behind. Favoured by the draw
Main Danger
6 Excite
F: 22B(2)W(57.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Roger James & Robert Wellwood )
Although still a maiden, that's only because its two runs to date have been behind Ronaldo and Seize The Day. Progressive and right in this
Next Best
2 Ronaldo
F: 11B(12)W(57.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Robbie Patterson )
Looks the real deal, having won all its trials and both its race day starts in style. Trainer/jockey have an incredible strike rate and will have this one prepared to the minute. Wide draw the concern
Consider
4 Seize The Day
Dividend : $2.80, $1.60
Won
F: 31B(11)W(57.0)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Like Ronaldo, looks to have the ability to be winning but has also drawn wide, in a very competitive field. Will come down to which one gets the best run
Longer Odds
9 Sweetest Thing
Dividend : $2.70
Place
F: 225B(6)W(55.0)
( J-Wiremu Pinn )
( T-Roydon Bergerson )
A filly up against the colts but has run really well in all starts and could run a place
Not a strong field for what is a listed race and, with Lisa Latta scratching Platinum Attack, the way is clear for this 5yo to get back in the winning enclosure. Yes it has a wide draw but has the ability to overcome that
Main Danger
5 Churchillian
Dividend : $2.80
Place
F: 10941B(7)W(54.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Tony Pike )
Resumed from a 3 month spell to put them away at Tauranga, winning in good style by an easy 6 lengths! Wet ground is just perfect for it here
Next Best
10 Basel Warrior
F: 91171B(11)W(53.0)
( J-Leah Hemi )
( T-Jim Collett )
Has improved significantly this campaign, winning three of its last four starts, and had When Stars Align behind it last start
Consider
14 Ma Te Wa
F: 12715B(5)W(53.0)
( J-Craig Grylls (+1kg) )
( T-Robbie Patterson )
Maybe it was the Heavy track that found it out at Whanganui but it had every chance and didn't really respond to to the task in hand there two weeks ago. Has won here before and might bounce back
Longer Odds
Best "Roughie"
7 Archaic Smile
Dividend : $7.10, $2.40
Won
F: 54144B(8)W(53.0)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Hollie Wynyard )
Terrific run in the Cuddle Stakes here last time and being out of a good northern stable, comes into this with a real chance
Lightly raced 5yo , but having won four of its 6 starts, and two of them on this track is testimony to its chances here. It took a good one to beat it two back but recalling its performance in the race prior, we think it has the ability to be winning today
Main Danger
3 Quintessa
F: X17X3B(4)W(57.0)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Not the only chance for the Te Akau stable in this but we think their best. Good run when resuming and will have taken good improvement. Opie sticks
Next Best
1 Provence
F: 18937B(8)W(57.0)
( J-Wiremu Pinn )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Stephen marsh knows how to win these big races and this is the galloper he's put forward for this today. That has to be respected
Consider
10 Mare Of Mt Buller
F: 80125B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Rory Hutchings )
( T-Chris Waller )
One of two that Chris Waller has brought over to Australia and will be totally acclimatised now, having finished close up in its first run 3 weeks ago
Longer Odds
2 Qali Al Farrasha
F: 14564B(9)W(57.0)
( J-Bruno Queiroz )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
This Te Akau runner will be trained to the minute and with Bruno riding a wave right now, will get every chance

F: 1B(1)W(57.0)

More winners this week for this young trainer. This one was very green when winning on debut and can only be improved for today. Opie sticks
Main Danger
8 Cheerio
Dividend : $2.00
Place
F: 3181B(3)W(56.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Cody Cole )
This 3yo is not far off the best of its age group going around and should get the better of most of these today
Next Best
13 Party Time
F: 8X1B(6)W(55.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Cody Cole )
Cody Cole also runs this filly and it won well when resuming at Taupo last month, only its second start after its debut last November. Interesting to note that stable rider Sam Collett is on the reins of this one
Consider
7 Bona Sforza
F: X264XB(13)W(56.0)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Samantha Finnegan )
Owns a bit of ability and finished less than 5 lengths behind a certain Well Written in the 1000 Guineas at Riccarton at its last start in November. That's looking like a pretty good effort now
Longer Odds
2 Landlock
F: 48760B(9)W(57.0)
( J-Rory Hutchings )
( T-Cody Cole )
Putting this Cody Cole trained runner in too as this is a bit easier than the fields its been up against recently. Ran some good races as a 2yo
