   ( 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

   ( 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: 8135   B(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

   ( 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

  F: X3511   B(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

  5 Carter John  

  F: 27521   B(9)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Kelly Myers )

   ( T- David Haworth )

  Place

  F: X2423   B(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: 4930X   B(7)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Samantha Collett )

   ( T- Cody Cole )

  F: 13X   B(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

  Place

  F: 22322   B(1)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Bruno Queiroz )

  Won

  F: 57163   B(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: 34675   B(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: 7X553   B(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

  Place

  F: 40581   B(7)  W(55.0)

  6 Loose Jewels  

  F: 21677   B(10)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Bruno Queiroz )

  2 Omega Boy  

  F: 15611   B(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: X1511   B(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: 18414   B(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: 68122   B(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

  3 Knights Realm  

  F: 22102   B(3)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Joe Doyle )

  3 State Of Valour  

  F: 5X223   B(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: 22   B(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: 11   B(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: 31   B(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

  Dividend : $2.70

  Place

  F: 225   B(6)  W(55.0)

  Place

  F: 2X022   B(15)  W(53.0)

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( T- Roger James & Robert Wellwood )

  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

  Dividend : $2.80

  10 Basel Warrior  

  F: 91171   B(11)  W(53.0)

  14 Ma Te Wa  

  F: 12715   B(5)  W(53.0)

   ( J- Craig Grylls (+1kg) )

  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

  Dividend : $2.60

  Place

  F: X1121   B(6)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Kelly Myers )

   ( T- John Bary )

  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

  3 Quintessa  

  F: X17X3   B(4)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

  Consider

  

  7 Bona Sforza  

  F: X264X   B(13)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Kelly Myers )
