Dividend : $2.10
Place
F:B(10)W(55.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Tony Pike )
Tony Pike runner on debut on the back of winning a trial. What is to note is that Sam Collett rides, when you'd normally expect her to be on Cody Cole's first starter
Next Best
2 Miss Perna
F: 32X5B(6)W(55.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Went OK in a maiden when resuming and will be winning. Note this is a step uo though
Consider

Less than 2 lengths behind Miss Perna last time, when on debut, and will have come on for that experience
Longer Odds

F:B(1)W(55.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
On debut and this good stable will have it ready. Rails draw to advantage

Won
F:B(4)W(58.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Kelly Van Dyk )
This 3yo is on debut and could be a bit special. Has won all four trials and today's jockey has ridden in the last two. Scratched mid-week due to track conditions
Main Danger
7 Deprive
Dividend : $1.20
Place
F: 2232XB(3)W(58.0)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Bruce Wallace & Grant Cooksley )
Within 1 1/2 lengths of the winner in everyone of its 4 races in its first campaign and might well have won two or more. That won't be long in coming, especially now it will have matured from its spell
Next Best
12 Presence Of Mind
F: X08X3B(10)W(56.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
One of two Te Akau runners in this and they ran against each other last start, with this one coming out better by two lengths. Don't see that changing
Consider

F: 23XB(8)W(58.5)
( J-Lynsey Satherley )
( T-Carl Henderson )
Promising in two runs last campaign and now resumes
Longer Odds

Top Pick
The 'Day's Best'
8 High Country
F: 34011B(8)W(54.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Tony Pike )
Tony Pike has always had a high reputation of this one and now, as a 5yo, its proving that he is probably right. On a hattrick after winning by 9 lengths last time and can complete it
Main Danger
6 Maldini
F: 32126B(7)W(54.0)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Tony Pike )
Tony Pike holds a strong hand in the race with this one a 'live' contender. Was over 2 lengths behind Levakia last time but probably did enjoy the Good track condition. This apprentice is riding wit a lot of confidence too
Next Best
9 Just Call Me Jonny
F: 85014B(3)W(54.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Peter & Shaun McKay )
Well behind our Top Pick last time but was undone by the Heavy track. Good trainers will have it ready to run well
Consider

Dividend : $4.00, $1.60
Won
F: 21642B(9)W(54.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Ken & Bev Kelso )
Close up in all its runs and chances can't be discounted, especially with Michael McNab in the saddle today
Longer Odds
3 Giacomo
F: 26618B(1)W(54.0)
( J-Elen Nicholas )
( T-Peter & Shaun McKay )
Trainers 'second' runner in the race and could be a chance if running up to its winning run two back

Top Pick
5 Burnerphone
F: 32122B(6)W(55.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Benjamin King )
It caught our eye in the way it won three back and has run respectably in both runs since stepped up to Stakes level. This young trainer is a breath of fresh air and his winning formula might take centre stage here again
Main Danger
3 Trafalgar
F: 1B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Cody Cole )
Troy Harris gave this one out as the stable's best chance two weeks ago but it was scratched due to the track conditions. However, it duly won two days later ... and is worth sticking with
Next Best
7 Glance
F: 1B(7)W(55.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Incredible odds for this Stephen Marsh runner when it won on debut, as it had showcased its potential with a winning trial prior. Will be improved
Consider
2 Navy Ensign
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 25351B(1)W(57.0)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Murray Thompson )
Ran second four times before breaking through for a much deserved win two weeks ago. Hard to think it won't be in the mix again today
Longer Odds
6 Autumn Queen
F: 3X16B(4)W(55.0)
( J-Elen Nicholas )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
Only just over 2 lengths behind Navy Ensign last time, having won its maiden prior. Represents some Ew value at these odds

Dividend : $2.70, $1.50
Won
F: 43X43B(10)W(56.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Roger James & Robert Wellwood )
Third up this campaign and George Rooke is back in the saddle. Its run behind Navy Ensign is superior form in this and just needs to overcome the draw
Main Danger
15 Comaneci Gold
F: 55B(6)W(56.0)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Just its third race day run and showing good ability. Just 1 1/2 lengths behind Solid Gold two weeks ago and that's a good formline
Next Best
12 Zambrosia
F: 6533B(2)W(56.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Te Akau runner that is progressing nicely and won't be long in winning one. Maybe today with a good draw
Consider
6 The Spaniard
F: 2B(11)W(58.0)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Roger James & Robert Wellwood )
Won a trial prior to its debut 4 weeks ago, when it attracted good support in the markets and was only a neck off the winner. This tougher but will be improved for the run
Longer Odds
13 Scaredoheights
F: 50X53B(9)W(56.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Peter & Shaun McKay )
Third up today and is progressing nicely

Top Pick
9 Shoebill
F: 07412B(6)W(57.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
While always looking to have potential, it's really got into its stride in the last couple of races. Just the 5 races to date so looks to have plenty of upside. The step up to middle distance just perfect
Main Danger
1 Gippsy God
Dividend : $2.90, $1.60
Won
F: 42533B(2)W(60.0)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Connections have turned to a senior rider to get the job done today, and in this case its Opie Bosson. They don't get any better
Next Best
10 Andorra
F: 83248B(1)W(57.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Moira & Kieran Murdoch )
Nearly 2 lengths behind Gyppsy God at Pukekohe but can make that up with a good journey in running
Consider
3 Cosmic Pursuit
Dividend : $2.60
Place
F: 36212B(3)W(59.5)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Tony Pike )
Tony Pike runner that has been much improved since running over more ground and can't be discounted

11 Emmy Award
F: 6081B(9)W(57.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Shaune Ritchie & Colm Murray )
Just the 4 runs and comes into this off a last start win. Stable has been taking its runners to the CD for these confidence boosters and getting results

Top Pick
15 Our Solana
F: 8X414B(10)W(56.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Despite the Heavy ground, it showed its fighting ability to be just 4 lengths away at Tauranga three weeks ago. This ground will suit much better
Main Danger
11 What Next
F: 51B(9)W(56.5)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Benjamin King )
Young trainer that is really making his mark on the racing scene and he got this one home at only the second time of asking. This tougher but win wouldn't surprise
Next Best
4 Hakushu
Dividend : $2.20
Place
F: 03643B(6)W(59.5)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Another one that will be better for the better track conditions today, and Opie sticks

5 Sweet Smile
Dividend : $5.00, $2.20
Won
F: 64X12B(3)W(59.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Jenna Mahoney )
Import from Hong Kong that won on its NZ debut, when there was good money for it. Couldn't hold off Vieni Su in its subsequent race but that's actually a decent galloper
Longer Odds
7 Rocky Marciano
F: 08615B(2)W(58.5)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Peter & Shaun McKay )
Finally got that elusive maiden win at Matamata last month, in its 19th race! OK run at Trentham last time and the drop back to 1500m should be better today

1 Master Fay
Dividend : $2.50
Place
F: 00541B(4)W(61.5)
( J-Hyeontaek Oh )
( T-Chad Ormsby )
What a good trainer this former Rodeo rider is. And what we like is that he only races them when he thinks they're a winning chance. Interested to see he introduces the 4kg claimer today
Main Danger
13 Yaldi
Dividend : $1.40
Place
F: 64936B(6)W(54.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
A good run considering the strength of the field in an open last time and has seen early support in this
Next Best
2 Cannon Hill
Dividend : $7.00, $2.30
Won
F: 88535B(11)W(57.5)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Tony Pike )
Has the ability to win this, dropping back from G2. But has the task against it given that it's dropping back 300m and it has drawn gate 13
Consider
4 I'm All In
F: 2X315B(7)W(56.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Has to go in on the back of a good win here two back. Can be excused missing the placings last time when you consider the class gallopers in that race
Longer Odds
7 Moschino
F: 91102B(8)W(54.0)
( J-Corentin Berge )
( T-Margaret Falconer )

Top Pick
11 Have A Crack
F: 32852B(2)W(58.0)
( J-Tayla Mitchell )
( T-Chad Ormsby )
This good trainer has a strong chance of winner this, after it was beaten just a whisker in a tight photo finish two weeks ago. Third up today and fitter so the step up to 1500m is ideal
Main Danger
8 Top Shelf
Dividend : $2.30
Place
F: 32361B(14)W(58.5)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Had been close to winning previously but Mick Dee came back from Australia to add the winning touch last time. Opie now takes the reins and will give it every chance
Next Best
16 The Nomad
F: 27051B(1)W(56.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Cody Cole )
This lightly raced 5yo got home last start and rates a good chance again. Sam Collett rides for this trainer, who has two in the race, and has been handed the reins on this one. Rails draw
Consider
9 Flanagan
F: 64142B(11)W(58.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Samantha Logan )
Sam Logan has this 5yo mare going well and it is capable f beating these. But the wide draw is our concern
Longer Odds
4 Big Wave
F: 35024B(13)W(59.5)
( J-Chris Dell )
( T-Caitlin McKee )
CD jockey Chris Dell has picked up a nice ride here, and he rides the course well. This 5yo showed up a few times in good company last time, and now resumes after a break
