Main Danger
9 Swift Thinker
Dividend : $1.60
Place
F:B(3)W(55.0)
( J-Jack Taplin )
( T-Kelvin Tyler )
Getting down to 52kg should make it tough to beat, and it's another runner coming off some solid trial efforts. Could make a winning start.
Next Best
5 Ace App
Dividend : $9.10, $2.30
Won
F:B(1)W(55.0)
( J-Terry Moseley )
( T-Leda Beck )
Bred to want more time and distance, but as the market suggests, it should be ready to make a positive debut.
Consider
1 Cracker Sans
F:B(7)W(57.0)
( J-Brett Murray )
( T-Meg Cunneen )
Not too far away in a recent trial, and it's another runner that hasn't been let go by bookmakers. Should be right around the mark.
Longer Odds
4 Torchem
Dividend : $4.10
Place
F:B(4)W(57.0)
( J-Rohan Mudhoo )
( T-Ebony Turner )
Bred to be handy enough and it's sneaking under the radar at double-figure odds.

Top Pick
Best "Each Way"
8 Cheekylittlefella
F: 538XB(2)W(58.0)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-Sophie Price )
It ran well to place two back, and having two runs at Riverton should only help its cause. Drawn to figure in the finish, and the odds appeal.
Main Danger
12 Bakers Dozen
Dividend : $3.60, $1.80
Won
F: X4502B(12)W(56.5)
( J-Kendra Bakker )
( T-Kelly Shearing )
Put the writing on the wall when placing last time out, and dropping in weight should only help its cause. Well-backed to win.
Next Best
2 Taihoro
F: X20X2B(6)W(58.5)
( J-Daniel Bothamley )
( T-Robert Dennis )
Two second placings from its last three starts, and it has been rock-solid in betting markets. Big weight, but good enough to carry it.
Consider
11 Neednoman
F: 29223B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Lee Callaway )
( T-Sally McKay )
Looking to cap off three consecutive placings with a win, and it adds more depth to this field. Drawing well helps, so include.
Longer Odds
13 Just Henri
Dividend : $4.80
Place
F: 975X3B(1)W(56.5)
( J-Kin Kwo )
( T-Gay Robinson )
Nothing wrong with its fresh up placing, and it gets all favours off the inside draw. Keep it safe.

Top Pick
8 Mamaea
F: 09539B(1)W(58.0)
( J-Jack Taplin )
( T-Kelvin Tyler )
It has a good record at the track with four placings from six starts. Needs a win for its confidence, but it has a chance to win here.
Main Danger
5 Imperative
Dividend : $4.10, $1.90
Won
F: 08143B(6)W(58.5)
( J-Corey Campbell )
( T-Brian & Shane Anderton )
A recent winner that could get back to that level of form. Not far away in two subsequent runs, and it has been best-backed to score.
Next Best
6 Words Of Mine
F: 01733B(10)W(58.5)
( J-Kendra Bakker )
( T-John & Karen Parsons )
Nothing wrong with back-to-back third placings, and it's another value runner at odds. 2kg comes off its back.
Consider
11 Strong
F: 36364B(13)W(57.5)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-Bruce Tapper )
Loomed to win before settling for fourth last time out. It's never too far away from the prize, and it only needs cover from out wide.
Longer Odds
9 Marella Miss
Dividend : $5.10
Place
F: 88158B(3)W(58.0)
( J-Amber Riddell )
( T-Maurice Forde )
Not the most consistent, but it's a winner this prep, so it can't be overlooked at the odds.

Race 4 - APARIMA RESTAURANT AND BAR HANDICAP
Time: 1:15 PM | Distance: 1600 m | Prize $ 40000
Top Pick
11 Bodleian
F: 6X122B(1)W(55.0)
( J-Billy Jacobson )
( T-Stephanie Faulkner )
A nice winner fresh up before adding back-to-back second placings to its record. Inside draw with a light weight, which adds to its appeal.
Main Danger
12 Blushing
F: 16841B(14)W(54.0)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-Bruce Tapper )
Already a two-time winner this prep, including last time out. Nothing wrong with that form, and punters get better odds than expected.
Next Best
2 Cherryville
Dividend : $2.80
Place
F: 43423B(8)W(58.5)
( J-Corey Campbell )
( T-Brian & Shane Anderton )
Three placings from its last four starts, and although winning form is tough to come by, it has enough upside to a win a race soon.
Consider
4 Monaghan Boy
Dividend : $4.30, $1.70
Won
F: 26134B(3)W(57.5)
( J-Floor Moerman )
( T-Kelvin Tyler )
Won well three back, and it owns a win and a placing at Riverton. Coming back here should do its chances plenty of good.
Longer Odds
5 Vino Valentino
F: 57184B(5)W(57.0)
( J-Amber Riddell )
( T-Robert Dennis )
Only fair after winning earlier this prep, but there were signs of life last start. Chance at its best.

Race 5 - RIVERTON BUTCHERY APARIMA HANDICAP

Top Pick
2 Martell
F: 1114XB(3)W(58.5)
( J-Floor Moerman )
( T-Kelvin Tyler )
Scored three consecutive wins last preparation, and it could return from a spell with a good performance, as the odds suggest.
Main Danger
3 Express Coup
Dividend : $4.10, $2.20
Won
F: 2X464B(7)W(54.0)
( J-Amber Riddell )
( T-Michael & Matthew Pitman )
Better for three runs under its belt this prep, and with its fitness levels up, it could recapture its best form. Dropping to 53kg helps.
Next Best
5 Rochello
Dividend : $3.20
Place
F: 39391B(6)W(54.0)
( J-Brett Murray )
( T-Sally McKay )
Turned its form around with a win at Riverton, and it could do the double. Worth including at the current each-way price.
Consider
4 Miss Brittany
F: 408X0B(2)W(54.0)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-John & Karen Parsons )
Only fair fresh up, but it shouldn't take long to get back to its best form.
Longer Odds
7 Industrialist
F: 84582B(9)W(54.0)
( J-Hayley Hassman )
( T-Sally McKay )
Best run for a while when second last start and one to boost your multis if running into a place

Top Pick
7 Explode
F: X5471B(5)W(58.5)
( J-Brandon May )
( T-Bruce Tapper )
Progressed nicely through its 4 runs this campaign to beat a good field at Riccarton a month ago. That will have done its confidence no harm and can go in again
Main Danger
11 Four The Moment
F: X490XB(11)W(57.0)
( J-Amber Riddell )
( T-Kelvin Tyler )
5yo out of the Tyler stable resuming after two runs last October. They were both in Stakes races so will find this a lot easier
Next Best
2 Linara
F: X4223B(17)W(60.0)
( J-Terry Moseley )
( T-Jenn Sheridan )
Goes in as its 5 runs since relocating from the north have produced close up finishes each time. But the wide draw will challenge its winning chances
Consider
9 Eastandwest
Dividend : $9.50, $3.10
Won
F: 03507B(1)W(58.0)
( J-Kavish Chowdhoory )
( T-Michael & Matthew Pitman )
Pitman's considered it good enough to take it to Trentham two back and then was never going to win from gate 13 last time. Rails draw today should see it in contention
Longer Odds
Best "Roughie"
12 Elegant Explosive
F: 37292B(2)W(56.0)
( J-Mereana Hudson )
( T-John & Karen Parsons )
Stable runners are going well and comes into this from a last start second. Drawn well and should get every chance

Top Pick
5 Miss Starlight
Dividend : $1.80
Place
F: 67206B(7)W(55.0)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-John & Karen Parsons )
We're backing Tina's judgment in this. We rated Queen Of Sheba a good chance but note Tina has decided to stick this one, which found the a600m in the Dunedin Guineas too far. Today's 1200m should suit
Main Danger
9 Queen Of Sheba
Dividend : $2.40
Place
F: 223X1B(2)W(55.0)
( J-Corey Campbell )
( T-Anna Furlong )
Looked good when resuming from a 3 month spell to win its maiden over this distance at Ashburton. Sure to come on for the race and this senior jockey is riding well. Inside draw
Next Best
1 Champagne Diblu
F: 015X1B(13)W(57.0)
( J-Billy Jacobson )
( T-Anna Furlong )
Comes into this after winning over distance 6 weeks ago. It was fresh up then so that shouldn't be a problem today
Consider
8 Better Shared
Dividend : $9.20, $3.50
Won
F: 964X1B(1)W(55.0)
( J-Amber Riddell )
( T-Kelvin Tyler )
Strong stable and last start winner so can't be ruled out. Best form has been in the Heavy though but rails draw to advantage
Longer Odds
6 Marokopa Falls
F: 53733B(4)W(55.0)
( J-Floor Moerman )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Te Akau have three in the race but this one is by far the best drawn. Has been running well enough to be considered a chance

Top Pick
1 Third Decree
F: 09443B(6)W(55.0)
( J-Kavish Chowdhoory )
( T-Michael & Matthew Pitman )
6yo out of the Pitman stable and a inner of 9 races. Close up again in a strong field last time and if early support in the market is anything to go by, it won't be far away
Main Danger
5 The Entertainer
F: 33199B(5)W(55.0)
( J-Yogesh Atchamah )
( T-Anna Furlong )
We're still waiting for this ex northerner to show up since coming south but there were better signs in its run last start
Next Best
4 Connello
F: 31486B(10)W(55.0)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-Lisa Latta )
From the Lisa Latta stable in the Cd and her only runner here today. Just 3/4 length behind our Top Pick last time and better drawn today
Consider
10 Canasta
Dividend : $2.30
Place
F: 4X971B(3)W(55.0)
( J-Billy Jacobson )
( T-Anna Furlong )
Hasn't had a lot of races but definitely looks to have the potential to be winning more. Won last time but hasn't been back out for a month and may have had a set back
Longer Odds
8 Palace Princess
F: 17142B(8)W(55.0)
( J-Kendra Bakker )
( T-Len & Lacy Stewart )
Not far away here last time in what was a competitive R75. Needs to improve and might

Won
F: 56515B(2)W(55.0)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-Stephanie Faulkner )
Trainer was confident of its chances at Invercargill two back and it bolted in by 6 lengths over an extended 2600m. The second that day, surprisingly, reversed the placings last time but this one had drawn wide out and was never a chance. Can bounce back
Main Danger
16 Sight To See
Dividend : $2.10
Place
F: 03091B(3)W(54.0)
( J-Unknown )
( T-Kelvin Tyler )
The longer we looked at this field, the more we felt it was likely a two horse race, with this one the likely quinella. Came back from two runs at Trentham to win here 4 weeks ago, despite coming out of gate 12. Twice a winner on the course and Amber sticks
Next Best
2 Capo Dell Impero
F: 92652B(19)W(60.0)
( J-Kylie Williams )
( T-Brian & Shane Anderton )
Runner up to Noble Knight last time and that is a good formline
Consider
1 Mayor Of Norwood
F: 51190B(7)W(62.0)
( J-Hayley Hassman )
( T-Brian & Shane Anderton )
A very good handicapper that can't be overlooked. Ran in the Wellington Cup two starts back
Longer Odds
14 Prince Alby
F: 00060B(5)W(54.0)
( J-Jack Taplin )
( T-Kelvin Tyler )
Kevin Tyler runner that has to show some improvement but has been a very good galloper in the past. Not a strong field for an $80k race
It was no surprise to see this Kevin Tyler trained 3yo win its last start, such was its prior form, but the style in which it did it was impressive. Stable apprentice brings the 3kg claim again and should be winning again
Main Danger
4 Who Rox The House
F: 6X713B(5)W(57.5)
( J-Rohan Mudhoo )
( T-Ebony Turner )
This ex northerner is the clear danger, having won once and placed second in its two runs in the south so far
Next Best
2 Gentle Ben
Dividend : $2.80
Place
F: 75040B(3)W(59.0)
( J-Daniel Bothamley )
( T-Bill McNamara )
No depth in this field and that gives this 6yo a chance. Was behind the promising Perlino last time
Consider
7 Jail Bird
F: 10835B(7)W(57.0)
( J-Ohara Najib )
( T-Nikki & Barrie Blatch )
Ran better when dropped to a R65 last time and can carry that forward
Longer Odds
6 Divine Spirit
F: 60X00B(9)W(57.0)
( J-Amber Riddell )
( T-Jenn Sheridan )
Would be a surprise winner but is capable on its day and drops back from a R75 today
