Although not running in the money, hasn't been far away in most recent runs and won't take much to change to see it in the mix. That might be the Heavy track today

Although 8th last time, it was an improved run, and only 3 1/2 lengths from the winner. It clearly liked the Heavy8

The odds look favourable here for this 3yo on debut, given it has looked good in winning its last two trials. One of those was by 9 1/2 lengths on a Heavy track too

Caught the eye as one to watch in the future when running home well on debut in July of last year. Resumes on the back of 3 trials so will be fit enough

Well fancied on debut on the back of a strong home reputation but all was not right in running. Rails draw and experienced now, so should redeem itself

Hard to think this 3yo filly won't be there at the business end on what it's shown in three seconds this campaign. Inside gate to advantage

Te Akau runner on debut after trialling over the last 10 months. Sure to be well prepared and stable apprentice brings claim

5 Turfquake
F: 376XB(19)W(58.0)
( J-George Rooke )

Everything points to this one being a winning chance except the wide draw ... looking promising in 3 runs last campaign, is resuming after a 5 month spell on the back of a winning trial, and has been backed down from an opening $15

Went nicely in only run last December and will return a more mature galloper. Tony Pike trains

Although it was only a length away last time, when running an improved race, we're a bit surprised to see it tight in the market. That is generally a good sign and with this senior rider taking over, we like its chances
