F: 91B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )

( J-Rihaan Goyaram )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
Hasn't been far away in last two runs, both in Open company, and now drops back to a R65. That needs taking into account, and rails draw to advantage

Dividend : $2.30
Place
F: 1233XB(6)W(53.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
This looks like a plum ride for Craig Grylls. Resuming from a 4 month spell and has looked good in its two trials to prepare. Likely to be in for a good campaign
Main Danger
11 Poetic Champion
F: X5X17B(4)W(53.0)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Tony Pike )
Tony Pike runner that looked superb when winning fresh up, with this good apprentice on the reins, and we expected it to back up in the Lightning. Look for the bounce back
Next Best
1 Navigator
Dividend : $2.30
Place
F: X2202B(10)W(59.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Cody Cole )

Won
F: 65631B(13)W(58.5)
( J-Bruno Queiroz )
( T-Lisa Latta )
Impressive when winning at Trentham 3 weeks ago, we a few of these runners behind. Would be rated higher but for drawing the outside gate
Longer Odds
6 Slipper Island
F: 70433B(1)W(53.0)
( J-Lily Sutherland )
( T-Tony Pike )
Has matured into a very good handicapper and should go well fresh. Rails draw

Top Pick
3 Ever Charm
F: 35365B(5)W(58.0)
( J-Jack Taplin )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Surprised to see this northern 5yo drop back to 1600m after it has run so well over the middle distance. But this is a top stable and they've found a weakish field
Main Danger
2 Marotiri Marsta
F: X5X25B(8)W(58.5)
( J-Sarah O'Malley )
( T-Buddy Lammas )
Here's a trainer that doesn't run his horses unless they a winning proposition and we expect it to be in the mix today

Dividend : $1.60
Place
F: 56424B(14)W(61.5)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

Dividend : $2.40
Place
F: 13X8B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )

5 Sid's Mate
F: 90X43B(9)W(57.5)
( J-Rohan Mudhoo )
( T-Kate Hercock )
A 7yo now but has certainly looked an improved galloper in two runs since its 10 month break. Third up today and can continue the progress

Place
F: 6X071B(3)W(55.0)
( J-Rihaan Goyaram )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
Andrew Forsman is consistently producing winners on his excursions to the CD these days and, in this last start winner, he has a 'value' chance. Stepping up to 2200m today
Main Danger
7 Savoir Faire
F: X5511B(14)W(53.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Has been a much improved galloper since stepping up in distance it its last two runs, winning both, albeit by small margins. Craig Grylls takes the reins now and just needs to overcome the wide gate to be in the finish
Next Best
4 Freddie Time
F: 23614B(13)W(57.0)
( J-Liam Kauri )
( T-Kelvin Tyler )
South Island galloper that has exceeded expectations since campaigning in the north since late last year. Drawn wide but in with a chance
Consider
10 Sinhaman
Dividend : $2.60
Place
F: 37103B(1)W(53.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Ran well to be just over 1 1/2 lengths behind Savoire Faire last start and Stephen Marsh sure to have it at peak for this
Longer Odds
Best "Roughie"
14 Procul Boy
F: 51030B(11)W(53.0)
( J-Lynsey Satherley )
( T-Gail Temperton )
Stepping up to this distance for the first time and that should suit it perfectly, given that it finishes its races off well. Could be a bit underrated and this jockey is riding at the peak of her form

F: 21668B(6)W(56.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Capable galloper and has been running in stronger fields than this, up north. Furthermore, connections have acquired the services of Craig Grylls. Although 8th last start, was less than 2 1/2 lengths off the winner
Main Danger
4 Coulthard
Dividend : $1.70
Place
F: 02022B(11)W(58.0)
( J-Jonathan Riddell )
( T-Lisa Latta )
Terrific run to go close to beating Girl Talk at Whanganui 4 weeks ago, despite a wide draw, and that one franked the form when winning a $100k race last weekend. Has been heavily backed to win
Next Best
1 Frank The Tank
F: 34538B(8)W(63.5)
( J-Jack Taplin )
( T-Bill Thurlow and Sam O’Malley )
Interesting to see the claimer on the reins here, given Craig Grylls often rides for the stable. Has been running in stronger fields, including the Japan Trophy last time, and not far away
Consider
2 Desert Mystic
F: 72231B(9)W(61.0)
( J-Liam Kauri )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
A second runner in the race for this good stable and has been in good form, winning well at its last start
