Place
F: 9B(10)W(56.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
These Australian imports have been winning in their first race or two and this one looks likely to continue the trend, as they have it tight in the market
Main Danger
12 Russian Blues
F: 4279XB(5)W(56.0)
( J-Kendra Bakker )
( T-Lance Robinson )
Ex northerner on southern debut and having its first run in 5 months. Showed good ability in 5 runs in the CD

F: 49XB(12)W(56.0)
( J-Akshay Balloo )
( T-Dean MacGregor )
First run for 5 months but has clearly developed over that time, winning its trial to prepare. Also drawn a wide gate
Consider
1 Ifyoustartmeup
F: X4X42B(16)W(58.5)
( J-Corey Campbell )
( T-Steven Woodsford )
Two nice runs this campaign and there's no question that it will be winning soon. Today's wide draw is our concern for today
Longer Odds

( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Danny Crozier )

Top Pick
3 Pure Artist
Dividend : $2.80, $1.40
Won
F: 06265B(6)W(59.0)
( J-Donovan Cooper )
( T-Michael & Matthew Pitman )
Pitman's always go away from the meetings here with at least a winner or two and this one has an opportunity to put them on the board, with the scratching of the Terri Rae runner
Main Danger
7 Filter
F: 55471B(3)W(56.5)
( J-Brett Murray )
( T-Ashley Frye )
Hard to think this last start maiden winner won't be the one to beat, given that maiden win margin was nearly 8 lengths
Next Best
6 Leinster
Dividend : $2.40
Place
F: 63902B(8)W(57.5)
( J-Hayley Hassman )
( T-John Blackadder )
Just beaten by Jetstream here 3 weeks ago and will run well again here today
Consider
5 Jetstream
F: 88941B(5)W(58.5)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Michael & Matthew Pitman )
Pitman's also run this one, a blowout winner at $49 here three weeks ago. And that was out of gate 11 so has to be considered
Longer Odds
1 Giannis
F: 56552B(12)W(59.5)
( J-Triston Moodley )
( T-Lyn Prendergast )
Came to win its race at Ashburton last time but just outmuscled. If overcoming the draw, looks real value

Race 3 - PROPERTY BROKERS WELCOME STAKES (L)
Time: 1:06 PM | Distance: 1000 m | Prize $ 80000
Top Pick
1 Hezzarocstar
F: 311B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Jamie Bullard )
Beat the two Te Akau runners in this race when winning its second race on the trot here 3 weeks ago. No reason to think there will be a reversal to that, especially with Matt Cameron taking over
Main Danger
5 Enchantment
Dividend : $3.20, $1.50
Won
F: 33X2B(5)W(55.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Two definite chances for Te Akau if Hezzarockstar falters and given this one beat its stablemate by a length last time, is our pick of the pair
Next Best
2 Never Too Much
Dividend : $1.20
Place
F: 33B(4)W(57.0)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
One would assume Te Akau think this is the better of the two, given Opie has been given the reins. He might make a difference
Consider
3 Final Time
Dividend : $1.60
Place
F: 6X1B(7)W(55.0)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-John & Karen Parsons )
Impressive effort to win a Stakes race in February, when resuming from a two month break. Has been kept fresh again and resumes
Longer Odds
4 I Am Belle
F: 16XB(3)W(55.0)
( J-Yogesh Atchamah )
( T-Andrew Carston )
Won on debut and then considered good enough to take on the best 2yo's just prior to Christmas. Resumes

Time: 1:40 PM | Distance: 1400 m | Prize $ 35000
Top Pick
1 Iron Hawk
Dividend : $3.20, $1.60
Won
F: X2021B(5)W(60.0)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-Lance Robinson )
Can't go past this one. Australian import that had it all to do when coming out of gate 13 last time, when having only its second run in New Zealand but did it with a bit in hand. Third up today, will be improved, and Tina adds the winning edge
Main Danger
14 Staphanos Queen
F: 04071B(1)W(54.0)
( J-Yogesh Atchamah )
( T-Anna Furlong )
Ex northerner that was impressive in winning on southern debut. This tougher but looks progressive and rails draw to advantage
Next Best
3 Cool 'N' Fast
Dividend : $2.20
Place
F: 73411B(3)W(59.0)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Opie takes over on this hattrick seeking Te Akau runner and should be in the mix from its inside gate
Consider
11 Boss 'N' Highheels
F: X9X81B(10)W(55.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Terri Rae )
Terri Rae got the win with this one at only its second start after relocating from the north. Has good ability, as we recall from its 2yo days
Longer Odds
12 Nuncio
F: 20244B(7)W(55.0)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Les Didham )
Two lengths off Stephanos Queen last start so has a bit to find but could well run a place for those wanting to boost their multis

Time: 2:15 PM | Distance: 1600 m | Prize $ 35000
Top Pick
1 Awesome Lineup
Dividend : $8.90, $3.20
Won
F: 124X7B(7)W(60.0)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Joseph Waldron )
Three times a winner and four times second in Australia before moving to NZ with its trainer, and judging by its debut run, will be winning very soon, probably today.
Main Danger
2 Wanderin Spelle
F: 4X236B(6)W(59.5)
( J-Donovan Cooper )
( T-Ross Beckett )
Just the 8 starts to date but progressing nicely. Just 3 lengths behind the talented Perlino last time and that's a good formline
Next Best
4 Life Of Riley
F: 32472B(4)W(58.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Terri Rae )
Such is its consistency, it has to go in as one of the contenders. Might well have to settle for a place once again
Consider
11 High Roller
F: 16200B(5)W(57.0)
( J-Hayley Hassman )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Te Akau runner that was in behind Perlino last start too, and will be improved for the run. Stable apprentice brings the claim
Longer Odds
3 Willit
F: 88671B(15)W(59.5)
( J-Amber Riddell )
( T-John Blackadder )
Former northerner that registered its first win in the south just 10 days ago. Only concern is the wide draw but may be good enough to overcome that with the extra 200m here

Top Pick
The 'Day's Best'
7 Perlino
Dividend : $1.80
Place
F: 73171B(2)W(56.5)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Even the outside gate in a 16 horse field didn't prevent this talented 3yo filly from registering its second win in 3 starts here 3 weeks ago. Te Akau will have had it lined up for this Listed race and Opie can add the winning touch
Main Danger
6 Bona Sforza
Dividend : $6.90, $2.40
Won
F: 264X0B(13)W(56.5)
( J-Ace Lawson-Carroll )
( T-Samantha Finnegan )
Has looked very smart at times in its 5 starts, four of which were in good company in its first campaign. Not far away at Trentham last time, indicating it has trained on well
Next Best
5 Miss Starlight
Dividend : $1.80
Place
F: 72063B(15)W(56.5)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-John & Karen Parsons )
On the quick back up after finishing a close third in the Gore Guineas last weekend. Tina rides again
Consider
8 Dux
F: 4X815B(10)W(56.5)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Bill Thurlow and Sam O’Malley )
A winner of just one race, its best performance was to be just 6 lengths away in the Oaks last time. Comes in fresh and that will be well suited to the 1600m here
Longer Odds
2 Hello Hayley
F: 64119B(8)W(56.5)
( J-Donovan Cooper )
( T-Sophie Price )
Going to excuse last week's run when it was never in contention after coming out of a wide draw. Won the Dunedin Guineas prior

Best "Each Way"
10 Pizarro
Dividend : $1.70
Place
F: 41112B(7)W(54.0)
( J-Akshay Balloo )
( T-Bridget Woodsford )
Steps up to Open company for the first time today, after being a revelation these last 4 months. Was on a 4 timer here 3 weeks ago and just got run out of it by a decent one in Iron Hawk
Main Danger
1 Spot On Time
F: 1X11XB(5)W(61.5)
( J-Triston Moodley )
( T-Terri Rae )
Resuming after a 5 month spell, this talented 6yo has won 7 and been runner up 3 times in just 12 races. Has a great fresh up record and four wins on the track
Next Best
7 Master Brutus
Dividend : $1.60
Place
F: 22X41B(4)W(54.0)
( J-Kylie Williams )
( T-Andrew Carston )
Ex northerner, it got home in a tight finish over Texas Dolly on its southern debut and will take improvement. Drawn well
Consider
3 Insatiable
Dividend : $13.70, $3.50
Won
F: 32106B(12)W(56.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Te Akau runner that was less than 2 1/2 lengths behind Master Brutus last time and rates a chance on that form
Longer Odds
13 American Liaison
F: 118X4B(8)W(54.0)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Joseph Waldron )
This Australian import was just two lengths off our Top Pick on its NZ debut three weeks ago and will come on for that effort

Race 8 - TAB SOUTHERN ALPS CHALLENGE OPEN HCP
Time: 3:59 PM | Distance: 1600 m | Prize $ 350000
Top Pick
3 Witz End
F: 15151B(14)W(59.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Terri Rae )
This former Tony Pike trained runner has been reinvigorated since moving south and looks a strong chance here, even from its wide draw. Joe Doyle takes over and he is a jockey for these big races
Main Danger
7 Stonybreck
F: L6073B(7)W(57.0)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Te Akau generally win or go close in the races that matter and this one is at the peak of its form right now. Opie takes the reins and will ensure it gets a good run
Next Best
17 Aladdins Jem
F: 12115B(2)W(53.0)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-Vicky Ramhit )
Just the 9 starts, it has been progressive this campaign in winning two of its last three starts and close up in the SI Breeders Stakes 3 weeks ago. Drawn well and Tina is reunited
Consider
1 Inflamed
F: 36811B(9)W(59.0)
( J-Corey Campbell )
( T-Brian & Shane Anderton )
Despite the increased weight today, it should not be written off as its running very well, as are all this stables runners
Longer Odds
Best "Roughie"
14 Loose Sally
F: 11140B(3)W(53.5)
( J-Ruvanesh Muniandy )
( T-Shankar Muniandy )
Just 5 1/2 lengths away in the SI Breeders Stakes last time and that form gives it a 'roughies' chance in this

Race 9 - RACECOURSE HOTEL & MOTOR LODGE
Time: 4:31 PM | Distance: 2000 m | Prize $ 35000
Top Pick
13 The Boss Lady
F: 503X1B(2)W(55.5)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Jamie Bullard )
This 4yo looks to have considerable ability and only absences from the track see it racing in a R75. Won here in February after a 10 month spell and hasn't raced since, but the fact that Joe Doyle rides suggest that they rate it a winning chance
Main Danger
8 Akenehi
F: 15184B(5)W(56.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Terri Rae )
Continues to finish close up in its races and the Michael McNab factor might get it over the line today
Next Best
3 Perfect Tycoon
F: 11152B(1)W(60.0)
( J-Ruvanesh Muniandy )
( T-Shankar Muniandy )
A 4yo with only the 10 starts, it has been a winner 3 times and runner up 4 times. With that sort of form, and rails draw to advantage, it looks very likely to be there at the business end today
Consider
4 Cognoscenti
Dividend : $4.50, $2.10
Won
F: 19621B(13)W(59.5)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Te Akau 4yo that won here 5 weeks ago and now turns out again, with Opie being handed the reins this time. Wide draw to overcome
Longer Odds
12 O'Riordan
F: 52182B(9)W(55.5)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Stephanie Faulkner )
Despite the wide draw, it was under a length from the winner over 1600m at Ashburton 10 days ago. Steps up to 2000m for the first time today and that just might see it back in the winners enclosure
