Place

F: 12111   B(1) W(54.0)
( J- Masa Hashizume )

The 'Day's Best'

8 Fatal Affair

F: 5   B(5) W(55.0)
( J- Matt Cartwright )
( T- Stephen Marsh )

Looked a 'good thing' to be in the money on debut after impressing in winning both trials. That race didn't work out well but it can redeem itself today

Main Danger

3 Pellargo

F:   B(4) W(57.0)
( J- Masa Hashizume )
( T- Tony Pike )

Comes into this after 5 trials, and a winner of one. Noted that Masa rides, having ridden Judie's smarties in all its trials. Interesting

Next Best

1 Judy's Smarties
Dividend : $1.90

Place

F:   B(1) W(57.0)
( J- Craig Grylls )
( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

As we've come to understand with this stable, they are patient with their unraced team. This one won the last of its 4 trials and now comes to race day

Consider

9 Intan
Dividend : $2.25

Place

F:   B(3) W(55.0)
( J- Michael McNab )
( T- Tony Pike )

Another runner for the Tony Pike stable and given the stable's strike rate for runners on debut, a win wouldn't surprise

Longer Odds

Dividend : $4.40, $2.15

Won

F: 236X6   B(2) W(55.0)
( J- Wiremu Pinn )

Top Pick

2 Sweetazme

F: 2247X   B(6) W(59.5)
( J- Matthew Cameron )
( T- Ray Fleming )

So impressive when coming from the back of the field on the home turn to win by 5 lengths when fresh up at Rotorua last July. Fresh up today and can repeat

Main Danger

4 Opressor
Dividend : $2.50

Place

F: 14   B(3) W(59.0)
( J- Sam McNab )
( T- Danny Walker & Arron Tata )

4yo that showed its potential when winning on debut. Excuse last run in a strong field

Next Best

1 Fleeting Star

F: 39244   B(10) W(60.5)
( J- Joe Nishizuka )
( T- Graham Richardson & Rogan Norvall )

Has been running a few times in Stakes races so clearly well thought of. In-form apprentice takes over and is good value for the 3kg claim

Consider

6 She's Untouchable

F: 30554   B(5) W(57.0)
( J- Michael McNab )
( T- Stephen Marsh )

Stephen Marsh runner that went well last time and can't be left out

Longer Odds

7 Tale Of The Gypsy

F: 07929   B(8) W(57.0)
( J- Masa Hashizume )
( T- Stephen Marsh )

Another Stephen Marsh runner that was beaten by its stablemate last time. Race didn't pan out well for it then and is the value here

2 Manolete
Dividend : $2.60, $1.35

Won

F: 4342   B(2) W(58.5)
( J- Craig Grylls )
( T- Tony Cole )

Despite a wide draw, ran its best race to date at its last start, here three weeks ago. Flyhalf was third that day and has franked the form with a win since

Main Danger

1 Earlicheer
Dividend : $2.25

Place

F: 6X723   B(5) W(58.5)
( J- George Rooke )
( T- Stephen Marsh )

Has looked a lot more mature in its two runs back and that has been reflected in its placings

Next Best

8 Prominere

F: 7X3X   B(3) W(56.5)
( J- Michael McNab )
( T- Simon & Katrina Alexander )

Michael McNab takes the ride for this stable and its impressive 5 length win at the trials might well have something to do with it

Consider

9 Watermelon Sugar

F: 43X55   B(11) W(56.5)
( J- Masa Hashizume )
( T- Michelle Bradley )

Gate 15 makes it tough but you do have to like its two runs this campaign

Longer Odds

15 Sombr

F: 9   B(7) W(58.5)
( J- Matt Cartwright )
( T- Lauren Brennan )

Given it won both trials prior to debut, and then an OK run in that race, the odds seem generous. And Opie rides

Dividend : $1.95

Place

F: 76332   B(5) W(55.5)
( J- Craig Grylls )
( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

The booking of Craig Grylls can be the winning advantage here, in a closely contested race

Main Danger

3 Sweet But Psycho

F: X7575   B(11) W(58.0)
( J- Masa Hashizume )
( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

This top stable now put this 5yo over ground for the first time this campaign. Should be perfect as was finishing on well over 1600m last start

Next Best

2 Free Bird
Dividend : $3.00, $1.50

Won

F: X6712   B(4) W(58.0)
( J- Michael McNab )
( T- David Greene )

Trainer has got this 4yo running well this campaign and now it steps up to middle distance for the first time

Consider

4 Del Inquent

F: 7X316   B(3) W(58.0)
( J- Corentin Berge )
( T- Tony Pike )

Not only is this one a chance, coming out of the Tony Pike stable, but this French jockey is absolutely riding a wave right now, full of confidence

Longer Odds

10 Naughty Grannie

F: 981   B(7) W(57.0)
( J- Wiremu Pinn )
( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

Te Akau put this one on the synthetic last time, and up to 2000m, and it duly got the job done. Wiremu now takes over and adds to its chances

Top Pick

2 Pacifico

F: 71311   B(3) W(61.5)
( J- George Rooke )
( T- Andrew Forsman )

A winner of 8 races now, after getting home nicely here two weeks ago. The draw could be the key here as it should be able to run near the pace and kick on

Main Danger

11 War Of Succession

F: 8X833   B(12) W(54.0)
( J- Hayley Hassman )
( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

A much better run when up to this distance three weeks ago and now with Hayley riding again and bringing the claim, is 5 1/2 kg better off against Super Fly today

Next Best

12 Super Fly
Dividend : $1.55

Place

F: X7311   B(11) W(54.0)
( J- Michael McNab )
( T- Conor and Sarah Fahy )

Likely to start favourite after winning its last two. But has drawn wide and is now stepping up to open company for the first time

Consider

7 Fly My Wey
Dividend : $6.50, $2.30

Won

F: 64655   B(1) W(54.0)
( J- Jasmine Fawcett )
( T- Mark Brosnan )

Nice run to be just two lengths away when resuming. That was over 1600m and will prefer this 2100m. Rails draw

Longer Odds

8 Doddle

F: 27309   B(5) W(54.0)
( J- Courtney Barnes )
( T- Stephen Marsh )

Performed better than expectations two weeks ago when just 3 1/2 lengths away at a price of $76. Another that will like this extra distance

Top Pick

2 Ruby Rush

F: 31214   B(8) W(56.0)
( J- Jack Taplin )
( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

Has the ability to be winning one of these Stakes races and comes into this fitter for its resuming run last start. Good apprentice takes over and brings the 2kg claim

Main Danger

4 Accentuate

F: X8232   B(1) W(55.0)
( J- Michael McNab )
( T- Andrew Forsman )

Rails draw and less than 1/2 length behind Bulgari last time. With Craig Grylls now taking over, you really do have to rate its chances

Next Best

6 Cosmic Dream
Dividend : $1.20

Place

F: 15X33   B(3) W(55.0)
( J- George Rooke )
( T- Roger James & Robert Wellwood )

Just the 5 career starts and hasn't been far away in all of them. Third up this campaign today and back to Stakes class

Consider

1 Wine Rocs
Dividend : $7.50, $2.05

Won

F: 102   B(5) W(57.0)
( J- Lynsey Satherley )
( T- Debbie Sweeney )

Came off a winning trial to win on debut, so clearly has good ability. Two subsequent runs have earned it its chance in Stakes company today

Longer Odds

8 Curved Glory
Dividend : $2.30

Place

F: 1   B(4) W(55.0)
( J- Masa Hashizume )
( T- Donna Logan )

9 Hasstorock
Dividend : $2.35

Place

F: 66X33   B(2) W(57.5)
( J- Matt Cartwright )
( T- Roger James & Robert Wellwood )

Third up today after close up finishes in two Stakes races. Drops back to R65 here and Matt Cartwright has been called up to get the job done. He's riding well enough to do just that

Main Danger

6 Priovita

F: 58X51   B(3) W(59.0)
( J- George Rooke )
( T- Stephen Marsh )

Despite coming out of gate 12, this Stephen Marsh runner did it nicely when winning at Matamata three weeks ago. One to follow through the grades

Next Best

18 Savvy Donna

F: 15065   B(4) W(56.5)
( J- Matthew Cameron )
( T- Ray Fleming )

Under 1 1/2 lengths behind Bulgari in a Stakes race last time and that rates well for its chances here

Consider

3 Orson Stone
Dividend : $2.50

Place

F: 6X634   B(1) W(59.5)
( J- Elen Nicholas )
( T- Andrew Forsman )

Shaping up as a 4yo with potential and expect it will run well again today. Rails draw gives it every chance

Best "Roughie"

1 Yokozuna

F: 2X566   B(5) W(60.0)
( J- Tom Wigram )
( T- Donna Logan )

Improved run when also just 1 1/2 lengths behind Bulgari at its last start. Looked exciting after winning on debut and might now be ready to fulfil its potential
