A close second in an Open steeplechase last time will have it improved, while dropping back to maidens in this role should see it get the job done
Main Danger
3 Red Ned
Dividend : $1.80
Place
F: 152L2B(5)W(68.0)
( J-Billy Marshall )
( T-John Wheeler )
Apart from when it lost its rider, it has performed well through both hurdle and steeplechase races this season. The obvious danger
Next Best
5 Metallo
F: X9X05B(6)W(68.0)
( J-Will Featherstone )
( T-Lucy de Lautour )
Has a bit to make up on our Top Pick from its last start but will be improved for that run
Consider
2 Super Flash
F: 04728B(1)W(68.0)
( J-Emily Farr )
( T-Mark Oulaghan )
Emily Farr is reunited with this 9yo, and it can improve on its last race when clearly things were not right
Longer Odds
Best "Roughie"
6 Skaw Valley
F: 17X0PB(4)W(68.0)
( J-Corey Wiles )
( T-Paul Nelson & Corrina McDougal )
Well backed when pulled up at Te Rapa so has to go in as the 'roughie' in this

Dividend : $3.20, $1.40
Won
F: X6610B(7)W(68.0)
( J-Jay Kozaczek )
( T-Jo Rathbone )
Good trainer who will have it well prepared for jumping debut. Has two subsequent jumps winners behind it when winning a highweight in May
Main Danger
2 Carignan
Dividend : $1.65
Place
F: 6X436B(6)W(68.0)
( J-Corey Wiles )
( T-Kevin Myers )
A very capable flat performer with one win and 8 seconds before going over the jumps for the first time two back. It was a competitive field and only three lengths away, and you can be assured Kevin Myers will have brought some improvement
Next Best
4 Chester Boy
F: 3231PB(5)W(68.0)
( J-Billy Marshall )
( T-John Wheeler )
6yo with good flat performances prior to being pulled up on jumps debut last time. Was well supported that day so deserves another chance
Consider
5 Little Thief
F: 2X380B(9)W(68.0)
( J-Kylan Wiles )
( T-Kevin Myers )
On debut over the jumps and can't dismiss its chances, with Kevin Myers doing the training
Longer Odds

Dividend : $4.40
Place
F: PX066B(4)W(68.0)
( J-Brandon Holliday )
( T-Gail Temperton )
Interested to note that this trainer has returned this one to hurdles, and it could bring the improvement

1 Kick On
Dividend : $1.65, $1.20
Won
F: 72252B(7)W(68.0)
( J-Kylan Wiles )
( T-Kevin Myers )
Nothing in this race would get anywhere near this quality galloper on the flat and, having shown us in its last start that it can jump, here can only be one winner
Main Danger
5 Cocktail Lad
F: 288X7B(3)W(68.0)
( J-Emily Farr )
( T-Gail Temperton )
Good flat performer that will have taken a lot from its jumping debut three weeks ago. Has 11 lengths to make up on Kick On from that race though
Next Best
2 Doctor Livingstone
F: 00X74B(2)W(68.0)
( J-Will Featherstone )
( T-Lucy de Lautour )
This one also had its jumps debut when just 5 lengths behind Kick On on this track. Nice run and could well go on with it
Consider
3 Scotty
F: 67244B(4)W(68.0)
( J-Billy Marshall )
( T-John Wheeler )
Ran on to finish a bit off the placegetters last time and that could well be the case here again today
Longer Odds
4 Benjamin
Dividend : $3.80
Place
F: 0X78XB(5)W(68.0)
( J-Corey Wiles )
( T-Paul Nelson & Corrina McDougal )
On debut so taking on trust but these are good trainers and will have it well prepared

Top Pick
2 Happy Star
Dividend : $1.20
Place
F: 27X71B(4)W(68.5)
( J-Emily Farr )
( T-Kevin Myers )
Just a small field and four of them trained at Whanganui. It's hard to go past a Kevin Myers runner at anytime and he looks to have worked his magic with this one again, as the 10yo looked in really good heart when winning here three weeks ago. Emily Farr adds the winning touch?
Main Danger
3 Billy Boy
Dividend : $5.00, $2.00
Won
F: 23203B(5)W(67.0)
( J-Will Featherstone )
( T-Jo Rathbone )
4 1/2 lengths behind Happy Start three weeks ago so the obvious danger. Very good when top of its game
Next Best
6 Tutin Cans
F: X8341B(3)W(65.0)
( J-Lemmy Douglas )
( T-J J Rayner )
Won its jumping maiden in strong fashion last time and has a lot of upside
Consider
4 Roc Up Ralph
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: X6826B(1)W(65.0)
( J-Hamish McNeill )
( T-Shaun & Emma Clotworthy )
In an Open hurdle last time and beaten 10 lengths. This is arguably a weaker field
Longer Odds
5 Dorothy's Daughter
F: 25X07B(2)W(65.0)
( J-Jordan Hart )
( T-Niall Quinn )
Makes up the field and failing mishaps, will probably trail them in

1 Spencer
F: 600X8B(5)W(62.0)
( J-Sienna Brown )
( T-Peter & Shaun McKay )

Main Danger
4 Sinbin
F: 64X44B(6)W(54.0)
( J-Kavish Chowdhoory )

The 'Day's Best'
5 Never Look Back
Dividend : $1.14
Place
F: X9511B(5)W(65.0)
( J-Emily Farr )
( T-Gail Temperton )
We think only the distance beats thus much improved 7yo today. Stepped up from a dominant hurdle win two back to take the Steeplechase fences in its stride and certainly has the past flat racing successes in its favour

7 Brucie
Dividend : $11.00, $2.45
Won
F: 36X43B(4)W(65.0)
( J-Billy Marshall )

Very astute Whanganui trainer who gets them tight for these big races. Lead up runs have been good

1 Nedwin
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 1FX91B(8)W(69.0)
( J-Mathew Gillies )
( T-Paul Nelson & Corrina McDougal )
Champion in its own right with just so many fabulous performances to recall. And what a training performance, and gutsy win, to have it win last time, as an 11yo. But up to 69kg today and that might find it out
Consider
2 Smug
F: 5X043B(2)W(65.0)
( J-Michael Roustoby )

8 Zac Flash
F: 38X35B(7)W(65.0)
( J-Hamish McNeill )
( T-Dan O'Leary )
This trainer's name goes hand in hand with success and he'll have to one tuned up to be in contention over the 4000m

F: 92361B(2)W(68.0)
( J-Alexandra Reed )
( T-G A & D G Rogerson & Clint Isdale )
Not much to get excited about in this, so let's go with the 'form horse'. This new training partnership has hit the ground running
Main Danger
2 So Call Me
F: X3352B(11)W(70.0)
( J-Lisa Kennedy )
( T-Kevin Myers )
Kevin Myers runner that comes into this off a second over the hurdles here three weeks ago. Still has the ability to win a race as weak as this
Next Best
3 Grand Prospect
Dividend : $3.50
Place
F: 983X9B(4)W(69.0)
( J-Evan Taiaroa )
( T-Sue Walsh )
A 9yo now but could show up in this particularly weak race ... it would if it recaptures its past form
Consider
7 Ziggy Khan
Dividend : $1.55
Place
F: 0X062B(10)W(66.5)
( J-Monique Dey )
( T-Nicole Sinclair )
A R65 galloper that has to be given a chance on the back of its last run for second
Longer Odds
8 Jacks Pride
F: 6936XB(1)W(66.5)
( J-Samantha Weller )
( T-Buddy Lammas )
Goes in on the back of this trainer's past record of having them 'ready to go' fresh up

Top Pick
2 Ryders Legacy
F: 531XB(6)W(59.0)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Allan Sharrock )
Progressed nicely in three runs at the end of last year, winning its last one, and on a Heavy track. Then spelled to give it time to mature and it should now be a lot stronger and make its way through the grades this time up
Main Danger
5 Palmarow
Dividend : $1.85
Place
F: 206X0B(10)W(58.0)
( J-Leah Hemi )
( T-Tawhiti Hina )
Second up today and you can expect a much improved run. Leah Hemi is a good booking for a galloper that ran against some pretty capable opposition in its last campaign
Next Best
7 Tommy Star
F: 86X65B(7)W(57.5)
( J-Madan Singh )
( T-Dan O'Leary )
A 6yo that has only the 7 starts, winning one in the Soft. Very good trainer and likely to be there at the business end
Consider
6 Silent Applause
F: 31910B(2)W(58.0)
( J-Chris Dell )
( T-Lisa Latta )
With Lisa Latta's strong strike rate, this one can't be dismissed. Has won in the Heavy
Longer Odds
10 He's All Fabulous
F: 3400XB(8)W(56.0)
( J-Rohan Mudhoo )
( T-Buddy Lammas )
There's no depth in this race at all so any of the 'roughies' could get in the mix. This one is fresh up and this trainer wins many a race with horses in that state

( T-Lisa Latta )
Lisa returns with this 6yo mare, three weeks on from the same conditions, track, track conditions, jockey .. and 1kg less. A repeat run can win it

Won
F: 84881B(1)W(61.5)
( J-Jim Chung )
( T-Roydon Bergerson )
What a great galloper this one has been and it did it so well here three weeks ago. Gives extra 4kg to the second that day today, and it may be the rails draw won't be the place to be, but looks a great chance
Next Best
4 Urenui
Dividend : $1.90
Place
F: 329X4B(7)W(55.0)
( J-Kavish Chowdhoory )

Nice fresh up effort and gets the extra distance and Heavy track to its advantage today, as well as being fitter
Consider
1 Belardo Boy
F: 8X206B(5)W(62.0)
( J-Leah Hemi )
( T-Lisa Latta )
Has to carry the steadier of 62kg today but don't let that put you off. Lisa hols a strong hand in the race with this one as well. 8 of 11 wins have come on a Heavy track
Longer Odds
6 Epee Beel
F: 80X87B(2)W(54.0)
( J-Sarah Macnab )
( T-John Wheeler )
Third up with this stable today, having relocated from the Pitman's in Christchurch. Might sneak into the finish to boost your multis
