Past Performance
These are our selections for this particular meeting - and an indication of 'how we performed'. It will also give you an insight as to what to expect when you subscribe to our service.

Main Danger
12 Heavenly Lady
F: 69X00B(8)W(56.5)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Shaun & Emma Clotworthy )
Much improved run last start and Sam McNab now takes the reins. Could see further progress over the 2100m
Next Best
1 Satomi
F: 57524B(2)W(58.5)
( J-Hayley Hassman )
( T-Paul Nelson & Corrina McDougal )
Close up in two most recent runs and if running up to that form, looks certain to be in the places
Consider
5 Paper Romance
Dividend : $2.25
Place
F: 47B(9)W(58.5)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Aimee Black )
Two useful runs to date, without threatening, and not much depth in this field
Longer Odds
6 Afore Ye Go
F: 7B(12)W(58.5)
( J-Jack Taplin )
( T-John Bell )
Astute trainer who will have brought good improvement to it since its debut run

1 Notabadspillane
Dividend : $6.00, $2.10
Won
F: X9035B(9)W(61.0)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Shaun Phelan )
Running well and dropped back to R75 last start, to finish just 2 1/2 lengths off Boxmoss three weeks ago. That one would be in warm order in this so that form ranks it a strong chance
Main Danger
2 Gold Currency
F: 8X219B(3)W(59.5)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Kurtis Pertab )
Trainer gave this one as his bet of the day two back, when it was stepping up to middle distance. That was at Whanganui and it won well. This easier than its last start
Next Best
4 Hakata Bay
F: 50196B(8)W(57.0)
( J-Ace Lawson-Carroll )
( T-Margaret Falconer )
Exceeded expectations when in behind Boxmoss and co last time, at big odds. Looks an improver
Consider
8 Squire
F: 21314B(5)W(55.0)
( J-Jack Taplin )
( T-Peter & Jessica Brosnan )
Last two runs have been over hurdles but showed good flat ability prior. Don't dismiss
Longer Odds
5 King Khan
F: 00X09B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Lynsey Satherley )
( T-Ken Harrison )
Better performance last week and now on the quick back up

Won
F: 1B(1)W(55.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Conor and Sarah Fahy )
Well backed and did it nicely when on debut. Has been given time since. Rails draw to advantage today and the second in its debut run franked the form with a win during this week
Main Danger
1 Swiss Prince
Dividend : $1.80
Place
F: 1102XB(7)W(59.0)
( J-Jack Taplin )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
If you were going on proven ability, there would be only one winner. And it might well greet them in the winners enclosure
Next Best
7 Ocean Opal
Dividend : $3.30
Place
F: 3321B(4)W(55.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Stephen Marsh also runs this 3yo and he was waxing lyrical about it after it won its maiden three weeks ago. One to keep an eye on
Consider
2 Winner Patch
F: 81B(5)W(57.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Shaun Phelan )
Good maiden winner last time and looks best of the rest
Longer Odds
6 Flyhalf
F: X5317B(3)W(55.0)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Tony Cole )
Hard to know what to make of this one as it has looked good at times, but also disappointed

Top Pick
The 'Day's Best'
2 Le Jacques Cartier
F: 3133B(12)W(60.0)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Danny Walker & Arron Tata )
Not far away in a competitive field when resuming and we noted it as a 'next up' winner. Sticking with that but the wide draw is a concern
Main Danger
5 Oberon
F: 74X30B(3)W(58.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Just 2 1/2 lengths behind today's Top Pick when they met on this track three weeks ago but has the best of the draw today, and that brings it into play
Next Best
7 Tale Of The Gypsy
F: 79294B(2)W(57.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
This one gives the Stephen Marsh stable a strong hand in the race. It was less than a length off at Ellerslie and is drawn well here
Consider
8 Durrani
Dividend : $14.00, $3.90
Won
F: 37216B(1)W(56.5)
( J-Sienna Brown )
( T-Chris Wood )
Once again, the depth drops off very quickly in this race too, bringing this one into play for a place. Rails draw
Longer Odds
3 Hey Hey Baby
Dividend : $3.70
Place
F: 57X34B(11)W(58.0)
( J-Hayley Hassman )
( T-Ralph Manning )
Third up today and note this in-form trainer has turned to Hayley to bring some improvement

Top Pick
9 Jethro Tull
F: 136X3B(5)W(54.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Brent Gillovic )
Terrific run by this 5yo when resuming from a 7 month spell on this track three weeks ago. Only beaten a nose in a three horse finish, it will take the most improvement
Main Danger
2 Little Bit Of Love
Dividend : $2.10
Place
F: 0X132B(4)W(59.0)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
This O'Sullivan/Scott runner is the quality in the race with the runs on the board. Squeezed out our Top Pick last time and will be very hard to beat
Next Best
7 Reward Smile
Dividend : $3.40, $1.90
Won
F: 050X4B(1)W(56.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Jenna Mahoney )
Less than a length off the ones in the three way finish here three weeks ago. That was its first run in four months so improves, and had won a trial prior
Consider
5 Cleat
F: X1068B(3)W(56.5)
( J-Joe Nishizuka )
( T-Danica Guy )
Not far off them in that same race here three weeks ago and certainly can't be left out of your reckoning
Longer Odds
6 Gospodin
Dividend : $2.80
Place
F: 84534B(2)W(56.5)
( J-Ashlee Strawbridge )
( T-Jim Pender )
What a genuine type this 8yo is. Doesn't win often these days but always thereabouts

Won
F: X0639B(8)W(57.0)
( J-Erin Leighton )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Best judged on its run two back when close up in a good, competitive field. Excusing last run when 4kg apprentice was up
Main Danger
5 Moneypenny
F: 25X16B(11)W(57.0)
( J-Tom Wigram )
( T-Barbara Kennedy )
Very good young trainer with a good strike rate. This apprentice is in hot demand right now and brings the 4kg weight relief
Next Best
7 Sense Of Timing
Dividend : $2.70
Place
F: 16X04B(6)W(56.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Te Akau runner with ability and resuming after a seven week break. we note Michael McNab is on the reins, which is a positive, but also see that it hasn't placed in four runs fresh up
Consider
8 Dramatic Miss
F: 87456B(9)W(56.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
An even field so this stephen Marsh runner, dropping back from Open class, does warrant respect
Longer Odds
9 Super Wraith
F: 7X071B(2)W(56.0)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )
( T-Ralph Manning )
Returned to form with a clear cut win at Whanganui last time and with this trainer and jockey at the top of their game right now, is worth a closer look

9 Astoria Brooke
Dividend : $3.40, $1.50
Won
F: X0446B(6)W(54.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Tony Pike )
A very good galloper in previous campaigns, it is yet to show up this time up but the signs were there in a WFA race last weekend. It's a good sign that it is backing up so quickly
Main Danger
6 Amira D'Argento
Dividend : $1.80
Place
F: 33549B(1)W(54.0)
( J-Joe Nishizuka )
( T-Taui Johnson )
Disappointed last weekend but prior to that had been close up in all its runs. Back up to 1600m again today, it can be in the finish. Rails draw to advantage
Next Best
1 Joshua Brown
F: 5X762B(4)W(60.0)
( J-Lynsey Satherley )
( T-Lance Gussey )
Although its won $160k, it is a bit under-rated galloper. But capable at this level and now third up, fitness levels should be good
Consider
2 Uderzo
F: 28217B(5)W(58.5)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
The O'Sullivan/Scott team have this one going well, including winning two back. Although it finished last in a 7 race field last time, it was only two lengths from the winner
Longer Odds
4 Solidify
F: 0X060B(7)W(54.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-G A & D G Rogerson & Clint Isdale )
Such an exciting prospect early in its career, only never to realise it, there have been signs this campaign that it could get some results. We continue to select, in anticipation

Top Pick
3 Starclan
F: 41843B(4)W(59.5)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Ross McCarroll )
Not a bad run here at the end of May. Today looks like a good opportunity for it, with Sam Collett in the saddle
Main Danger
8 Sugar Daddy
F: 1B(11)W(59.0)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Tony Pike )
Tony Pike runner that was good enough to win on debut, and on a Heavy10. So today's conditions should suit and the patience they showed in giving it trials beforehand, can pay off
Next Best
10 Afterglo
Dividend : $5.50, $2.20
Won
F: 90X45B(13)W(57.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Stephen Autridge )
Not many runners rate a chance in this so there could be a surprise winner. But this one has to go in, given it has been just in behind the placegetters in its two runs back and should be near peak fitness now
Consider
11 Trouble Maker
F: 8781B(8)W(57.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Craig Grylls rides this last start winner for Te Akau once again and in a modest field, it goes in as a chance to go back to back
Longer Odds
Best "Roughie"
2 Arjay's Flight
F: 624X8B(7)W(59.5)
( J-Tom Wigram )
( T-Shaun Phelan )
Exciting young apprentice has been retained by connections after it ran well when resuming three weeks ago. With the 4kg claim, it rates a good chance
