  Race 1 - SUBWAY ROTORUA/TAUPO MDN 1200

  Time: 12:27 PM | Distance: 1200 m | Prize $ 20000
• Top Pick

  

  11 Ragtime Rose  

  F:   B(1)  W(53.5)

   ( J- Ashlee Strawbridge )

   ( T- Debbie Sweeney )

  On debut after winning both trials to prepare. Impressive in winning both of them and looks an exciting prospect. Rails draw and 3kg claim to advantage

  Main Danger

  

  3 That'll Do  

  F:   B(9)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Daniel Miller )

  This one is on debut as a 6yo but did look to have good ability when winning its latest trial 11 days ago. We note the booking of Michael McNab too and just needs to overcome a wide draw

  Next Best

  

  1 Kahului  

  F: 2   B(6)  W(58.5)

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Stephen Marsh runner that should be unbeaten, being unlucky not to get up when finishing strongly on debut and beaten by the smallest of margins

  Consider

  

  6 Kalgarry Ally  

  Dividend : $4.50

  Place

  F: 903   B(2)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Samantha Collett )

   ( T- Darryn & Briar Weatherley )

  This stable doesn't have a lot of horses going around at anyone time so the ones that are, need considering

  Longer Odds

  

  7 Sweet Torquer  

  Dividend : $3.30

  Place

  F: 7X257   B(3)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Tom Wigram )

   ( T- Samantha Logan )

  Interested to see this young apprentice booked for this one today. Along with his 4kg claim, he adds a lot of value

  Race 2 - DG BROWN AGRICULTURAL 1200

  Time: 1:00 PM | Distance: 1200 m | Prize $ 35000
• Top Pick

  

  1 Jelly Roll  

  F: 74133   B(3)  W(60.0)

   ( J- Tom Wigram )

   ( T- Samantha Logan )

  Already a winner on a Heavy10, three back, that's going to be in its favour today. Inside draw and this very capable apprentice brings the 4kg claim

  Main Danger

  

  11 Starlit Express  

  F: 137X0   B(7)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Masa Hashizume )

   ( T- Tony Pike )

  Tried in a Stakes race in February, at the end of its first campaign, so connections must think it offers a bit. Wasn't far away when resuming three weeks ago and takes improvement

  Next Best

  

  7 Sir Fergus  

  Dividend : $1.70

  Place

  F: 59X34   B(12)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- Barbara Kennedy )

  With the pre-race favourite scratching on Friday, this one has come in in the market and doesn't really offer much 'value'. But third up, it is a chance but needs to overcome a wide draw

  Consider

  

  6 Oberon  

  F: 4X306   B(11)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Finished ahead of Starlit Express last time but already had two runs under its belt. Nice effort though and looks a chance

  Longer Odds

  

  4 Hey Hey Baby  

  Dividend : $6.50, $2.40

  Won

  F: 7X343   B(5)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Ashlee Strawbridge )

   ( T- Ralph Manning )

  This stable continues to be in good form and it was less than a length away three weeks ago. All 4 races it has won have been in the Heavy

  The 'Day's Best'

  

  2 Quondo  

  Dividend : $2.30, $1.40

  Won

  F: 03X11   B(4)  W(58.5)

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( T- Andrew Forsman )

  Has come back this campaign a much more mature galloper and you've got to like the way it it has taken out both its races this time up. Exciting prospect

  Main Danger

  

  1 Swiss Prince  

  Dividend : $1.45

  Place

  F: 102X2   B(1)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Joe Doyle )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  We saw what this Stephen Marsh runner was capable of last campaign and it looks to have trained on, judging by its run when resuming three weeks ago. The one that beat it that day has just been sold to Australia

  Next Best

  

  3 Ashoka  

  F: 24222   B(2)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Tony Pike )

  Is better than the one win would suggest as has been runner up 7 times. But has been only running in R65's so hard to see it winning

  Consider

  

  5 Brass Monkey  

  F: 71   B(2)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Matthew Cameron )

   ( T- Taui Johnson )

  Hot in the market when winning its maiden last time. Looks 'best of the rest'

  4 Bella's Boy  

  F: 84X29   B(6)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Masa Hashizume )

   ( T- Ralph Manning )

  Just the six runs and looks promising. Its win was in the Heavy

• Top Pick

  

  2 Sneaky Cyclone  

  F: 64342   B(9)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Daniel Miller )

  We've selected this one in its last two starts and we're sticking with it, as it is going about its work well. Michael McNab sticks too

  Main Danger

  

  6 Artful Dodger  

  Dividend : $2.60

  Place

  F: 735   B(3)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Joe Doyle )

   ( T- Ross McCarroll )

  Three starts and drawn gates 14, 13, and 14! Yet hasn't been far away at the finish. Lovely inside draw today and resumes after a short freshen up

  Next Best

  

  4 Icon  

  F: X0X02   B(2)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Tim & Margaret Carter )

  Trainer called up Craig Grylls last start and we saw considerable improvement. A plus that he sticks, and comes out of gate 2

  Consider

  

  5 The Darzi  

  F: 924   B(8)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Erin Leighton )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  This 3yo has improved in its three runs to date and was ahead of Artful Dodger last time. Just wonder if it might need a run after 5 weeks away

  Longer Odds

  

  7 Iron Throne  

  F: 04   B(6)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Ethan Jones )

   ( T- Darrel Lang )

  Won a trial prior to debut and has looked good in two subsequent runs. This English jockey has adapted to NZ racing now too

  Dividend : $3.70

  Place

  F: 35493   B(2)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Abinith Simon )

   ( T- Taui Johnson )

  Drawn well and comes into this after running Astoria Brookes to less than two lengths last time. Now drops back from Open company and gets the 4kg claim

  Main Danger

  

  2 Skattebo  

  F: 41161   B(1)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Tom Wigram )

   ( T- Janelle Millar )

  You can't deny this New Plymouth trainers ability and she places her horses well, not scared to bring them north. She has booked this gun apprentice today, and the 4kg claim puts it in well

  Won

  F: 9X591   B(7)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Darrel Lang )

  With Hayley choosing to stay with Lotus, Craig Grylls drops into the saddle of this last start winner

  Consider

  

  9 Eizus  

  F: 1X573   B(5)  W(55.0)

   ( J- George Rooke )

  F: X8631   B(5)  W(56.0)

  1 Little Bit Of Love  

  Dividend : $1.60

  Place

  F: X1322   B(7)  W(60.0)

   ( J- Tom Wigram )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  Highest rated horse in the race and in terrific form. Unlucky in a very tight finish to lose out to Tristar two back and now gets 4kg off its back, with Tom Wigram taking over

  Main Danger

  

  6 Tristar  

  F: 52414   B(2)  W(54.5)

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  Worse off in the weights since beating A Little Bit Of Love but does look the next best in ability for this race. Top stable and well drawn

  Next Best

  

  2 Reward Smile  

  F: 50X41   B(8)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Masa Hashizume )

   ( T- Jenna Mahoney )

  Got the better of A Little Bit Of Love here three weeks ago, in what was only its second run this campaign. Has to have improved since too

  Consider

  

  5 Grande Gallo  

  F: 62518   B(1)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Hayley Hassman )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  What a good galloper this one is on its day. Has won twice in the Heavy and over this distance

  F: 82174   B(3)  W(58.0)

  6 Notabadspillane  

  F: 90351   B(8)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Elen Nicholas )

   ( T- Shaun Phelan )

  We've really liked the way this has raced over the last three starts, and that's not surprising given the skill of this good trainer. Capped it off with a win in the Heavy three weeks ago and can back it up

  Main Danger

  

  5 McKhan  

  F: 93311   B(7)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Liam Kauri )

   ( T- Ashley Meadows )

  You had to like the way this 7yo dominated last time and now it travels north with a strong opportunity

  Next Best

  

  3 Tisse  

  F: X0316   B(14)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Allan Sharrock )

  Another CD runner that's in with a shout. Got too far back last start to pick up McKhan and from gate 16, you'd think it will get back again

  Dividend : $2.90

  Place

  F: 31173   B(15)  W(62.0)

   ( J- Tom Wigram )

   ( T- Andrew Forsman )

  Such a quality handicapper that it has to be included but its work will be cut out from this wide draw

  14 Tenfoot Tall  

  F: X0516   B(3)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Jasmine Fawcett )

   ( T- Vicki Prendergast )

  This 4yo mare has a lot of upside so it was disappointed when it never showed up at Otaki last start. Giving it a chance to bounce back

  Won

  F: 6X605   B(8)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Tom Wigram )

   ( T- John Bell )

  Behind the winners Sabatini and Quondo in its first two runs this season and they represent a good formline for this. With Tom Ingram being handed the reins, it brings the weight down 4kg

  Main Danger

  

  1 Ever Charm  

  F: 42632   B(7)  W(60.0)

   ( J- Hayley Hassman )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  Hayley Hassman rarely rides for this stable but should suit it perfectly with her well timed runs. Consistently thereabouts and should be there at the business end again today

  8 Explosive Impact  

  F: 345X6   B(1)  W(57.5)

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( T- Allan Sharrock )

  Has more ability than the one win would suggest and interesting that this New Plymouth trainer has called up George Rooke. Rails draw to advantage

  11 Feint To East  

  F: 50X16   B(4)  W(56.5)

  F: 00082   B(2)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Ace Lawson-Carroll )
