Next Best
1 Billy Boy
F: 20319B(5)W(69.0)

Won
F: 68X21B(8)W(59.0)
( J-Sarah Macnab )
( T-Jo Rathbone )

F: X39X1B(13)W(59.0)
( J-Ashlee Strawbridge )
( T-Stephanie Faulkner )
Hasn't raced for 6 weeks but was a nice winner on this course then. early money would suggest its been preparing well but wide draw a concern

( J-Floor Moerman )
( T-Kevin Myers )

Dividend : $2.45, $1.24
Won
F: 14211B(1)W(65.0)
( J-Lemmy Douglas )
( T-J J Rayner )
While it performed well as a hurdler, it seems the bigger fences are its forte as it is going from strength to strength, and the extra distance playing into its hand
Main Danger
4 Brucie
F: 6X431B(5)W(65.0)
( J-Billy Marshall )
( T-Raymond Connors )
Whanganui trainers look likely to quinella this, with Raymond Connors having this gelding on an upward spiral. After finishing behind Never Look Back two back, it reversed those placings last time
Next Best
1 Captains Run
F: 12X0LB(4)W(70.0)
( J-Hamish McNeill )
( T-Dan O'Leary )
This trainer has given this one two prep races and now it will be nicely tuned up foe the steeples
Consider
2 Nedwin
F: FX913B(2)W(69.0)
( J-Mathew Gillies )

( J-Emily Farr )

2 Bak de Ace
Dividend : $2.25
Place
F: 374X1B(4)W(58.5)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Jo Rathbone )
Trained in the north for its first four runs, it moved to this good Whanganui trainer's yard during its spell and it has quickly gone on to win its maiden by over 9 lengths. Clearly progressing nicely
Main Danger
10 Valley King
Dividend : $3.20, $1.50
Won
F: 50X73B(10)W(57.0)
( J-Lily Sutherland )
( T-Kevin Myers )
Third up today and Kevin Myers will have this one at its peak for this trip to Riccarton. Could make a Whanganui trained trifecta
Next Best
4 On Shaw
F: 36X17B(2)W(58.5)
( J-Hayley Hassman )
( T-Niall Quinn )
This Whanganui trainer has had a great couple of months, this one being one of his winners. Has seen early support in the market
Consider
5 Taihoro
F: 54215B(12)W(58.5)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Robert Dennis )
Has show good ability in its 10 races to date and, given there's not much depth in this field, it has to be in your reckoning
Longer Odds
8 Proclamation
F: 82730B(7)W(57.5)
( J-Yogesh Atchamah )
( T-Shankar Muniandy )
Has had poor barrier draws in its last four runs but figures better today. Add to that it has a good claiming apprentice taking the reins today, and it comes into play

Place
F: 83621B(9)W(58.5)
( J-Daniel Bothamley )
( T-Shankar Muniandy )
Former northerner that has run well in all three runs in the south and did it nicely when winning at Oamaru two weeks ago. There was solid support for it then and, with improvement, can go back to back
Main Danger
1 Bundy
Dividend : $3.20, $1.55
Won
F: 81X54B(13)W(60.0)
( J-Floor Moerman )
( T-Kevin Myers )
Another Kevin Myers runner and it owns a bit of ability. Has been freshened but trainer will have it ready to go and we note talented Lily Sutherland rides
Next Best
5 The Hares Ears
F: 41226B(10)W(57.5)
( J-Terry Moseley )
( T-Lee Callaway )
Good enough to greet the judge at only its third start and has run two seconds since
Consider
8 Beavertown Lass
F: X8731B(11)W(56.5)
( J-Lily Sutherland )
( T-Adrian Bull )
Hesitant to leave this CD runner out as the trainer has such a good strike rate down here. Last start winner over 2100m
Longer Odds
15 Dujour
F: X5056B(12)W(54.0)
( J-Triston Moodley )
( T-David Medcalfe )
Although not in the money, all its recent runs have resulted in close up finishes and this good apprentice might bring the necessary improvement

3 Wire Rope
Dividend : $7.50, $2.25
Won
F: 6X465B(8)W(59.5)
( J-Toni Davies )
( T-Bill Thurlow )
This trainer loves to come and win at this course and this 5yo could add to his tally. It should be at peak fitness and this race is easier that the field it met last start
Main Danger
1 He's Lucid
Dividend : $1.24
Place
F: 23661B(6)W(60.0)
( J-Lily Sutherland )
( T-Kevin Myers )
Remains in a R75 after a commanding win when resuming at Waverley, but is up 2 1/2kg. Talented Lily rides and it looks sure to be in the finish
Next Best
8 Canasta
F: 83624B(3)W(56.5)
( J-Terry Moseley )
( T-Anna Furlong )
A bit of a disappointment behind Shawshank last start but young trainer has now enlisted the experience of Terry Moseley
Consider
2 Shawshank
F: 40011B(1)W(59.5)
( J-Ashlee Strawbridge )
( T-Samantha Wynne )
Although reasonably new to the training ranks, this former top rider is producing winners and she has brought the best out of this one as a 7yo. Rails draw and on hattrick
Longer Odds
5 Delmonico
F: 45134B(7)W(59.0)
( J-Bruno Queiroz )
( T-Andrew Carston )
Comes off the synthetic for this but note it has won in the Heavy twice before

Race 9 - WINNING EDGE PRESENTATIONS 129TH WINTER CUP (G3)

Top Pick
1 Bradman
Dividend : $3.40
Place
F: 48811B(4)W(59.0)
( J-Jim Chung )
( T-Roydon Bergerson )
Sitting on a hattrick after two superb performances recently, including winning by over 6 lengths at Trentham last time, this 9yo looks well positioned to take out the Winter Cup, from its ideal draw. The concern is that it is yet to win on the course
Main Danger
2 Turn The Ace
F: 8X222B(17)W(56.0)
( J-Liam Kauri )
( T-Suzy Gordon )
Has been a prolific winner of 9 races and certainly good enough to be winning. In form trainer looks to have it at its peak after a good run behind Prioress last time
Next Best
13 Undisputed
F: 11112B(16)W(53.0)
( J-Terry Moseley )
( T-Bruce Tapper )
Has seen a ton of early support as it steps up to its preferred 1600m. Whether that's 'value' now is questionable as this ex northerner has had a rapid rise through the grades since winning its maiden in May, and this clearly is a different level. Wide draw to overcome too
Consider
3 Sir Sterling
F: 21821B(7)W(55.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Robert Dennis )
Beat Undisputed last start to confirm its in good heart and has won over 1600m before. Sam Collett is a good booking
Longer Odds
4 Prioress
Dividend : $6.00
Place
F: 13011B(12)W(54.0)
( J-Lily Sutherland )
( T-Suzy Gordon )

Top Pick
8 Coney Island
Dividend : $2.25
Place
F: 22162B(9)W(56.5)
( J-Bruno Queiroz )
( T-Lisa Latta )
A winner three back and second in a R75 three weeks ago, that Otaki form could be a bit better than the local runners
Main Danger
2 Boomtown Boy
F: X6435B(1)W(59.5)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Adrian Bull )
This trainer doesn't have many going around at any time but does set them up for this meeting. For example, this 7yo has only won 3 times in 42 starts and they've all been on this track. Rails draw
Next Best
7 Flamboyance
F: 87741B(11)W(57.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Trent Yesberg )
This harness trainer does OK with his thoroughbreds and it comes into this as a last start winner. Has won twice in the Heavy
Consider
9 Possess
F: 43X13B(14)W(56.5)
( J-Floor Moerman )
( T-Kevin Myers )
Such is this trainer's ability, and his commitment to travel so much, this one really can't be left out of your reckoning
Longer Odds
13 Proudtobehere
F: 74141B(8)W(54.0)
( J-Toni Davies )
( T-Terry Kennedy )
A winner of two of its last three starts, it certainly offers good EW value. One to follow in the future
