Main Danger
4 Cocomora
F: 2363XB(6)W(56.5)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )
( T-Anna Furlong )
Resuming after six months and showed enough in its last campaign to suggest it will be in the money here
Next Best
6 Harlows Pride
Dividend : $5.00
Place
F: 66B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Nayton Mitchell )
Both its runs have been on the synthetic and hasn't been far off the winner. Now third up, should be fit
Consider
1 Hold'em Ransom
Dividend : $3.70, $1.80
Won
F: 9648XB(1)W(58.5)
( J-Amber Riddell )
( T-Sandy Cunningham )
Yet to run a place in 8 starts but this is a weak field, Amber rides, and it has drawn the rails. That needs consideration
Longer Odds
2 Illusionist
F: 05075B(3)W(58.5)
( J-Ashlee Strawbridge )
( T-Brenna Cook )
A 13 start maiden but has gone the odd good race

Won
F: 64XB(1)W(56.0)
( J-Hayley Hassman )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Te Akau send this one south after two trials and will be ready to go. Hayley rides and that's a positive

Dividend : $1.40
Place
F: 0426XB(2)W(58.5)
( J-Yogesh Atchamah )
( T-Sandy Cunningham )
Ran well in the last three starts of its last campaign and now resumes 4 months later, a more mature galloper. Drawn well and has seen good early support
Consider
4 Forseti
F: 06425B(3)W(56.5)
( J-Ashlee Strawbridge )
( T-Ashley Frye )
25 start maiden that just missed two back. This apprentice is riding the crest of a wave right now
Longer Odds
5 Lilybet
F: 607X2B(7)W(56.5)
( J-Kin Kwo )
( T-Gay Robinson )
Second when resuming and will have taken improvement
Ex northerner that strode up and went to the line in a commanding fashion here four weeks ago, her first start in the south. The one to beat on a repeat of that performance
Main Danger
2 Eastandwest
F: 58573B(7)W(59.0)
( J-Jack Taplin )
( T-Michael & Matthew Pitman )
Right in the mix in a five way finish here two weeks ago and with Jack Taplin taking the reins today, we like its chances
Next Best
3 Ayumi
F: X5012B(1)W(57.5)
( J-Ashlee Strawbridge )
( T-David Walsh )
So unlucky to have the photo finish go against it, by the smallest of margins, here last start. With the rails draw, and this in-form apprentice riding again, you've got to think it will be awfully hard to beat
Consider
4 Driftin
F: 606X5B(8)W(57.5)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )
( T-Stephanie Faulkner )
This ex northerner finished fifth on its South Island debut last start, but what that doesn't tell you is that it was less than 3/4 length from the winner. Great first run and improves
Longer Odds
8 Thats Charming
Dividend : $3.30
Place
F: 27735B(5)W(56.5)
( J-Yogesh Atchamah )
( T-Andrew Carston )
Not far behind Overstate last start so the relative odds are generous

Won

( J-Jasmine Fawcett )
( T-John Blackadder )
This former northerner has shown terrific form in its four starts in the south, winning two of them, including its last here two weeks ago. well weighted for a repeat, Jasmine sticks
Main Danger

F: 81653B(2)W(54.0)
( J-Jack Taplin )
( T-Michael & Matthew Pitman )
Despite running at $64 last time, it was only 3/4 length behind Mr Fortrus. The pitman's almost always win a race or two at Riccarton

2 Toa Haka
F: 3411XB(5)W(60.0)
( J-Ashlee Strawbridge )
( T-David Walsh )
Resuming after a spell, having won its last two races in its last campaign. Will want further but likely to sprint well fresh
Consider
1 Tumuch
F: 03212B(4)W(61.0)
( J-Sima Mxothwa )
( T-John & Karen Parsons )
Runner up to Mr Fortrus two weeks ago, connections have recalled their apprentice to bring the 3kg claim today
Longer Odds

Dividend : $3.20
Place
F: X4535B(1)W(54.0)
( J-Hayley Hassman )
( T-John & Karen Parsons )
Another one that finished in behind Mr Fortrus last time, and only 1 1/2 lengths away, so its odds offer some value if you're looking to oppose the favourites. Rails draw
Ex northerner that they couldn't get over the line up there but it has stepped up since arriving in the south, to win two of its last three
Main Danger
7 My Sharona
F: 27215B(8)W(55.5)
( J-Jack Taplin )
( T-Anna Furlong )
This trainer continues her fine run and has a 'live' chance with this 5yo mare. This apprentice won on her two back and is re-united today
Next Best
10 Pax Mundi
F: 06106B(1)W(54.5)
( J-Bridget Grylls )
( T-Terri Rae )
Another ex northerner that was allowed to drop back when beaten last start. With 200m less to run today, it should run strongly to the line. Rails draw

Place
F: 048X6B(3)W(59.0)
( J-Amber Riddell )
( T-John Blackadder )
