RACE 8 @ 8.52PM - #1 FINAL CHANGEThere’s plenty to like given he’s off the front tape and a good beginner. He’s capable of upsetting the back markers.RACE 8 @ 8.52PM - #4 BETA PREPAREHe’s racing a lot better than his formline reads. He just hasn’t been getting the rub of the green. One to cover in all combinations.RACE 8 @ 8.52PM - #8 LITTLE SPIKEI said last time it’s tough off a big handicap but he proved me wrong. I do think they’ll be running up front so fingers crossed we see h...

RACE 5 @ 6.39PM - #1 AROSEThe way she left the mobile last start, she’ll be right on the pace. She’s worthy of inclusion in all options.RACE 7 @ 7.41PM - #9 THE LAST YARNLuck will need to play it’s part from one on the second rowe. Fingers crossed she can find a gap and be hitting the line.RACE 7 @ 7.41PM - #12 BAILEYS PITCHI has happy with his first up effort given they ran 2.40. It looks a race between the two favourites, but with a good trip he’s a trifecta/first four chance.RACE 9 @ ...

RACE 1 @ 4.46PM - #10 BAILEYS PITCHHe’s had two quiet workouts and I was very happy with his last one. His opening odds of $31 and $6 were far to generous.RACE 6 @ 7.10PM - #9 AROSEI’m expecting she’ll get a nice drag through from one on the second row. With natural improvement, lets hope she can sneak into it.RACE 8 @ 8.08PM - #4 NIGHT MOVESThere was plenty to like about her last start effort. She looks one of the better chances.RACE 9 @ 8.35PM - #6 BETA PREPAREHe was super in the Country...

RACE 1 @ 4.52PM - #7 NIGHT MOVESThe early burn cost her last start. If they go hard I think it’ll suit her, and saved for one run I’m sure she’ll be getting home.RACE 1 @ 4.52PM - #8 THE LAST YARNIt’s a step up from maiden company, coupled with a horror draw over the sprint trip. Fingers crossed she can find some luck.RACE 3 @ 5.54PM - #6 AROSEOff the back to two quiet workouts she’s progressing in the right direction. It’s a big field and a tricky barrier, so if she’s making groun...

RACE 1 @ 5.14PM - #8 THE LAST YARNThe wide barrier makes it a tough ask. Hopefully Zachary Butcher can weave some magic.RACE 5 @ 7.14PM - #1 CRITICAL IMAGEHe returns after a confidence trip to Manawatu. On paper he looks a great each way chance, but $1.70 is to short....

RACE 1 @ 4.58PM - #5 THE LAST YARNShe never got the opportunity to get into the race on night 1. From a front row draw, she should land closer to the pace. Fingers crossed she gets her chance.RACE 5 @ 7.04PM - #9 ROUGH AND READYIt was a tough ask over the sprint trip, but I thought he stuck on well. The extra distance will play into his hands. Stay loyal.RACE 6 @ 7.29PM - #8 CRITICAL IMAGEInitially I was disappointed he didn’t win, but on reflection they never stopped running. It’s a tricky ...

RACE 3 @ 5.01PM - #7 THE LAST YARNUnfortunately she’s landed a wide draw for her debut. Exposed form isn’t overly strong, so with the right run she’s an each way hope.RACE 4 @ 5.27PM - # 5 CRITICAL IMAGEWell you won’t get rich off the price. It’s a significant drop in company so you’d have to have him on top.RACE 7 @ 6.47PM - #8 ROUGH AND READYBoth horse and driver have a great track record. While the handicap makes it tough, the advantage is his key rival starts off the same mark. H...

Manners will be key, but with them, she looks one of the better chances.RACE 3 @ 6.14PM - #7 BUDDY GOODPut a line through his last start given the trip he had and the time they ran. On exposed form he’d have to be a key player....

RACE 3 @ 5.44PM - #10 MIDFREW LANDOHe produced another tidy effort when last on course. A second row draw and a full field will bring a few challengers, but he’s a must include.RACE 5 @ 6.51PM - #8 OPA’S GIRLI’m happy with her steering Cambridge way, however a wide barrier over a sprint, makes it tough. Fingers crossed she finds some luck.RACE 6 @ 7.22PM - #7 BETA PREPARELeader Peter left the field breathless last week. There’s no reason he can’t repeat the dose.RACE 6 @ 7.22PM - #8 LI...

RACE 1 @ 4.59PM - #12 BUDDY GOODHis last start effort was very good, and he’s sure to have derived plenty of benefit from it. While he has a second row draw to overcome, I believe $6.50 is overs.RACE 1 @ 4.59Pm - #13 LULANAThere was plenty to like about last weeks win. Even from the draw she’d have to be one of the leading hopes.RACE 5 @ 6.57PM - #6 SKYS LEGACYOff the back of his win he’s stepped into a very good field. He’ll need a bit of luck to feature.RACE 5 @ 6.57PM - #9 MAKOHis clo...

RACE 1 @ 5.44PM - #10 LULANAManners are key, but if she brings them she’s a leading hope.RACE 5 @ 7.34PM - #7 BETA PREPAREHe’s racing great and gets into a field where he looks a very competitive chance.RACE 5 @ 7.34PM - #9 ROUGH AND READYThe handicap over a sprint trip will make it tough. I’m sure the pace will be on if Barbarossa displays his home track tactics. Look for him to be storming into it late.RACE 6 @ 7.59PM - #2 MIDFREW LANDOHe was nothing short of massive at Manawatu. In a mo...

RACE 4 @ 7.05PM - #11 RAGNAR LOTHBROKIt’s a very even lineup. The horse he follows out flies the gate so he’ll get a good drag through. If he brings his best form he can feature.RACE 6 @ 8.04PM - #10 SKYS LEGACYHe didn’t have a lot of luck at Manawatu so we’re hoping for a change of fortune. Exposed form isn’t strong so he gets his chance. Don’t write him off....

RACE 4 @ 6.31PM - #8 SKYS LEGACYHe had a tough trip and an uncharacteristic gallop on night 1. It’s a field full of form, and he has a tricky draw.

He looks a leading chance....

He’s another who’d have to be each way all day.RACE 7 @ 7.07PM - #5 ROUGH AND READYA 30 metre handicap over the sprint trip will make it tough. Having said that, it’s only a small field.

Race 3 @ 5.56pm - #7 LulanaShe's back on a new campaign following a tidy workout. Her debut effort some five months ago confirmed she has a bit to offer.
