Race 1
SCARLEO has finished second in his last two starts over shorter trips and steps up to seven furlongs today. He should turn in another solid performance here. ATTUNED has consistent formlines over lesser ground to his name and may be looking for this greater test of stamina. THE FIRST RING finished fourth on debut over six furlongs. He would have come on with that run and from his handy draw, he should be involved in the finish today. PINK PATINA is a 3yr old filly taking on the boys, but she showed improvement in her second outing when stepping up to seven furlongs and should give the males a good run for their money.

Race 2
ROCKETING TO WIN showed marked improvement last time out over this trip and if he can reproduce that effort he should be respected here. He likes to race handy in his races which he is likely to repeat starting from gate four. MANILA THRILLER is a 3yr old filly who returns from a 18-week break. She takes on males here, but she has consistent form to her credit and from a good draw, she should ensure that the boys know that they have been in a race. FARAGE has put in two solid runs over five furlongs and although he has the widest draw of them all, he should be picking off the frontrunners in the run down to the line. STANDFORTHE ANTHEM returns from a lengthy 41-week break, but he has had the benefit of two barrier trials, winning the latest. He too has a wide draw to negotiate, but he should be doing his best work late.

Race 3
ALDASHA has his first run after a 24-week rest and has a wide draw to contend with, but he won well over this trip before the break and if not in too much need of the run, he should be a big factor here. SPECIAL PRIVILEGE won over this trip on debut. He was friendless in the betting market that day and he may turn out to be a better horse at the race track than at home. LEGISLATION showed good improvement last time out over five furlongs and if he has continued along that same path, he should be considered in this line-up. WILLANGIE followed up his penultimate victory over this distance with an encouraging next effort over the same trip. He does have a wide draw, but possesses the early gate speed to move across without using up too much energy. 

Race 4
CAMP RIFLE was narrowly defeated last time out over a mile and was not too far back in his previous two starts over seven furlongs. He must be one of the leading contenders here. WAIHEKE returns from an 18-week rest. He did not seem to see out the ten furlongs of his last outing and should appreciate the drop back in trip. BOYS DAY OUT’S last effort over a mile was solid and from his handy draw, he should be right up there in the mix. TRESSE D’OR has his first run for 19 weeks. He won his penultimate start over a mile and was then not too far behind the winner in his next outing over 1300M, suggesting that the seven furlongs will be to his liking. 

Race 5
With the scratching of two of the leading contenders in the race, the contest has been split wide open. The tentative first choice goes to KIMMYLEE who is a 3yr old filly taking on the boys and who returns from a 18-week rest. She had consistent form before the break and was beaten a short head in her last start over seven furlongs. She has had the benefit of two barrier trials to confirm her well-being. MORALIST steps up to six furlongs after finishing ninth, but just two lengths behind the winner last time out over 1100M. BOORADLEY put six lengths between himself and the rest of the field last time out over five furlongs. He has a wide draw to beat, but he shows early speed in his races which that should negate this fact. ACTON SHALE put up a solid effort last time out over this trip and should be considered for all bets.

Race 6
Another open contest here and a certain amount of caution is suggested. ONYA MARKS is a 4yr old filly taking on males, but she has not been far behind the action in her last three runs. From pole position, she is sure to make her presence felt in this field. BALLISTA is a 6yr old mare who showed consistent form before taking a 12-week rest. If not in need of the outing, she should be right up there in the dash down to the finishing post. SAFE LANDING likes to race up with the pace in his races and is sure to enjoy the drop in distance after finishing 3.2L behind the winner last time out over six furlongs. LOGAN RIVER is drawn wide, but if he is able to repeat his penultimate effort when a half length behind the winner over this trip, he should be involved in the finish here.

Race 7
WREN’S DAY showed up well when trying the 2100M last time out and is sure to have learnt from the experience. He should enjoy the drop in distance. LORD TROPICANA had put up a solid penultimate run over 2300M before winning his maiden race over the same distance with front-running tactics. He should put in another honest effort here, despite dropping in distance. THE FRINGE is a 3yr old filly taking on the boys, but she has only had the one outing where she finished 2.5L behind the winner. She takes a big hike in trip, but if suited to the extra, she should not be lightly dismissed. ECHO LAD was a little disappointing last time out over 2300M, but he could make his presence felt in this line-up, despite jumping from a wide draw.
