NUM TIME COMMENT
1 12:57 BJW MOTORS 1400m
The race pace in this opening Maiden over 1400m is nothing out of the ordinary. NADHEEMA (4) is a winner in waiting and drawn the ace here. Just beaten at last start. Looks the one here. FULL HOUSE (5) ran well in first two starts. Possible leader here fresh up and is a big chance. MIDASWELLBJACK (1) triple placegetter. One of them came when fresh up. Trial winner last month. CHELSEA ROSE (6) is facing the starter for the first time. By Sweynesse and hails from the Lisa Latta stable. Twice trialled for one third. Dam has left two single race winning foals. Rider booking is a key. GEE FORCE (2) is a 3yo gelding on debut. Three times trialled for one third albeit when in another yard. This is his first run for a new stable having been tried in two yards prior.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Nadheema and Full House are win wagers.
2 01:31 MARK DUNCAN LIVESTOCK 2140m
The race pace looks to be nothing of note here in this two-turn Maiden event. TIKEMYSON (2) is drawn well once again and looks the winner here after last start placing at first run for a new yard. Sure to be heavily backed too in this. ZEBADAYA (1) has been placed four times. Last start second was his first placing for a new yard. Better footing suits. ON ALERT (7) has gone the odd reasonable race so far. This is a weak field bar the top two chances so a place or the first four is possible. UNCLE ARCH (6) ran well on debut when beaten a nose. First run over ground. Chance. CAME SAW CONQUERED (3) won a trial before his second start when running for a new yard. Bred to be showing a lot more.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Tikemyson and Zebadaya are win wagers.
3 02:05 MARTIN COLLINS NEW ZEALAND 2140m
The race pace in this two-turn event is a largely out of form field and looks to be nothing too taxing. JUSTASKPERCY (1) is better than he showed last start and he had some backing too. Has had three runs here for two wins so picks himself on top here for sure. BAHIA EMERALD (7) has been not bad at all in last three runs this time in. Course placed. Each-way in this field without a doubt. TRAMORE (6) is an each-way chance here. Course proven. Ticks several key betting boxes for bettors. FOURTY EIGHT (3) he has had two runs here and won them both so goes in all of your combinations. Easier field here than last start too. HUNGRY (8) is a dry tracker so will be suited by the Synthetic surface here. Strikes a weak field. Not the worst.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Justaskpercy and Fourty Eight are win wagers.
4 02:40 INTOWIN.CO.NZ JOIN A SYNDICATE 1000m
The race pace looks quite okay here in this 1000m dash for the cash. BEEBEEP (2) is a multiple class dropper. Course proven. Winning 1kg rider atop. She ticks all the key betting boxes here you want. She is a Group 3 placegetter. IDYLLIC (4) she too is a multiple class dropper. Has won on dry and wet. A key fact is she won the last time she drew the ace. LINCOLN'S KRUZ (1) is a class dropper here. Senior rider atop and she has won three times on him. Must include. KANA (5) is course proven. She has won fresh up too. Suited here and gets a senior rider on most importantly. BEE ENCHANTED (6) has had three runs here and won them all. Clearly loves the Synthetic. Include on her course record alone.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Beebeep and Idyllic are win wagers.
5 03:15 RICHARD SIMPSON CONTRACTING 1000m
There is good pace here in this 1000m dash so hard to see any breathers being allowed. DRIFTIN (6) she won fresh up last campaign. Trial winner last month so is very ready to resume. She can claim down to 54kg here too so ticks betting boxes galore. DISCOVERY BAY (1) is very consistent and rarely runs a bad race. Wide draw but he can cope. Include everywhere here. SEAMSEW (2) won his Maiden fresh up on the Synthetic at Cambridge. Easier field here than his last three runs. Definite chance. SHOWBASTIAN COE (7) showed good improvement at his last start. Has placed when third up. Cannot be omitted in this field. ALFRISTON (4) is proven fresh up. Ace gate. Easier field here than last three runs. He is a threat for sure so keep an eye on the tote.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Driftin and Seamsew are win wagers.
6 03:50 HR JONES & CO LTD 1400m
There looks to be good pace and pressure in this field over 1400m despite all the scratchings. FONSI (2) has been racing well of late. On pacer. Led and won his Maiden at 1400m. Can handle a wide gate here. HEMI RIDAPEST (4) has run not too badly this time in at all. The 3kg claimer atop once more suits. He is a must include in all of your combinations today. MEDIA MISS (10) gets a winning rider atop here. Still has a wide draw despite all the scratchings but she can still cope. She is good enough on her day to win this. MAN EXPRESS (8) was a poor effort fresh up. Winning senior rider on this time and drawn well. OPAWA JACK (1) is a multiple class dropper. Up 5.5kg but can cope. Be very wary.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Hemi Ridapest is a win wager.
7 04:23 ENTAIN - NZB INSURANCE PEARL SERIES RACE 1200m
There is good pace and some pressure in this Maiden fillies and mares only event that has three runners eligible for a bonus should they win. HEAD FIRST (3) has been much improved this time in and is a winner in waiting. Ace gate. No excuses here. HASBULLA (1) is super consistent and handles it dry and wet. Senior rider atop. Big chance. GOOD CRAIC (2) has been twice placed. Won a trial on the Synthetic before debut. Threat. Bonus eligible. HEALTHY REGARDS (6) is a three-year-old filly lining up for first race start. Impressive recent trial winner. Dam has left six winning foals with Gasworx (6 wins) the most prolific. Bonus eligible. DOLLYBIRD (8) is a three-year-old filly on debut. Finished a distant second in a trial at Foxton April 2. Not out of this at all. Dam has left Per Capita (1 win). Bonus eligible.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Head First and Hasbulla are win wagers.
