NUM TIME COMMENT
1 11:56 CHRIS GOMMANS & SONS CONTRACTING 2140m
The race pace here in this two-turn event looks okay overall. TOWROPE (1) has been placed in five of her seven starts. Can race back or be ridden close. Top tier must here for sure. VERARDINO (2) has been eight times placed and he has paid a dividend in both her runs here. Senior rider atop. Logical quinella must in this field. DEALORNODEAL (3) five times placed and one of those came here at last start. Place and first four must in this line up. WHOSAID (4) is not out of this at all for your combinations. Trifecta and first four chance here. MISS ROSIE (7) her first placing came here at her last start albeit distant. Ace gate. Not out of this at all for a place again or the first four.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Towrope and Verardino are win wagers.
2 12:31 ROWDEN ELECTRICAL & DL TREE SPECIALISTS LTD 1000m
The race pace here looks not too bad in this Maiden event for 2yo's and upwards over 1000m. SIZZLE (8) she has placed fresh up before. Well drawn in this 1000m dash for the cash. Twice trialled so very ready indeed to resume. Win chance in this for sure. VITTORIO VENETO (1) was a trial winner last month so very ready to resume. He ran okay in his first two starts before flopping. Chance here for sure. CALLADA (3) is a 3yo gelding on debut. Three times trialled for two seconds. Dam has left four winning foals with Greenheart (7 wins) the most prolific. Drawn the ace. Threat for sure. FLIGHT JAZZ (4) well drawn here too. Leader. Will give a sight in this without a doubt. PREEMINENCE (2) flopped fresh up when he had good backing. Can form reverse here.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Sizzle and Callada are win wagers.
3 01:04 MURRAY FREE CONTRACTING LTD 1200m
There is more than one natural leader in this so expect the pace to be on here from the outset in this 1200m event. SHOWBASTIAN COE (2) he has had three runs here for two wins and a placing. Form runner and his speed takes bad luck out of the equation. One of two leaders in the field and looks the logical winner. SWAZI (3) he has had four runs here for a win and three placings. On pacer too. He is a quinella and trifecta must in this field. HEMI RIDAPEST (4) last two runs here have been good. He is a trifecta and first four must in this field. Winning 3kg claimer atop. BEE ENCHANTED (1) all of his wins have come here. Well drawn and cannot be omitted from any of your combinations. COVERMEINSUNSHINE (5) resumes for a new stable now. Has won fresh up. Well drawn.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Showbastian Coe and Swazi are win wagers.
4 01:37 ASHHURST DEER AND DUCK INN 1200m
There is good pace in this small field over 1200m from barrier rise so hard to see many if in fact any breathers are allowed. LINCOLN'S KRUZ (1) he is course proven. Can lead or be ridden cold. Senior rider atop and she has won four races on him. Logical win chance as he will come out running. KANA (2) she has raced well this time in so far. Course winner. Quinella and trifecta must here for sure. LUXURIANT (6) she has had two runs here for a win and placing. Well drawn. Trifecta and first four must for multiples bettors. SWEETJINEEN (5) is fresh up in this. Trial second late in May. Senior rider atop. Her tote quote will be very telling. PENNY ROYAL (3) is a triple winner fresh up. Unbeaten in two runs here. Cannot be left out of any of your multiples.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Lincoln's Kruz and Luxuriant are win wagers.
5 02:12 THE PAVEMASTERS 1400m
The race pace looks okay here in this Maiden 2yo and upwards over 1400m. MRS WEBB (6) after a long spell will be much stronger now for sure. She was well-backed in both her starts over a year ago. Win chance for sure drawn well today. The tote will be very telling indeed. O'DEE (1) is an improving 3yo gelding with a last start placing albeit very a distant one. Has speed. Top tier must in this field. LINCOLN TOWERS (3) is improving with each run this time in. Senior rider atop. He can place or be first four. JAZZ WITH DRAGON (2) gets a senior rider atop here. Place and first four chance at least. RIDE THE TIDE (5) is a triple placegetter. Well drawn. Not out of this for your multiples at all.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Mrs Webb is a win wager.
6 02:50 MANAWATU SHEARING & MANAWATU SPREADERS 1400m
There is good speed and pressure forecast in this 2yo and upwards Maiden field over 1400m. SONNET (3) class riser on her last start very easy win here. She can score again for sure and will be heavily backed too. VEE VEE (2) won her Maiden fresh up here. On pacer and gets a best draw today this time in. Top tier must for multiples bettors. DOUBTFUL SOUND (1) same grade here as his last start win on the track. The 2kg rise here is not an issue at all. Trifecta and first four must in this field. LA BELLA GRANDE (7) has gone one good run so far this time in. Senior rider atop. ROYAL DESTROYER (5) is an improver on his fresh-up run. Senior rider atop. Can pay a dividend or be first four here.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Sonnet is a win wager.
7 03:26 CARTERS ASHHURST-POHANGINA CUP 2140m
The race pace looks solid here for large swathes of this two-turn event over 2140m. PLATINUM SIXTY SIX (1) he has had three runs here for two wins. Premiership leading senior rider atop in this. Win chance for sure in this line-up. SIR MIKKI (2) won well here at his last start. He can handle the 2kg extra in this field against the same grade. Top tier must for your multiples. BOURBON FALLS (6) can improve on his course placing last start. Senior rider atop. Trifecta and first four chance for sure. TRAMORE (7) she has a very good course record. Wide gate. The mare is a trifecta and first four must in this line up. JUST CHARLIE (4) was poor at his last start but ran well prior fresh up. Winning rider atop. Won here Maiden third up.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Platinum Sixty Six and Sir Mikki are win wagers.
8 04:00 ANDREA O'DONNELL PROPERTY BROKERS 1700m
The race pace here looks not too bad in this Maiden event over 1700m to close out the card today. CHAMPAGNE LINDA (5) she has kept improving this time in and is building up nicely to a Maiden victory. Looks a winner in waiting for sure. ALMALANE (1) has placed in his last two runs and one of those came right here. Drawn to be in the quinella or top three again. MIDASWELLBJACK (2) has been twice placed here. One of those came when third up. Pace influence here in this small field. WHISKEY SOUR (6) her only placing came right here. Trial fourth last month. Is not entirely out of this for your combinations. COMMISSION (4) too many here are better for the top three. Fourth money hope in this small field and may well prefer the improved footing here.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Champagne Linda is a win wager.
