NUM TIME COMMENT
1 02:45 MACMILLAN ACCOUNTANTS 1950m
The race pace here looks not too bad in a 1950m event for Maiden class. SANTA CATALINA (7) is a win chance here no matter the footing on offer. She has not gone a bad race this time in and peaks for this. LOOSE CHANGE (1) was prominent through the early and middle stages last time out before fading to finish tenth over 1600m at Ellerslie. Easier here and is course placed. Handles dry and wet ground. Top tier must. URLAR (8) is better than a twice-placed mare. Trifecta and first four must no matter the footing on offer. WRY SMILE (2) is a triple placegetter. Last two runs have been sound. Include him everywhere you can. LINKIN PARK (4) has been not bad in his last four runs. Wide draw. Still a trifecta and first four chance here.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Santa Catalina is a win wager.
2 03:20 ARAWA PARK HOTEL 1230m
The race pace here looks okay in this Maiden event over 1230m. PHOEBE BUFFAY (3) turned in a solid run on debut last start, beaten half a length into third at Pukekohe over 1200m. Can go one or two better here from the ace draw. In-form yard. MR FORTRUS (1) has been not too bad in both runs this time in. On-pacer. Quinella and trifecta chance. MIRIAM (8) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1150m at Te Aroha after being in contention on the corner. Much improved in last two runs. Well drawn. Must include. JABEUR (6) is a four-year-old mare (Swiss Ace - Empress Wu) on debut. Twice trialled for a win last month and a third back in May. Dam has left two single race winning foals. PIXIE (7) is a Shelley Hale-trained four-year-old mare lining up for debut. Four times trialled for a win and a third. Not out of this.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Phoebe Buffay is a win wager.
3 03:56 VANDYKS 1230m
The race pace looks decent here in this Maiden event over 1230m. COGNOSCENTI (4) has been twice trialled and won the last of them. Won a trial very easily last August before his debut. Can win this very easily well drawn. Sure to have extra good backing too. LET'S DANCE (5) ran well in two of his three runs. Wide draw fresh up here. Quinella and trifecta chance. THINK I GOT CHA (1) was not too bad a run fresh up. Wide gate. Trifecta and first four chance in this. SKY DO (2) led up at debut and run over. Improver and a chance if he does not over-race. CHEAHA (6) is a gelding on debut by Alabama Express facing the starter for the first time. Fives times trialled for a win and four seconds (one came here). Stable is in form.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Cognoscenti is a win wager.
4 04:30 NOVARA PARK 1230m
There is good pace and pressure in this 3yo Maiden over 1230m. COLONEL WARDEN (1) raced only once in first campaign, finishing 0.8 lengths behind the winner over 1200m in Stakes class at Riccarton Park then put away again. Good run at debut. Easier here for sure. Twice trialled and won the last of them. One to beat here no doubt. PINKY PIE (3) has not gone a poor race and handles it dry and wet. Quinella and trifecta must here. RHYTHM 'N' SPICE (5) is a class dropper resuming. Wide draw. Trial winner last month. Threat for sure. CLEAR CONSCIENCE (10) is an improver on debut effort. Bred to win races and has trialled well many times. ELEGANT JAZZ (7) is fresh up here. Twice trialled. Placed in a third of her starts.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Colonel Warden is a win wager.
5 05:05 ENTAIN/NZB INSURANCE PEARL SERIES 1560m
There is pace and pressure galore here in this field that has five runners eligible for a bonus. FOSSE (6) is a very speedy sort. Ace gate this time. Riding change today and she is a top tier must for sure. Bonus eligible. BALLISTIC MISS (5) has been not too bad so far in all of her starts. Place and first four chance in this line up without a doubt. Drawn okay once again. Bonus eligible. SOUL QUEEN (1) has been six times placed so certainly knows how to weigh in. Handles dry and wet ground too. Wide draw. Bonus eligible. MISS UNDERSTOOD (4) has drawn out in this field. Handles it dry and wet significantly. Trifecta and first four chance here for certain. Bonus eligible. GILLIAN (2) was a big form reversal here at her last start. Cannot be omitted.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Fosse is a win wager.
6 05:48 CAMPBELL INFRASTRUCTURE 1560m
The race pace looks not too bad for the vast majority of this Maiden event over 1560m. AMAZING FLUKE (7) he has not gone a poor race so far in two starts to date. In a very suitable race here indeed. Win chance in this field for absolute certain as a result. DANCIN IN THE DARK (1) has been placed in two of his last four starts. Dry tracker as a rule. He is a quinella and trifecta must here for sure. CHARLEMAGNE (3) was fair on debut. Improver in this lineup rising to the 1560m. Worth including in all of your multiples. JUST CALL ME JOHNNY (2) he showed a big improvement fresh-up. Can go on with it now too. Include him everywhere you can afford too. PROCHESTER (8) is an improver on fresh up run. Wide gate. Chance.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Amazing Fluke is a win wager.
7 06:23 GREENLIGHT INSURANCE BROKERS 1400m
The race pace looks quite okay here in this 1400m event. MONDAY MELODY (5) is a multiple class dropper resuming in this. Twice trialled and won the last of them. Class act here. Should be winning this on sheer class alone. SUPER WRAITH (2) has won and placed here before. Quinella and trifecta must in this field. BLONDIE (9) was close up at her last start. A 2kg claim in this helps counter a wide gate today. MISS ROCKETTE (12) this is easier here than her last start. Ace gate. Has won third up before. Include the mare everywhere you can. KING OF THE NORTH (4) this is easier here fresh up. Twice trialled. All his form so far has come left-handed. Same yard as the top pick so be very tote wary.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Monday Melody is a win wager.
8 06:58 WAITOMO FUELS 1950m
The race pace here looks not too bad at all in this 1950m event. THE GREEN KEEPER (8) has been course placed here before. Has run well in his last three runs. Win chance here no matter the footing on offer. EVE'S SONG (9) has run well in her last two outings. Top tier must here wide gate and all for sure. STRANGE LOVE (13) was a runner-up in three of four runs this time in. Course placed. Threat on dry and wet footing tellingly. MYLA (3) has not gone a bad race this time in. Easiest field here she has met so far this campaign. Include the mare everywhere in this line up for certain. BECAUSE (2) is a partial class riser on his last start win. Course proven. He cannot be omitted anywhere in this.  SUGGESTED PLAY: The Green Keeper is a win wager.
