TAB 1100m
Not a great deal of speed on paper so it may be left to one of the first starters to roll to the front. TAJANA (7) will find this a much easier than her second on debut three weeks ago, beaten half a length at the end of 1200m in the G3 Ford 2YO Classic at this track. Looks the winner in this. MISS ZIGGY (6) was doing her best work late last start to get up for third over 1200m in the LR Karaka Million at this track. Racing well. Class dropper. Quinella and trifecta chance. CURZON PARK (1) ran well in last two runs then got spelled. Drawn out for resumption. Trifecta and first four chance here. LUCY IN THE SKY (9) is a first-starter by Hello Youmzain from Too Many Diamonds who has been a fine producer including winners at Black type level. Dam has left four winning foals with Ruud Not Too (6 wins) the most prolific. Has only trialled once and won at Ellerslie. LOLLAPALOOZA (8) is a two-year-old filly (El Roca - Carnival) on debut. Has been trialled twice for a win (here) and a second. Drawn wide but not out of this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tajana is a win wager. |

HORIZON BY SKYCITY 1200m
Moderate pace only with Butterfield leading Pippy. TOMODACHI (5) won very well when fresh up. Has scored second up before and is proven on both dry and wet footing. This looks to be hers for the taking. GLAMOUR TYCOON (3) won well at her last start. She is up 2.5kg but can cope for sure. Drawn to be a top tier must. DAZZLED (2) was a course winner two starts ago. She is best on rain-affected footing. Trifecta and first four chance here. POUR THE WINE (1) is a multiple class dropper in this. Course winner. Each-way in this line up for certain. PIPPY (4) was a trial second last month. Has won two of three starts when fresh up. Cannot be omitted in this small field at all. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tomodachi and Glamour Tycoon are win wagers. |

EAGLE CHARTERS 2100m
Genuine tempo with Please Sir, Our Time and Grey Area taking up forward positions. TRANZED (3) the 4yo is a class dropper here. His best is well up to this field and he is an each-way chance here even from an awkward draw. STEELY MAN (4) is a course winner. Winning rider atop today. Include him in all of your multiples today. OUR TIME (1) is in good form and he has become very solid of late. First race day start clockwise. Wide draw but he can still cope here. PLEASE SIR (2) has run first or second in five of last six starts. Trifecta and first four chance in this field for sure. ORTEM LEGACY (14) was a useful run fresh up. Winning rider atop. Would prefer decent footing but cannot be overlooked in this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tranzed and Steely Man are win wagers. |

BENTLEYS CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS 1400m
Plenty of pressure primarily from You Say D'orsay, Penman and Grande Gallo. GRANDE GALLO (5) won narrowly fresh up here in this very grade. Has won second up and he can cope being up 2kg in this. CHEVAL D'OR (6) has been twice trialled and won the last one so is very forward to resume. Winning rider is on here. Top tier must in this field. TANGANYIKA (4) is racing well this time in. Drawn wide. Must include no matter the footing on offer. YOU SAY D'ORSAY (3) is a multiple class dropper here. Wide draw in this field. Course proven. Include him everywhere you can. DIMAGGIO (2) has been consistent and is always a place chance or first four hope. Well drawn again and he has won on dry and wet footing too. SUGGESTED PLAY: Grande Gallo and Tanganyika are win wagers. |

EAGLE TECHNOLOGY AVONDALE GUINEAS 2100m
Plenty of speed runners engaged, with Amazing Fluke, Suit Yourself and Ridefromtheashes prominent. WILLYDOIT (1) looks to be getting better and better. First try at 2100m but that does not look to be a problem. Has won three from three on the track. This looks his to lose. BOURBON PROOF (2) has been racing well in his entire career so far. Wide draw in this. Quinella and trifecta must no matter the footing. HINEKAHA (15) is a filly with genuine scope. Proven on dry and wet footing. Each-way in this. KIWI SKYHAWK (5) has raced well in his last three runs in Blacktype events. Ace draw. Chance here second up. THEDOCTOROFLOVE (11) is an Australian-trained raider here. Well drawn in this. Trifecta and first four chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Willydoit is a win wager. Box the quinella as a saver of him, Bourbon Proof and Hinekaha. |

Arby can work over from a wide gate to lead. ABOUT TIME (6) she is racing super of late. Is already a G2 winner. Unbeaten on the track in three runs. Distance proven and can handle dry or wet. There is no weakness with the 4yo mare. INTERPRETATION (1) was not too bad in his last start at G3. Drawn well. Has won clockwise. Top tier chance here. MIDNIGHT BLUE (2) has run good seconds at his last two starts. Drawn well once again and cannot be omitted. TRUST IN YOU (3) is a class riser in this. Wide draw.
