RIVERBOUND DAIRY TROT 2400m
NEW MEXICO (16) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 1.5 metres from the winner in second over 1980m at Addington. Leading hope based on those recent efforts. SECOND THOUGHTS (2) is ready to improve after debuting with a respectable fourth last time out over 1980m at Addington. TASMIN TROUBLE (10) has been steady in her last couple of runs, and she did enough last time out to suggest that she has each-way claims in this. SUGGESTED PLAY: |

STEWART & HOLLAND MOBILE PACE 1700m
LA CONCHA (2) scored at Addington three runs ago but has been unplaced in two subsequent runs, the latest when sixth over 2050m at Phar Lap Raceway, beaten 6 metres. Hard to beat from a superior draw this time. MOUTON CADET (14) is in good form at present. Finished third at his latest appearance over 2400m at Central Southland Raceway, beaten 4.5 metres. Draws out a little on the second line and may need luck at some point. Stepping up a level this time, but on his best form, he is capable of testing his rivals. SOFIA ROSE (1) has drawn perfectly for her, and she is better than her last-start eighth over 2050m at Phar Lap Raceway. OCEAN OF TEARS (11) cops a tough gate, but she has been near enough lately. Each way value. SUGGESTED PLAY: |

MISS CLEINE'S HALF CENTURY CLASSIC 'SILK ROAD' MOBILE TROT 1700m
FLYING DREAMS (9) tailed-off last start at Phar Lap Raceway but had a legitimate excuse. Ready to atone for that in this. Stick with him on top. WANNA PLAY A GAME (13) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when finishing an unlucky third over 2050m at Phar Lap Raceway. Will need an ounce of luck to slot in from this tricky draw. Big chance based on recent form. RIDGE (4) should be at her peak for this. Finished fourth over 2050m at Phar Lap Raceway at the latest appearance a week ago. Sure to give the top fancies plenty to think about. JORDAN ANNE (6) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when fifth at Phar Lap Raceway over 2050m. She is always a top 4 chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: |

LIQUORLAND RACECOURSE ROAD 'SILK ROAD' MOBILE PACE 1700m
CHERISH ME (3) has been most impressive of late, and she made it two in a row when successful at her latest appearance over 2000m at Rangiora, getting home by 4 metres. She has plenty more to offer, and the hat-trick beckons. SEEKING CLARITY (14) turned in a much better run last start when she scored by 3.5 metres over 1980m at Addington. Draws out a little on the second line and may need luck at some point. Has the ability to take this out. ZARLINI (10) is also high on the list of contenders despite a tough draw. Best form measures up favourably in this line-up so just needs a bit of luck to go her way. ADMOR ELLA (1) broke through last time out over 2600m at Addington. She has trialled up nicely since then, and from the draw, she can't be ignored for all combos. SUGGESTED PLAY: |

Placed in a recent trial, and from a good draw, she will be ready to rumble. SUGGESTED PLAY: |

RURAL BUSINESS ACCOUNTANTS 3YO CHAMPION STAKES (MOBILE PACE) 1700m
STUMBLIN IN (3) ran fourth last start at Addington over 1980m, beaten 10 metres. Talented and has plenty of upside. Has the benefit of a good draw. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. FREEZE FRAME (4) has drawn wide in recent runs. Didn't raise backers' hopes last time out when sixth over 1980m at Addington. Has the ability to take this out. B B KING (6) has been hard to fault of late, adding to the winning tally last start with success over 2050m at Phar Lap Raceway. No reason the run cannot continue. SEASIDE CROFT (7) is tough to leave out on the back of two successive wins, most recently at Rangiora two weeks ago. This is tougher, but a hat-trick of wins is not beyond him. SUGGESTED PLAY: |

DICK PRENDERGAST MEMORIAL TROT 2400m
VAL THORENS (2) is back from a break of five-and-a-half months and looks to be right up to the mark following a recent trial win. Ignore the form, and follow the market moves. OUR PINOCCHIO (14) finished ninth last start over 2400m at Central Southland Raceway, beaten 110 metres, after a good second at Ascot Park Raceway the run prior. Meets a comparable field, and he can bounce back straight away. CLOVELLY HILL (7) is close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a second over 2000m at Rangiora. Great chance to break through. MONARCH PRINCE (6) could only finish sixth over 2600m at Phar Lap Raceway after copping a check mid-race most recently. Open to improvement and he is always a top 4 chance with the right run. SUGGESTED PLAY: |

GALLAGHER INSURANCE ASHBURTON WINTER CUP (HCP PACE) 2400m
HALEY JACCKA (10) has been very consistent of late. Scored at her latest appearance over 2700m at Ascot Park Raceway, getting home by 1.4 metres. Meeting a deeper field this time, but she is good enough to score again. CAPTAIN COOL (2) recent form has been very consistent. Scored at his latest appearance over 1980m at Addington, getting home by a neck. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a similar lineup, and he can take this out.

RAKAIA SEED CLEANING FFA MOBILE PACE 1700m
SIDESHOW BRUCE (2) finished second last start over 1980m at Addington, beaten 2.5 metres. Best recent result was a win at Addington three starts ago. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Finds a nice race, and he can turn the tables this time. IRON BRIGADE (1) beat the top pick at Addington two runs ago but couldn't repeat the dose at his latest appearance over 3200m there last time out when finishing fourth in a decent field. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. FRANCO SINATRA (6) is a consistent performer with three top-three finishes on the trot. Only needs things to fall his way, and the good recent form can convert to a well-deserved win. RENEGADE (4) last appeared when finishing out of the money over 2600m at Addington six-and-a-half months ago. He has won a trial, and he has won fresh up in the past. Don't risk him.
