Rheinhardt to take charge ahead of Out Of The Picture at a strong tempo. THE BLUE DIAMOND (9) gave a good sight in front at Wingatui last time out, and was reported to have raced greenly throughout the running that day. She is edging closer to her first win, and from a handy gate, she can get the job done today. EASTERLY (1) has been a slow-maturing gelding who has looked a lot stronger this year, and his last start for third at Riverton was full of merit. He has a superior gate for his peak run, and he won't have to improve by much to win a race like this. TEDDY BAKER (4) will be resuming from a long spell, and he is also making his South Island debut. His trial form in the North Island was good, and he won't be long in breaking through for a win. Check the market moves. JUST HENRI (8) is a lightly tried 9YO mare who is having her best prep yet, following on from a fresh third at Riverton with a game second there 15 days ago. She can go one better here. RHEINHARDT (2) was third on debut at Riverton, and will improve further from that run. Each way. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Blue Diamond can win, but 1,2,4,8 are also top 4 chances.
