RACE 1

ERIK’S GIRL is only modest but she can earn some money in a race of this nature. JACK’S LEGACY makes her debut but would not be a surprise winner on her home track. Her stable companion YOUNG GENERAL did not show much on debut but is likely to be a lot smarter this time. BUFFALO DREAM can improve on a modest debut. IRISH WILMA has some fair form and could fight out the finish.

RACE 2

ME AND YOU showed good improvement in her second start. She can go one place better this time but it is a competitive looking race. EMPRESS OF PEACE has improved with the aid of blinkers and will be a threat. FOREST ACT has only had the two starts so improvement should be forthcoming. REGAL QUEEN is unreliable but could earn some money. TREX ON FIRE has some fair form and could make the frame. UP AND UP has not been reliable but is capable of scoring.

RACE 3

MIDNIGHT SHOW showed improvement with blinkers and the step up in distance. He can go one place better. JIMMY VEGA is improving and should be a real threat yet again. GUS ON THE BUS has only been modest of late but is well drawn and could play a minor role. KOVIL attracted betting support last time out and was not beaten too far so could make the frame with improvement likely.

RACE 4

A very open looking race. DELAWARE RIVER has not been beaten too far in her recent starts and could win a race like this. PEARL IN HER CROWN put up a decent performance last time out but has tended to be unreliable. KORTVANDRAAD is consistent and has every chance of scoring from her good draw. PRETTY ANALIA, BOLD ACTION and CAN’T CATCH ME are all arriving for this race after scoring but they are not reliable types. LAST GINGER and KYLIE’S ANGEL might earn some minor money.

RACE 5

KENSAL GREEN has won three of her last five starts. She gives weight to all her rivals but can score again. FIRE IN HER SOUL is well drawn and could contest the finish. JULIET TANGO is unreliable but would be a threat at best. RUSSIAN NOBILITY should like this distance and can contest the finish. ONETWOBUCKLEMYSHOE needed her last run and should make good improvement. LADY SABRINA is not reliable but can be competitive when in the right mood. OPERA FAN has a place chance on her best form.

RACE 6

Open event. Trainer Erico Verdonese has his yard in good form and both his runners are capable of scoring. DJ JUNIOR is in better form at the moment but include NUCLEAR FORCE in all permutations. DECEPTION PASS is a one-paced chap but has a chance this course and distance. EUPHRATES, STOP THE TRAFFIC and EMERALD CITY are all in good shape and capable of scoring. FULL GO has only been modest of late but might earn some money.

RACE 7

LOST FOR WORDS is clearly talented and has won three of her last four starts. She can score again. HATHIGHWAYTOTHESKY struggled in a better race than this last time out and can bounce back to beat these rivals on the turf this time. SEASON’S GREETINGS and BLIZZARD SNOW might need to do more to win but can earn some minor money. MYSTICAL MISS is consistent but is battling to actually win it. KAVADY has run in some good races of late but is not well drawn.

RACE 8

BRIGITTE ANNE showed what she is capable of with a very easy maiden win. She may well follow up and beat these rivals. PLUMBAGO PARK disappointed on the Polytrack last time out but should be a threat back on the grass. TRIP OF FAITH is well drawn and should be a threat once again. BLINDFIRE seems better than her last run and has a place chance. SAKURA HANAMI is unreliable but is also not out of it. WINTER IN AUCKLAND ran last Thursday and that run will need to be looked at. CLOUDS CLEARING has a place chance when in the right mood.
