Selections: 2-8-4-6
| 2. It’s A Ruse (2) 47031T: Lisa Cole |
7 Adobe Don was an impressive c4 winner at the last straight track meeting & his experience on this surface should see him post his first ever back-to-back victories.
Selections: 7-4-2-5
| 7. Adobe Don (7) 14331T: Marcie Flipp |
7 Jilliby Finale nearly got home at Hatrick. First raceday appearance here but it’s the same for most in this field.

2 Criminal Minds is unbeaten in four starts here although yet to be tested at this level. 7 Star Boy Express returns to his favourite track after showing speed against high quality opposition at Manawatu. 6 My Mini Me wasn’t far off Star Boy at the last meeting here. Quadrella cover.
Selections: 2-7-6-8
| 2. Criminal Minds (2) 15122T: Lisa Cole |
7 Bow Belle Beth led a strong c2 field for a fair way when fourth at Manawatu. Just one win down the straight but has placed in some decent company. Could test the youngsters at odds.

5 Zeus’s Magic won well down the straight on debut. Got awkward into the bend when making ground at Manawatu. 4 More Airflow ran a close third in his only start here & then nearly bombed a form runner at Manawatu. Must include.
