\n
Each Way<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Stepped out on debut in a red-hot Addington field and did everything right on debut did Arlo Jones (8). Had shown plenty of ability in trials prior to that run and if that can translate to race day today then even from the wide draw <\/span>he\u2019s<\/span> going to be the one to beat. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

\n

She chased valiantly behind a <\/span>pretty smart<\/span> one a fortnight ago and if <\/span>Rakataycan<\/span> (1) can produce something similar here today then <\/span>you\u2019d<\/span> expect her to be the one to beat. <\/span>Comes up with<\/span> the ace draw which is a huge plus and <\/span>expect<\/span> her to try and make full use of it. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Couple of super runs up at Addington in the last two appearances from Majestic Me (6) and if anything should find today\u2019s assignment a little easier. Most importantly, seems to be doing everything right <\/span>at the moment<\/span> which is of huge advantage. Ticks a lot of boxes for this. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Down from Canterbury for this and coming out of some strong maiden fields, Rogue Wave (3) looks well placed today. Has been finding the line strongly but gets the right chance to take this race by the scruff of the neck and dominate it from the outset. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

A <\/span>really good<\/span> winner two starts back at Methven, El <\/span>Draego<\/span> (5) took on a <\/span>pretty smart<\/span> field at Addington last time out but drops right back in grade here for what looks to be a very winnable race. Even field and with Wilson knowing the horse well should be one of the leading players. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

2 Captain Christina <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Had to cover a little extra ground last week from a wide draw but an inside draw looks much more suitable for Captain Christina (2) today. Has always looked better than a maiden and today <\/span>provides<\/span> a good opportunity to drop that tag with a confident early drive. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

9 Indulge Me <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Really smart filly Indulge Me (9) has a massive target in a couple of weeks but even considering there is likely to be some caution, she should still have no problems in getting the better of this field. <\/span>Has to<\/span> come off the second row, but that might be easier than the outside of the front. Best horse and should show it.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

1 Kings Choice <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

A very good<\/span> late effort at Addington last week from Kings Choice (1) behind Brewster Baker. Found the line with a lot of purpose and looks to be closing in on another win. Nice draw to use here and if able to step well and then hold up and be handy throughout then looks the one to beat. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Nothing wrong with any of the recent runs of <\/span>Rackmacknra<\/span> (8) especially given the quality of the fields <\/span>he\u2019s<\/span> been in. Wide draw here, but that might <\/span>actually suit<\/span> as <\/span>he\u2019s<\/span> a big free-rolling type who should have plenty of room to move and he can out-tough them all here. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

9 Tarragindi <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Superb effort in behind Prestigious on Monday at Ashburton by <\/span>Tarragindi<\/span> (9) and even off the big handicap he should find this challenge a whole lot better. A quick beginning and <\/span>he\u2019ll<\/span> eat up most of the margin and from there work his way into it and be a little too good for his rivals.

Never too far away from the action, Santiago (2) maps beautifully here today. Good draw with the right driver on to have him on the top end of proceedings and if he can be running as they come around the last bend he might just dash away and grab a <\/span>well deserved<\/span> win. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
