Nems Medical Handicap (970m)

Selections:

Paravane – 3.70

Zivou – 4.40

Lady Iris – 5.50

BEST BET – Paravane

The fourth race of the day looks highly competitive, and Paravane will be a popular choice. Representing the Walker and Bergerson yard, she already has two wins from seven starts and has placed on her one and only start here. Connections will be hoping a third win can follow here.

THE DANGER – Zivou

Zivou could be the main danger here. He has raced at a high level in comparison to most in this field which includes a sixth in the Grade 3 Uncle Remus Stakes. Having made only eight starts, this is a far easier assignment, and he could well land a third win.

VALUE BET – Lady Iris

Lady Iris could be lurking on an attractive price. Vastly more experienced than her rivals, she has two wins from her last four runs. She has an exceptional record here, with two wins and two placed efforts from her five starts. There isn’t anything to suggest that she won’t run another big race.

Saddlery Warehouse Maiden (970m)

Selections:

Centurial – 1.90

O’valerie – 5.00

Zac Gary – 11.00

BEST BET – O’valerie

In race three we are taking a chance that O’valerie can upset the odds. Having raced just once, clearly her connections think a lot of her as she was pitched straight into open company. She wasn’t disgraced that day, finishing seventh, and this is far easier. Centurial will be tough to beat, but her chances can’t be ignored.

THE DANGER – Centurial

The obvious danger is likely to be Centurial. Expected to be the short priced favourite, he has two placed efforts from five starts. He represents good connections and is well bred. This should be easier than his last few assignments, but whether he can overcome an 18-week break, remains to be seen.

VALUE BET – Zac Gary

At a price Zac Gary could be a player. A four-runner maiden, he has placed just once but was unlucky not to have got off the mark. That run came on a synthetic surface and a return to the all-weather could see him return to a favourable light. If he can repeat that effort at Awapuni, he will go close.

Tab (BM72) Handicap (1300m)

Selections:

Confectionist – 3.20

Anton – 7.50

King Of The Air – 19.00

BEST BET – Confectionist

Confectionist could be the most popualr play of the day in race 2. Coming into this race having won his last two at the track, he is bidding for a third successive win and sets the standard. He is the one to beat.

THE DANGER – Anton

There are a few dangers and Anton is certainly one of them. A winner of four of his fifteen starts, four of them have come here and conditions will be perfect. Having run a poor start at Awapuni six weeks ago, connections will hope he arrives fresh and ready to give his running.

VALUE BET – King Of The Air

King Of The Air is our long play of the day. A winner on debut, he hasn’t won since but will be hoping that this race can change his fortunes. He has raced in open company and competed for Grade 3 honours. Although he struggled to make a mark at that level, this is easier and he could run a big race eased in grade.
