|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |  | 6X6538 | Xcite Me | 1 | Ft | Josh Dickie | Held up after an early break put here in the rear last week. Minor's from the 1. |
| 2 |  | 6X9582 | Sea Of Love | 2 | Ft | Benjamin Butcher | Big run to grab 2nd boosting the quin a week ago. Better drawn and offers value. |
| 3 |  | X42425 | Savarna | 3 | Ft | Rhys Fensom | Game on 1st day at Hawera then attacked in front 2 days later. Combo's prospect |
| 4 |  | 223 | Pandora | 4 | Ft | Tony Cameron | Another strong run earned her a 3rd placing from 3 starts, 9 Feb. Major player. |
| 5 |  | 8X0734 | Bev The Goat | 5 | Ft | Todd Macfarlane | Will seek to use gate speed to secure a pegs run again after two minor placings |
| 6 |  | 64 | Franco Santana | 6 | Ft | Tony Herlihy | Can't buy a draw but has done a good job in both starts without luck. Keep safe. |
| 7 |  | 2265X | Aye Aye Captain | 7 | Ft | Brent Mangos | Did nothing wrong in 4 starts last campaign. W'out 2nd, 31 Jan. but draw hurts. |
| 8 |  | 77X365 | Beta Prepare | 8 | Ft | David Butcher | Did some work and fought on for his 5th. Tough swing in marbles and needing luck |
| ---------------------------- Second Line ---------------------------- | |||||||
| 9 |  | 3633 | Tenacious D | 9 | Ft | Logan Hollis | Gutsy effort for 3rd, 9 Feb, his 3rd in 4 starts. Seeking gaps but in minors mix |
| 10 |  | 43X7 | Bigger The Bettor | 10 | Ft | Peter Ferguson | Never a hope resuming here 7 days ago from a wide marble. Improvement needed. |
| 11 |  | 224422 | Dom Toretto | 11 | Ft | Todd Mitchell | Huge runs at Hawera without getting it done. Can improve course stats; must have |
| 12 |  | 624426 | Classic Gold | 12 | Ft | Zachary Butcher | Bold at Camb. but well beaten after being unable to cross a week ago. Stretched. |
| 13 |  | 322 | Shake A Leg | 13 | Ft | Matthew White | Awfully close to quitting maidens last week but must overcome 2nd row here. E/W. |

| 2 |  | 977838 | Clouding Over | 2 | Ft | Jim Cole | Nice 3rd 2 back here but lacked zip a week ago. Capable of adding combo's spice |
| 3 | | 536445 | Luka Doncic | 3 | Ft | Dylan Ferguson | Battled away when well-beaten in 5th, 9 Feb. Tries hard but looks held tonight. |
| 4 | | 581222 | Hampton | 4 | Ft | Peter Ferguson | In terrific form and from a similar marble tonight looks nice place bait again. |
| 5 |  | 3X9246 | McKendrick | 5 | Ft | John Dunn | Never a danger after early check from tricky draw last week. Good prior; minor's |
| 6 |  | 817568 | My Copy | 6 | Ft | Zachary Butcher | Just battled from a near-enough trip last week after an unlucky run. 1st4 fringe |
| 7 | | 417085 | Nelson's Boy | 7 | Ft | Crystal Hackett(J) | Broke from the ace last week and found line strongly. Look for him late tonight. |
| 8 |  | 651121 | Sharkies Girl | 8 | Ft | Stephanie Burley(J) | Made it 3 from last 4 when untested at Camb. Bright hope to overcome widest draw |

| 2 | | 221633 | Throwyaarmsaroundme | 2 | Ft | Tony Herlihy | Has been gutsy landing 3rd's in last couple. Drawn ideally to bag another here. |
| 3 |  | 152215 | Treacherous Baby | 3 | Ft | Natalie Rasmussen | Stuck to task over 1700m last week copping a parked trip. Right in the fight. |
| 4 |  | 1321 | Duchess Megxit | 4 | Ft | Zachary Butcher | Promising filly who was too strong for #3 in last outing at HQ. Hard to contain. |
| 5 |  | 1462X3 | Whooshka | 5 | Ft | David Butcher | Very good resuming at Hawera but this is a different kettle of fish. Needs luck |
| 6 |  | 121035 | D J Rock | 6 | Ft | Josh Dickie | Tidy enough at Camb. but meets some tidy types here and uncomfortably drawn. |
| 7 | | 31X13 | Christopher Dance | 7 | Ft | Logan Hollis | Stylish resumption then game run 4 weeks later at Camb. One of the major hopes. |
| 8 | | 162211 | We Walk By Faith | 8 | Ft | Mark Purdon | First look here after Group 1 victory back on 10 Dec at Add. Rates despite draw. |
| ---------------------------- Second Line ---------------------------- | |||||||

| 3 |  | 762653 | Sans Au Revoir | 3 | Ft | Scott Phelan | Another tidy effort when 3rd behind stable-mate a week ago. This looks a stretch |
| 4 |  | 217351 | Saninarmbro | 4 | Ft | Roydon Downey | Capitalised on a cushy trip to deny #1 last week. Place roughie off front tape. |
| 5 | | 532112 | Faith In Manchester | 5 | Ft | Crystal Hackett(J) | Denied hat-trick but lost no admirers, 9 Feb. Can make it hard for back-markers. |

| 9 |  | 5X5504 | Con Grazia Love | 1 | 10 | Maurice McKendry | Camb. 4th was good after early break, 29 Jan. Capable of adding spice to exotics |

| 11 | | 111163 | Sunnys Sister | U1 | 25 | John Dunn | Bold 3rd over 2200m last week and looks the mare to beat here over longer trip. |
| 12 | | L13118 | Sacred Mountain | U1 | 35 | Nicky Chilcott | Never close from 40m behind at Camb. Big win prior here and can push very hard. |
