| 2 |  | Blu Diamond | 2 | Ft | Ricky May | Has shown enough in w'outs and trials to suggest he can feature from close draw. | |
| 3 |  | Aphibarnrat | 3 | Ft | Robbie Close | Sound 2nd of 3 in latest trial. Draw aids hopes of a cheque on his debut today. | |
| 4 | | Titan | 4 | Ft | Tim Williams | Handled carefully early in latest trial but found line. Rough hope in full field | |
| 5 |  | 3 | Always B Mindful | 5 | Ft | John Morrison | Sure to have gained plenty from his Timaru debut when 3rd. A must on all tickets |
| 6 |  | 9 | Mr Vega | 6 | Ft | Brent Borcoskie | Not competitive on debut and midfield trial since. Long odds likely if starting. |
| 7 |  | 7 | Jimandal | 7 | Ft | James Geddes | Done after early mistake on debut last week. Wider draw may assist; 1st4 spice. |
| 8 |  | 6 | Whata Impact | 8 | Ft | Gerard O'Reilly | Didn't live up to support at Tim. Combos option with that experience behind him. |

| Book | Form | Name | Draw | Hcp | Driver | Comment | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | | 795945 | Midnight Sophia | 1 | Ft | Sheree Tomlinson | Lands the ace today after useful attempts of late. Should be very competitive. |
| 2 |  | 800306 | Lord Mudrick | 2 | Ft | Chris Butt | 3L from winner after finding the pegs at Ash. Likely leader and must be included |
| 3 | | 80X088 | Fear Gogh | 3 | Ft | Blair Orange | Solid Rang run 3rd-up this campaign. Should land a prominent spot early. Roughie |
| 4 | | 40474X | The Beach House | 4 | Ft | Olivia Thornley | First start for 2026 but has won in a fresh state before. Check the market moves |
| 5 |  | 447479 | Ester Lucy | 5 | Ft | John Dunn | Solid 5L 9th when last here. Some speed inside her and needing the right trip. |
| 6 | | 652099 | Hes Santas Excuse | 6 | Ft | Matthew Williamson | Once of many runners here that are likely to go forward and he will require luck |
| 7 |  | 267200 | Art Jordan | 7 | Ft | Carter Dalgety(J) | Never a hope from rough Ash alley after being knocked over at Tim. Value runner. |
| 8 | | 929852 | Motor Mouth | 8 | Ft | Robbie Close | Speedy type from the gate and form good enough to suggest he can feature today. |
| 9 | | 530879 | Santanna Mach | 9 | Ft | Wilson House(J) | Seeking his 26th win today in start 279 but on current form that looks a stretch |
| ---------------------------- Second Line ---------------------------- | |||||||
| 10 |  | 008690 | Carrera Kahu | 10 | Ft | Kyle Cameron | Drawn to need luck from inside 2nd row and not racing well enough to recommend. |
| 11 |  | 00X007 | Captain Publisher | 11 | Ft | Sam Thornley | Appeared to have more to give at Ash. Should receive a run through; upset chance |
