| Book | Form | Name | Draw | Hcp | Driver | Comment | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |  | 26X5 | Aspirational Dream | 1 | Ft | John Morrison | Tried hard when resuming last time. Likely to have fans again from this draw. |
| 2 |  | 3230 | Prohibited Bid | 2 | Ft | Blair Orange | Blotted copybook at Ashburton. First go at mobile but should suit. Key threat. |
| 3 |  | 845856 | Imperial Command | 3 | Ft | Peter Davis | Well-tried 3YO who battles OK into placings occasionally. First4s preferred. |
| 4 | | D434 | Massive Merc | 4 | Ft | Alan Clark | Trial winner since only fading late here 17 May. Has more upside than stablemate |
| 5 |  | John Spartan | 5 | Ft | Gavin Smith | Half brother to class trotter. Plenty of merit in last two trials. Keep onside. | |
| 6 |  | 756686 | Kerrally | 6 | Ft | John Dunn | Midfield has been her lot recently. Wide draw no help either. Rough odds. |
| 7 |  | 0 | Demon Hill | 7 | Ft | Ricky May | Error on debut at Timaru. Qualified behind mobile in April. Market your guide. |
| 8 | | Crossed Keys | 8 | Ft | Samantha Ottley | Yet to taste defeat in 3 public runs. Stylish trial win 29 May. Worth a look. | |
| 9 |  | 044632 | Lotus Franco | 9 | Ft | Craig Thornley | Showed gate speed from wide draw last time. No favours here but consider. |
| 10 | | 6X7X60 | Love A Patrick | U1 | Ft | Ross Cameron | Errors in both mobile starts since resuming. Work to do from unruly. |
| 11 |  | 665897 | Dancing Glenis | U2 | Ft | Robert Anderson | Long-time maiden. Only career placings came from mobile. Blowout odds. |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |  | 5 | Sweet Star Of Mine | 1 | Ft | Bob Butt | Far from disgraced on debut & gets a much kinder draw here. EW from #1. |
| 2 |  | 0 | Blazing Tart | 2 | Ft | ||
| 3 |  | 90 | Wavebydesign | 3 | Ft | Gerard O'Reilly | Hasn't troubled the judge in two starts. May lack tactical speed of some here. |

| 5 |  | 6X60 | Millie Lou | 5 | Ft | John Dunn | Just nabbed at Rangiora trials after plain autumn efforts. Can work closer. |
| 6 |  | 854 | That Is Love | 6 | Ft | Carter Dalgety(J) | Improving with each outing & may be able to slot in here. Not the worst. |
| 7 |  | 260 | Sally's Pearl | 7 | Ft | Sheree Tomlinson | Tough ask after mistake at Timaru. Nice on debut here 03 May. Combos spice. |
| 8 |  | 5X3428 | Eyeliner | 8 | Ft | Blair Orange | Lacked space 30 May but has had better draws than this recently. Place best. |
| 9 |  | 6 | Beverley Courtney | 9 | Ft | Robbie Close | Only out late on debut here 30 May. Horror draw tonight. First4s option. |
