| Book | Form | Name | Draw | Hcp | Driver | Comment | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 9X8576 | Moon Light Terror | 1 | Ft | Alister Kyle | Unplaced in all 19 career starts. Should be safely held, even with the ace draw. | |
| 2 | 3325X3 | Our Twinkle | 2 | Ft | Brent Barclay | Nothing wrong with his fresh 3rd at Winton. Still a maiden though. First4s. | |
| 3 | 158886 | Here Comes Marty | 3 | Ft | Samantha Ottley | Largely midfield since his maiden win in July. Seeking a few lengths to feature. | |
| 4 | 847480 | Here's Johny | 4 | Ft | Tim Williams | Stable change since error at Orari. Well tried at the distance for lean rewards. | |
| 5 | 382X04 | Whyamihere | 5 | Ft | Jim Curtin | Had excuses at Rangiora. Won his only start here back in June. Could shock. | |
| 6 | 146532 | Foliejon Star | 6 | Ft | Sheree Tomlinson | Form building up nicely since clearing maidens. Strong field, but First4 claims. | |
| 7 | 852441 | Fox Terror | 7 | Ft | Blair Orange | Green but good when scoring at Oamaru. Tough field to strike today. Odds. | |
| 8 | 149653 | By Chance | 8 | Ft | John Morrison | 7-length win in moderate workout for new trainer. Has looked adaptable. Place. | |
| 9 | 391705 | Berrettini | 9 | Ft | Robbie Close | Had run to suit 05 Dec but fair late. 3 of 4 runs came at 1980m. Worth a look. | |
| ---------------------------- Second Line ---------------------------- | |||||||
| 10 | 515542 | Greased Lightnin | 10 | Ft | Zachary Butcher | Taken on NZ's best 3YOs in the spring. 3-time winner at 1700m. Right in this. | |

| Book | Form | Name | Draw | Hcp | Driver | Comment | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | P18655 | Our Superfund | 1 | Ft | Ellie Barron(J) | Finding the line well enough in last two. Big rise in grade today if he starts. | |
| 2 | 425390 | Prince Teka | 2 | Ft | Sarah O'Reilly | Form has just dipped recently. 4 wins here but yet to fire over a sprint trip. | |
| 3 | 034880 | Granny Rose | 3 | Ft | |||
| 4 | 262442 | Bevron | 4 | Ft | Matthew Williamson | Kept on trucking for 2nd at Winton. Going well. May slide under the radar. | |

| 6 | 485803 | The Royal Gamble | 6 | Ft | Sam Thornley(J) | Dug in for 3rd at Rangiora. OK course & distance stats without winning. First4s. | |
| 7 | 030600 | Our Pinocchio | 7 | Ft | Brad Williamson | Well down on his best form since October win at Ascot Park. Take on trust. | |
| 8 | 519668 | Brett's Mate | 8 | Ft | Kyle Cameron | Tends to put in a good shift more often than not. OK mobile stats. Combos. | |
| 9 | 140003 | Randel Huston P | 9 | Ft | Blair Orange | Enigmatic type but nearing his best at Orari. Danger if he trots the full 1700m. | |
| ---------------------------- Second Line ---------------------------- | |||||||

| 12 | X01711 | The Present Maker | 12 | Ft | Wilson House(J) | Landed into a great groove recently. Should love the long straight. Key threat. | |
| 13 | 540034 | Maui | 13 | Ft | Lawrence McCormick | Drops back from taking on the country's best. Loves this track. Each way. | |
| 14 | 409017 | Tu Tangata | U1 | Ft | Paul Nairn | Fair at Rangiora after ending long run of outs 28 Nov. Add to combo bets. | |
| 15 | 056391 | Madrik | U2 | Ft | Kirstin Green | Winner at big odds at Wingatui. May have been the lift he needed. Smokey. | |
