| 9 | | 68721X | Royal Yankee | 9 | Ft | Not seen since winning a 1-win trot in August. Has placed here. Market watch. | |
| 10 |  | 246851 | Superfast Gorsey | 10 | Ft | Chris Thornley | Rattled home for win on Cromwell grass. Looks tested to repeat that here though. |
| 11 |  | 001402 | Granny Rose | 11 | Ft | Jonny Cox | Nice 2nd at Timaru but a bit hit-and-miss on grass. Want right price today. |
| 12 | | 010554 | Torvi | 12 | Ft | Ben Hope | Caught the eye in all three December starts. This grade suits. In the mix. |
| 13 | | 80X207 | Love Walked In | 13 | Ft | Finishing on fairly when she broke at Ashburton. Prefer to see a clean round. | |
| 14 |  | 518745 | Opawa Peak | 14 | Ft | Kyle Cameron | Form has been honest recently, but lean course record is a concern. Multiples. |
| 15 | | X0071P | Diedre Franco | U1 | Ft | Gemma Thornley(J) | West Coast trip showed the best and worst of her. Seeking luck from unruly. |
