| Book | Form | Name | Draw | Hcp | Driver | Comment | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | | 600089 | Bromac Times | 1 | Ft | Gemma Thornley(J) | Not much went his way over Xmas. May not love #1 draw either. Odds. |
| 2 | | 073425 | Gliding High | 2 | Ft | Mia Holbrough(J) | Only clear late at Addington. Stand start may suit more. Worth considering. |
| 3 | | 050X95 | Waterholes Road | 3 | Ft | Amanda Tomlinson | Working back to full fitness after 2 starts back. Capable of being a contender. |
| 4 | | 030014 | Searing Light | 4 | Ft | Olivia Thornley(J) | Switches to stand start after gate speed recently. Obvious combos bait here. |
| 5 | | 282460 | Rapid Response | 5 | Ft | Samantha Ottley | Couldn't find another gear at Motukarara. This looks a stronger field. First4s. |
| 6 | | 864622 | Santanna Mach | 6 | Ft | Kimberly Butt | Smart recent efforts. Completes the NZ track list today. Can celebrate in style. |
| 7 | | 261808 | Chal Vee Power | 7 | Ft | Riley Harrison(J) | Stable change since Ashburton 8th. Switches to preferred start method. Upset. |
| 8 |  | 335531 | The Highlander | 8 | Ft | Sheree Tomlinson | Too good for R35 rivals 25 Feb. No fear of grass track either. Place prospect. |
| 9 |  | 744091 | Gem N Em | 9 | Ft | Ellie Barron(J) | Kept giving to score 25 Feb & gets an extra run in this grade. Right in this. |
| 10 | | 457852 | Razors Edge | 10 | Ft | Kerryn Tomlinson | Back in form with sharp Rangiora 2nd. Two years since last win though. Combos. |
