| Book | Form | Name | Draw | Hcp | Driver | Comment | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |  | 029046 | My Friend Louie | 1 | Ft | Matthew Williamson | Didn't have any luck late at Oamaru. Likely to get cover again. Combos must. |
| 2 |  | 629X81 | Watching Brief | 2 | Ft | John Morrison | Smart win in R44-47 grade at Oamaru. Lobs into a useful draw. Worth a look. |
| 3 | | 086879 | Dancing Desire | 3 | Ft | Sam Thornley(J) | Got mid-race cover here 28 Feb but lacked punch late. Seeking improvement. |
| 4 | | 334321 | Jena | 4 | Ft | Bob Butt | Led for last mile to clear maidens at Rangiora. Capable of stepping up. Each way |
| 5 | | 055417 | Vincent Reactress | 5 | Ft | ||
| 6 | | 064016 | Foveaux Gambler | 6 | Ft | Sheree Tomlinson | No threat at Oamaru but drops down a ratings band. First4s from this draw. |
| 7 |  | X13107 | Bad Habits | 7 | Ft | Robbie Close | Not far off here 28 Feb & should find this a touch easier. A genuine hope. |
| 8 | | 317X | Nothing But You | 8 | Ft | Blair Orange | Not disgraced in Group 1 2YO in November. Tidy 3rd 06 Mar trials. Danger. |
| 9 | | 859X73 | Ragazzo Major | 9 | Ft | Jonny Cox | Went close after ideal trip 28 Feb. Wider draw means more work. Place hope. |
| ---------------------------- Second Line ---------------------------- | |||||||
| 10 |  | 224418 | Sans Repos | 10 | Ft | Ricky Alfeld | Didn't help his cause early 28 Feb. Best when he can slingshot them. Blowout. |
| 11 | | 667022 | Just Foxin | U1 | Ft | Samantha Ottley | Bold efforts in late February despite contrasting runs. Should be running on. |
