| 4 | 815X48 | Sweet Raine | 4 | Ft | Leo O'Reilly | Showed dash when space came last week. Gets on the front line here. Consider. | |
| 5 | 271731 | Penny Weight | 5 | Ft | Craig Thornley | Wayward but too smart at Reefton. Course stats are a concern in harder grade. | |
| 6 | 404218 | Franco Tim | 6 | Ft | Gemma Thornley(J) | Plain at Motukarara following on from Cromwell form. Prefer to take notes. | |
| 7 | 455773 | Kotare Kelso | 7 | Ft | |||
| 8 | 868792 | Dancing Desire | 8 | Ft | Sam Thornley(J) | Enjoyed R46-49 grade last week & keeps sliding down ratings band. Each way. | |
| 9 | 621847 | Nasana | 9 | Ft | Samantha Ottley | Early burn maybe took its toll last week. Wide draw adds to challenge. First4s. | |
| ---------------------------- Second Line ---------------------------- | |||||||
| 10 | 151342 | Hi Hopes | 10 | Ft | Seth Hill(J) | Nabbed right on the line on Sunday. Needs space from draw but can place. | |
| 11 | X60046 | Renaldo | 11 | Ft | Ricky May | Nothing wrong with his 6th here on Friday. Hoping for run through. Has claims. | |
