| 2 | | 664543 | Anytime At All | 2 | Ft | Blair Orange | Looking more convincing than stablemate $1 for now. Top 3/4 prospect in this. |
| 3 |  | 549702 | Stubing | 3 | Ft | Carter Dalgety(J) | Useful at Ashburton & sneaks in a few spots closer. First4s with right trip. |
| 4 |  | 543989 | Hugo | 4 | Ft | Robbie Close | Proved a handful at Rangiora. Well back at trials on Tuesday. Upset claims. |
| 5 |  | 547333 | Off The Edge | 5 | Ft | Jonny Cox | Proving consistent & is a 5-time winner here. Could be over the odds today. |

| 3 | | 322211 | Holly Highlander | 2 | 10 | Sam Thornley | Brings good regional form back to HQ. Not ideal set-up here. Trifectas option. |
| 4 |  | 125492 | Wanna Play A Game | 3 | 10 | Samantha Ottley | Kept trucking for 2nd here 20 Mar. Yet to win in 9 goes here but can fix that. |
| 5 | | 632079 | Aveross Majesty | 4 | 10 | Mia Holbrough(J) | Fair attempts across the South Island recently. Win or bust course stats. Odds. |
| 6 | | 746355 | Tu Tangata | 5 | 10 | Paul Nairn | Often seen running on, but may settle slightly closer here. Trifectas must. |
| 7 | | 081231 | Didn't Di | 6 | 10 | Robbie Close | Starting to figure it out after being well placed. Stiff test, but don't ignore. |
| 8 |  | 451002 | Harriet's Moment | U1 | 10 | Ricky May | Never gave up at Winton. Not bombproof yet, but can improve her course stats. |
| 9 |  | 925112 | Prestigious | 1 | 20 | Kimberly Butt | Looks a trotter with promise & was very big here last week. Stick with him. |
| 10 | | 111206 | Petite Trixton | 2 | 20 | Sarah O'Reilly | Got back behind #9 here 20 Mar but kept trying. Can feature with right run. |
| 11 |  | 772145 | Miles Away | 3 | 20 | Matthew Williamson | Cheeky 4th here 20 Mar. Just fair at Rangiora. Looking for right price tonight. |
| 12 | | 081D11 | Tetrick(AUS) | U1 | 20 | Carter Dalgety(J) | Starting to develop impressively. Still has some tricks, but worth a close look. |
| 13 |  | 030113 | Makaku | U1 | 30 | Ben Hope | Staunch 3rd here 20 Mar & seems to have a solid motor. A contender again. |
| 14 | | 354111 | One Over Da Line | 1 | 40 | John Dunn | Manners one of his best attributes, but 40m is quite a test. Add to Top 3 though |
| 15 |  | X18111 | Ah Dinnae Ken | U1 | 40 | Craig Ferguson | Got the job done just over #9 last week. Drops back to 40m mark though. Place. |

| Book | Form | Name | Draw | Hcp | Driver | Comment | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |  | 201212 | Typhoon Tere | 1 | Ft | Carter Dalgety(J) | Plenty to like about recent grass form. This is quite a step up though. Top 3/4. |
| 2 | | X71231 | Bettor Go Vinnie | 2 | Ft | Tim Williams | Time has been his friend with strong 2026 form. Can land handy & feature. |
| 3 | | 132693 | Topaz | 3 | Ft | Chased well in similar field at Rangiora. Needs a scratching but could stun. | |
| 4 | | 653111 | Prosperity | 4 | Ft | Robbie Close | On a real tear on the grass surfaces in March. On course debut. Each way. |
| 5 |  | 334120 | Jazzys Upstart | 5 | Ft | Sarah O'Reilly | Outgunned here 20 Mar despite great run through from 2nd row. Passing. |
| 6 | | 118009 | Showcase | 6 | Ft | Craig Thornley | Couldn't go on after soft trip in transit last week. Requires improvement. |
| 7 | | 533614 | Zarlini | 7 | Ft | Ben Hope | Backed up 20 Mar win with handy 4th last week too. Capable of featuring. |
| 8 |  | 367123 | Destiny's Dream | 8 | Ft | John Morrison | Giving a good sight through March. Fair course stats though. Trifectas preferred |
| 9 | | 108515 | Quinn | 9 | Ft | Matthew Williamson | Solid in last three outings but hasn't fired over 2600m yet. Want right price. |
| ---------------------------- Second Line ---------------------------- | |||||||
| 10 | | 892232 | The Coalman | 10 | Ft | Samantha Ottley | Proving quite consistent & track/distance stats have merit. EW with gaps. |
| 11 | | 777915 | Times Are A Changin | 11 | Ft | Anthony Butt | In good form on the grass circuit, but brings very lean course stats to this. |
| 12 |  | 124313 | John Stewart | 12 | Ft | Blair Orange | Racing in fine fettle, although gate speed is negated here. Keep onside though. |
| 13 |  | 331078 | Lonnekers | 13 | Ft | Ross Cameron | Doing his best work late last week. Needs drag into it, but certainly a hope. |
| 14 |  | 341181 | Lavra Rose | 14 | Ft | Sheree Tomlinson | Great win ratio after 5 starts. Even better from a mobile too. Adds to puzzle. |
| 15 | | 114101 | Bruntwood Brigade | 15 | Ft | John Dunn | Got home in harder grade 20 Mar but negative swing in draws. Place prospect. |
