|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | | 51223 | Shakira | 1 | Ft | Ricky May | Bold 3rd off 2nd row last week. Filly with top-line speed. Drawn to go close. |
| 2 | | 712653 | Commander Joe | 2 | Ft | Kimberly Butt | Never gave it away 09 Aug & form has been franked. Adds to the puzzle. |
| 3 | | 0X61P1 | Take The Deal | 3 | Ft | Ross Houghton | Did it stylishly in front at Ashburton. No luck at Rangiora. Don't disregard. |
| 4 | | 65166X | Action Major | 4 | Ft | Craig Thornley | Close up 5th in good 04 Sep trial. Two-time winner here. Upset prospect. |
| 5 | | 100X15 | Edge Of Reason | 5 | Ft | Blair Orange | Had his chance in the trail last week. No harder here. Can fill a combos spot. |
| 6 |  | 342212 | Piccadilly Pete | 6 | Ft | John Dunn | Chased well behind Miki's Courage last week. In good touch. Each way claims. |
| 7 |  | 75X321 | Mighty Flying Lou | 7 | Ft | Gerard O'Reilly | 2nd to #1 at Methven trials & that form should measure up. A leading contender. |
| 8 | | 601560 | Molly Belwin | 8 | Ft | Terry Chmiel | Couldn't go on after early work 06 Sep. Form is mixed this time in. Combos. |
| 9 | | 522X71 | Double Jeopardy | 9 | Ft | Tim Williams | Unwound to knock off a R47-51 field 30 Aug. Wide draw but can repeat dose. |
