1 | 1X6897 | Four Wise Women | 1 | Ft | Tim Williams | Unlucky here 25 Oct but had her chance at Kaikoura. Talented though. EW. | |
2 | 324101 | Sheza Gift | 2 | Ft | Nathan Williamson | Very gritty win on Tuesday & faces some of those here. Can go on with it. | |
3 | X08907 | El Conqueror | 3 | Ft | Colin DeFilippi | Just a run on Tuesday after soft run in transit. Requires a confidence boost. | |
4 | 722032 | Masterly | 4 | Ft | Matthew White | Sharp sprint up the lane on Tuesday. Can land handy & repeat those tactics. | |
5 | 276110 | Samanthas Moon | 5 | Ft | Kirstin Green | Slow away & broke on Tuesday. Runaway leader & winner down south. Combos. | |
6 | 062340 | Helloveamoment | 6 | Ft | Blair Orange | Forgettable Cup Day outing with multiple errors. Good prior but risky option. | |
7 | 343430 | Gold Bullion | 7 | Ft | Bob Butt | Never quite happy in her gait on Tuesday. Better than that. Can bounce back. | |
8 | 7X7040 | Franco Josiah | U1 | Ft | Craig Thornley | Lacking his requisite sprint at the moment. Can't afford a slow getaway. Odds. | |
9 | 4X4182 | Aroha Kenny | 1 | 10 | Ricky May | Stoic 2nd off 40m at Wyndham & has good course record. Not out of this. | |
10 | 111794 | Rush | 2 | 10 | Samantha Ottley | Hinted at return to form with slashing 4th on Tuesday. Combos must off 10m. | |
11 | 063518 | Cormoran Strike | 3 | 10 | Robbie Close | Midfield here on Tuesday after quiet trip. Solid efforts prior. First4s hope. | |
12 | 322X21 | Julie Jaccka | 4 | 10 | Brent Barclay | Perfect manners on Tuesday to score. Back on a handicap here but can place. | |
13 | 9460X8 | Nazareth | U1 | 10 | John Dunn | Don't underplay his fresh 8th on Tuesday. Former Derby winner. Upset claims. | |
14 | 0X2440 | I Dream Of Jeannie | 1 | 20 | Sam Thornley(J) | Didn't fire in the Dominion, but a noticeable drop in grade here. Don't ignore. | |
15 | 790280 | Jimmy Carter | 2 | 20 | John Morrison | Got the mobile start wrong at Ashburton. Loves it here though. Top3/4 chance. | |

2 | X15143 | Republican Party | 2 | Ft | Carter Dalgety(J) | Massive 3rd in the Cup & chances to dictate from this draw. A key player. | |
3 | 3657X4 | The Falcon | 3 | Ft | Cameron Hart | Swallowed up after leading in Junior FFA. Likely to press forward again. Place. | |
4 | 047X00 | Kango | 4 | Ft | David Butcher | Tough trip in Kaikoura Cup. Bypassed Tuesday but needs a few lengths here. | |
5 | 215860 | Catch A Wave | 5 | Ft | Kate Gath | Covered plenty of territory on Cup Day. Winner of 23 from the mobile. Consider. | |
6 | 42X542 | Ohoka Connor | 6 | Ft | |||
7 | 4X2114 | Merlin | 7 | Ft | Zachary Butcher | Peaked on his run in the Cup. Won the Derby at this trip last year. Each way. | |

12 | X07602 | Mossdale Ben | 12 | Ft | Ben Hope | Impressive along the markers at Kaikoura. Awkward alley here though. Odds. | |
13 | X00799 | Beach Ball | 13 | Ft | |||
14 | 23X238 | Franco Marek | 14 | Ft | John Morrison | Midfield finish in the Cup a good effort. Yet to win from a mobile. Juicy odds. | |
15 | 442110 | Aroda | 15 | Ft | Trista Dixon | Stand start in Cup wasn't ideal for him. Neither is this draw. First4 fringes. | |
