| 9 |  | 323311 | The Bettor Major | 9 | Ft | Matthew Williamson | Won a battle with #3 at Timaru. Pushed wider on the grid here. Multiples. |
| ---------------------------- Second Line ---------------------------- | |||||||
| 10 |  | 220211 | Always On Sale | 10 | Ft | Brent Barclay | Placed nicely for his two wins down south. Tricky draw, but worth a look. |
| 11 | | 047625 | Toby Tom B | 11 | Ft | Blair Orange | Ran on well enough at Motukarara from the same draw. Add to place options. |
| 12 | | 36X136 | Kairaki Delight | 12 | Ft | John Dunn | Run never quite worked out at Methven. Downgrade in draw. Trifectas/First4s. |
| 13 | | 710745 | Kotare Kelso | 13 | Ft | Tim Williams | Made ground late behind Bazooka last week. That franks well. Not the worst. |
