RACE 1 - 1200m MAIDEN

NO LOVE LOST / MANORBIER / PINKY PIE

Bit of a battle between the top two in the market with Manning v Roydon Bergerson and we favour the RIBCHESTER filly NO LOVE LOST, but only slightly with Jim Chung aboard. The filly has experience having finished 3rd on a Soft 5 in May and should be good to go with a month between runs

RACE 2 - 1200m MAIDEN

BRUTIFUL LASS / AFFAIRE D'AMOUR / STAR DONNA

George Rooke gets aboard BRUTIFUL LASS again after finishing 2nd on the BRUTAL filly at Otaki last start and surely today will be the day for the Latta-trained horse. With a number of runs now behind her, we expect a positve steer from this draw and the filly to break her maiden at Waverley

RACE 3 - 1400m MAIDEN

ENA SHARPLES / STANLEY GEORGE / KEATING

The grey mare ENA SHARPLES finished 2nd at Woodville fresh up and has run into some pretty sharp maideners who have gone on with it. Really trusting Allan Sharrock to have the CONTRIBUTER mare bang on with Kelly Myers in the saddle.

RACE 4 - 1400m F&M BM65

SHE'S A BOSS / JUNGLE JANE / ROSESRRED

The Hillis/Cole team are fairly confident SHE'S A BOSS can score a second victory after finishing 2nd at Avondale over 1200m following a freshen up and should strip much sharper for the run. Rooke sticks which is a positive indicator and the filly only goes well

RACE 5 - 2200m MAIDEN

EARLY TIMES / SATOMI / JIM DANDY

Tricky maiden contest with the top two looking to fight out the finish. EARLY TIMES competed in a Highweight race when 2nd at Woodville last start carrying 68kg after a nice freshen up and the Kelly Myers booking has us leaning slightly this way, but you could make a case for a few others

RACE 6 - 2200m BENCHMARK 65

FLAMENCO / ARKSEY / DRESSE’ PAR JOLIE

We hang tough with FLAMENCO who was good late at Ruakaka last start and came on strongly but far too late. Won very well at Matamata and back on a Soft track we could see a bold effort over this trip. Happy with these odds and Rooke aboard, although the favourite ARKSEY will prove hard to beat

RACE 7 - 1650m MAIDEN

HOLLABACK GIRL / JASPER / ZASHUBO

Royal opportunity for HOLLABACK GIRL to break her maiden at Waverley for Shane Crawford and the trainer was fairly buoyant about her chances on Friday. The filly wouldn't need to improve much after finishing second at Puke and Otaki, so just has to be the one

RACE 8 - 1650m BENCHMARK 65

TRAINWRECK / BRUNO / OUR GIULIA

Bit of value in the last with TRAINWRECK who is 2nd-up but does possess some genuine ability. Went flat at the end of the last campaign after winning at Trentham over 1400m and at his best would prove hard to beat. Unpredictable in the last although we expect a much stronger showing from the gelding

BEST BET: BRUTIFUL LASS

NEXT BEST: HOLLABACK GIRL

BEST VALUE: TRAINWRECK

WILDCARD: FLAMENCO
