Race 1 @ 5.49pm - #8 Keep It KlassyShe hasn't been getting it right of late so let's hope that changes tonight. A wide barrier makes it tough so we'll be looking for luck.Race 4 @ 7.15pm - #3 Ragnar Lothbrok & #6 Final ChangeRagnar Lothbrok has been racing great. While it's a handy field, he can spice things up at good odds.Final Change is back following a brief freshen up. He'll benefit from the outing, but definitely doesn't deserve to be the outsider....

Race 2 @ 5.38pm - #1 Gwendoline MaryShe made up plenty of ground a fortnight ago. The ace draw gives her a live chance.Race 4 @ 6.47pm - #2 Lulana & #5 Critical ImageWe start with Lulana who qualified well inside time and backed it up with a nice workout. She looks a handy each way chance.I can't fault Critical Image either. His workouts have been very good. He gives us a strong hand in the race.Race 5 @ 7.13pm - #8 Rough And ReadyIt's a drop in grade for o...

Race 6 @ 7.42pm - #4 Baileys Pitch & #5 Skys LegacyDon't read into Baileys Pitch last start as he got a flat tyre at the 750 and was eased out of the race. He's one to cover in your quinella and trifecta.Skys Legacy has derived plenty of benefit from his first start back. He looks a nice winning chance....

Race 5 @ 6.59pm - #3 Keep It Klassy, #12 Makaku & #13 DragonstoneOur first runner Keep It Klassy starts off the front tape. It's a handy field, but if she gets around safely she'll go an honest race.Makaku put it all together a fortnight ago so lets hope for the same again. He can spice it up at nice odds but I don't think you'll get $41 again!Dragonstone is escaping Auckland company so on that alone needs to be included.Race 6 @ 7.24pm - #3 Baileys Pitch & ...

Race 2 @ 6.06pm - #7 Gwendoline MaryIt was another solid effort last week. On exposed form she looks a top three player.Race 4 @ 6.55pm - #5 Skys LegacyHe's back on a new campaign and I've been very happy with his work. Keep him safe.Race 5 @ 7.20pm - #6 Joes Rock, #7 Rough And Ready & #8 Le MajorJoes Rock is dropping back from Auckland company. She gets herself into a race where she looks a winnable chance.You can never count Rough And Ready out at Cambrid...

Race 1 @ 5.22pm - #3 Gwendoline MaryShe meets a small maiden field from a good draw. With the right run she looks an honest chance.Race 2 @ 5.54pm - #8 Makaku & #9 Keep It KlassyMakaku has the ability but manners are key. We've tinkered with a couple of things so fingers crossed he gets around safely.Keep It Klassy gets to start closer to them tonight which should mean she's not chasing. She can spice up combinations....

Race 1 @ 5.45pm - #1 Baileys PitchHe seems right in the zone so I'm expecting a forward showing.Race 4 @ 7.14pm - #6 Ragnar LothbrokHe has a tricky draw, but on paper looks as good a chance as anything. With a drag into it he can spice it up.Race 5 @ 7.51pm - #1 Joes RockIt's a tough ask having to race Akuta. If she can do enough to hold her own out of the mobile she'll land a cosy trip. Keep her safe in combinations behind the favourite. Race 6 @ 8.19pm - #4 Dragon...

Race 3 @ 7.05pm - #11 DragonstoneIt was a tough effort last week after being off the scene for nearly six months. It's a very tidy field, but if she puts it all together again she'll go an honest race.Race 4 @ 7.33pm - #4 Gwendoline MaryShe's having her first start for us off the back to two pleasing workouts. While the favourite looks hard to contain, include her in quinella, trifecta and first four combinations.Race 5 @ 7.58pm - #3 Ragnar Lothbrok, #5 Final Change & #6 Beta ...

Race 1 @ 5.41pm - #6 Makaku & #7 Keep It Klassy Our main aim with Makaku is to get him around safely tonight. He put it all together at a recent workout so fingers crossed he does it again.Keep It Klassy didn't appear to be herself last start so we've put a line through that. On exposed form she looks a handy top three chance.Race 5 @ 7.29pm - #6 Joes Rock & #8 Rough And ReadyJoes Rock is coming in off the back of a freshen up. We'll be l...

Race 3 @ 6.29pm - #6 Final Change & #7 Ragnar LothbrokOur first runner Final Change has a tricky draw to contend with over the sprint. Having said that, he's racing super.

However, if the breaks go his way he can spice it up.Race 4 @ 7.03pm - #5 DragonstoneShe returns after a layoff with a promising workout under her belt. If she puts it all ...

It's a handy field but if he gets around safely I'm sure he'll acquit himself well.Race 5 @ 7.28pm - #4 Beta PrepareHe was starved of room in the Metro heat and went to the line full of running.

Race 3 @ 6.30pm - #8 Red Rackham He meets an even field but has a wide barrier to overcome. 2700 metres will help and if he brings his best form he shouldn't be far away.Race 4 @ 6.55pm - MakakuWhile he got it wrong last start, he did have an excuse. A small field should assist so fingers crossed he gets around safely. Stay loyal....

Race 2 @ 6.26pm - #4 Beta PrepareHe's racing in a great vein of form. While Auckland company may be a step up, he still warrants inclusion in all combinations.Race 4 @ 7.18pm - #4 Final ChangeIt's a hard act when you're a lightly raced 3 year old having to race seasoned campaigners. Hopefully a small field means he can navigate his first standing start safely. With a cosy trip he can finish amongst them....

Race 2 @ 6.03pm - #8 Red RackhamOnce again he never managed to get a cheap sectional last week. We'll be looking for a soft trip, which hopefully means we see him running on.Race 5 @ 7.18pm - #5 Makaku & #6 Keep It KlassyMakaku makes his debut from our barn and I can't fault him since he arrived.

Race 1 @ 5.14pm - #1 Ragnar Lothbrok, #4 Beta Prepare & #5 Red RackhamWe have a strong hand to open the night and I fancy the chances of all three runners.Ragnar Lothbrok comes in off the back of a good win at Manawatu. From the draw he won't have to do much extra. He looks a handy chance.You can't take anything away from Beta Prepare. Given it was a dead heat last start he gets to race in the same grade. He'd have to be a leading contender.I was happy with the way R...
