9Rising Star

Our price $6.00 · SP $6.30 · J J Fawcett

Rising Star stands out as the only runner with meaningful form data and proven ability at this track. Her third place finish first up at Te Rapa in April demonstrates readiness fresh, and the significant class drop from Open to Maiden level provides a major advantage. Despite the wide barrier and heavy track concerns, her proven form gives her a clear edge over the debutants.

2nd pick6th
11Rumours

Our price $4.00 · SP $11.30 · Matthew Cameron

Rumours holds the crucial inside barrier which is vital on Heavy 9 tracks where inside runners have significant advantages. The tactical advantage of barrier 1 could prove decisive in these conditions.

3rd pick4th
1Curzon Park

Our price $12.00 · SP $16.00 · W F Pinn

Curzon Park brings the highest class credentials having contested Group 1 company, and shows consistent placing ability with two seconds from five starts.

The significant class drop provides opportunity.

Value pick7th
3Dashing

Our price $12.00 · SP $8.10 · M Hashizume

8Sadhbh

Our price $3.20 · SP $4.50 · M J Mc Nab

Sadhbh stands out as the clear heavy track specialist with 0 wins from 2 starts but crucially both were seconds, demonstrating superior wet track ability. Her recent form is excellent with consecutive runner-up finishes, and the 56.5kg weight is ideal for heavy conditions. While still a maiden, her proven heavy track placing record gives her a significant advantage over rivals with limited or no heavy track experience.

2nd pickWon
1Don''s Legacy

Our price $5.50 · SP $7.40 · E H Nicholas

Don's Legacy brings solid heavy track credentials with 0 wins from 4 starts but 2 seconds, showing he handles wet conditions well. The barrier 1 draw is perfect for heavy going, and his recent form shows two consecutive seconds. Previous experience at Te Rapa is valuable, though the 57.5kg weight and 35-day break are minor concerns against his proven heavy track ability.

3rd pick10th
4Reecetherageese

Our price $8.00 · SP $13.60 · M Alam

Reecetherageese's last start runner-up finish at this exact track and distance in heavy conditions makes him a strong contender. Limited experience is offset by his proven ability at Te Rapa, making him a solid each-way proposition.

Value pick5th
6The Kehua

Our price $13.00 · SP $13.60 · Tayla Mitchell

The Kehua offers excellent value with extensive heavy track experience showing 0 wins from 9 starts but 1 second, 3 thirds, demonstrating consistent placing ability on wet tracks. His recent third at Te Rapa shows current form, and while winless in 12 starts, his heavy track place record is solid.

3Diamond Jak

Our price $3.20 · SP $5.90 · Samantha Collett

Diamond Jak is the standout heavy track specialist with an exceptional record on this surface. His last start victory at Te Rapa over 2200m in Heavy 9 conditions perfectly matches today's scenario. With 2 wins from 6 starts at this exact track and distance combination, plus 5 wins from 21 heavy track starts overall, he has superior wet track credentials to any other runner.

Our price $5.50 · SP $4.50 · Sam McNab

16Playinasandpit

Our price $5.00 · SP $6.40 · E H Nicholas

10Talea

Our price $6.00 · SP $6.20 · Opie Bosson
