★ Top pickWon

1Ronaldo

Our price $2.00 · SP $1.60 · Craig Grylls

Heavy record (1:1-0-0) ideal for Soft 6, top weight no issue, strong jockey/trainer combo. Clear form standout despite class rise.

2nd pick2nd

3Pinafore

Our price $6.00 · SP $6.20 · K R Hercock

Strong soft track form (2:1-0-1) perfect for Soft 6 Wanganui, recent 1000m win on identical going shows sprint ability and fitness. Consistent 341 trend, Latta/Hercock combo reliable. Barrier 7 manageable in midfield for moderate-fast tempo, class rise offset by surface suitability over unproven rivals.

3rd pick6th

5Tifosi

Our price $8.00 · SP $13.60 · Kavish Chowdhoory

Promising filly with ideal barrier 3, soft record (1:0-0-1 recent 3rd) suits conditions. First-up stats include placing, strong jockey/trainer combo (27%). Lacks win but maps midfield well on speed-favouring track, better than exposed form suggests in young field.

Value pick5th

2nd pick6th

2Savachi Boy

Our price $8.00 · SP $9.50 · Jonathan Riddell

Prime draw 2 as likely leader on Wanganui sprint where inside speed dominates. Solid track record (2:0-1-0 at 1200m) and class drop to maiden boosts chances. First-up record poor but barrier/tempo suit moderate race shape.

3rd pickScratched

3Lucky Dice

Our price $2.50 · K R Hercock

Deep Field progeny suited to quick 1200m start near turn. Moderate tempo suits forward runner from gate 1 over proven maidens. Best pure form/value alignment despite thin history.

3Only The Lonely

Our price $4.00 · SP $4.70 · Kavish Chowdhoory

Consistent placer (63% strike) with good recent form (22316x242). First up stats solid but lacks exact distance exposure; still a top chance in leader-biased sprint. Selected over pure form leader due to map edge.

2nd pick4th

11Ledhaven Cassie

Our price $8.00 · SP $9.00 · Mereana Hudson

Ledhaven Cassie boasts exceptional consistency (86% place rate, 2322x221 form) and high soft track suitability. Recent winner with fitness edge (15 days), barrier 6 suits midfield map in moderate-fast tempo. Class rise a query but form patterns and reliability make it a strong place chance in BM65.

3rd pickScratched

9London

Our price $5.50 · Bruno Queiroz

London stands out with a recent win at this track and distance on soft going, breaking maiden impressively. High suitability for Soft 6, improving 3yo profile, and strong recent form (41) make it the form pick despite class rise. Barrier 10 manageable in sprint with likely moderate-fast tempo suiting forward runners.

Value pickWon

1Exit Left

Our price $12.00 · SP $8.40 · Floor Moerman

Recent BM65 placings (23532428x) show class suitability; Soft 6 plays to strengths in patchy rain. Barrier 9 and spell length risks but map/moderate tempo could suit late charge.
