★ Top pick7th

1Spot On Time

Our price $5.50 · SP $12.30 · Courtney Barnes

Elite track/distance record (5:4-0-1 TAD, 6:4-0-1 track) trumps recent poor run when carrying 60.5kg. 54% win rate, second-up specialist (3:2-1-0), proven soft tracker (4:1-1-1). Moderate-fast tempo suits stalking style at first-half track.

2nd pick2nd

14Iron Hawk

Our price $4.00 · SP $1.80 · Tina Comignaghi

Soft 6 suits (5:1-1-1), moderate-fast tempo fine for forward runner. Barrier wide but track allows long straight improvement. Elite connections for Listed.

3rd pickScratched

8Trobriand

Our price $6.50 · Bruno Queiroz

Strong Listed contender with wet track affinity (6:2-1-0 soft/heavy combined). Recent narrow 2nd Ashburton behind class dropper, prior Listed 2nd Riccarton heavy. Moderate-fast tempo suits, first-half track profile.

19Canasta

Our price $8.00

Lightly raced 4yo with perfect recent Riccarton form (3:2-1-0), including two 1400m wins. High soft suitability, barrier 6 ideal for midfield map on first-half track. Recent Riverton 2nd behind Tomasina shows competitiveness. Class rise but unexposed upside vs overbet proven horses creates value.
