4Sweet Smile

Our price $2.50 · SP $1.90 · Masahiro Hashizume

Sweet Smile is the standout on track and distance credentials, recording 2 wins from 2 starts at Ellerslie 1400m, both on soft ground. Won here just 14 days ago in BM75 company on Soft 5 with Hashizume aboard. The class rise to Open is significant, but the horse's dominance at this venue and distance, combined with proven soft-track ability (3 wins from 4 soft starts), makes it the clear form pick. Hashizume retains the ride with a 75% strike rate on this horse.

2nd pick3rd
5Bellarista

Our price $5.50 · SP $5.00 · Matthew Cartwright

Bellarista ran 3rd at this exact track, distance and condition just 14 days ago, demonstrating current fitness and suitability. The Cartwright/Marsh combination is working well and Cartwright is in excellent recent form. However, the horse finished behind Sweet Smile last start and faces the same rival again at a higher class level. The class rise to Open is a significant challenge, but the track and distance form makes this a legitimate each-way contender.

3rd pickScratched
1Agera

Our price $6.00 · Sam McNab

Agera brings genuine class credentials having won at Group 2 and Listed level on soft ground last preparation, including a win on Soft 7. However, returning from a 160-day spell with a first-up record of 0 wins from 4 starts is a concern. The soft track suits well and the horse has proven ability at this level, but the spell and lack of Ellerslie 1400m form tempers confidence. Best placed as a place chance on return.

Value pick4th
7Astoria Brooke

Our price $7.00 · SP $6.70 · Michael Mc Nab

Astoria Brooke has genuine wet-track credentials with 3 wins from 4 heavy starts and 2 wins from 2 starts at 1400m, but the soft track record (1 win from 9 starts) is less convincing for today's Soft 7. The jockey McNab has had 0 wins from his last 20 rides which is a significant concern. Only consider if seeking roughy coverage in exotics.

★ Top pick3rd
1Judy's Smarties

Our price $4.00 · SP $3.60 · Craig Grylls

With virtually no form data available across the field, this race defaults to a connections-based assessment. Judy's Smarties holds the key advantage of Craig Grylls, who is in exceptional recent form at 30% from last 20 rides and 19% at Ellerslie. Barrier 2 provides tactical flexibility. In a field of largely unknown quantities, Grylls' engagement is the strongest positive signal available.

2nd pick2nd
9Intan

Our price $4.50 · SP $4.40 · Michael Mc Nab

Intan represents the second Pike runner in this race, trained by one of New Zealand's leading handlers. Barrier 4 is tactically sound and the McNab/Pike combination has a respectable 16% strike rate. However, McNab's recent form is concerning with 0 wins from 20 rides. In a data-poor race, trainer quality and barrier position are the primary differentiators.

3rd pickWon
6She's No Saint

Our price $9.00 · SP $4.40 · Wiremu Pinn

She's No Saint is the only runner with verifiable form data, having raced exclusively at Ellerslie on Soft surfaces. Her 3rd placing in Open class on Boxing Day 2025 shows she can compete at this level, and all her form is directly relevant to today's conditions. However, jockey Pinn's complete absence of wins in 20 rides is a major concern, and the last start 6th suggests she may be struggling to find the front.

Value pick4th
3Pellargo

Our price $6.50 · SP $9.20 · Masahiro Hashizume

Pellargo is flagged as a value consideration primarily due to the A W Pike training connection and the speed map suggesting a likely leader role from barrier 6. Pike's stable is represented by two runners today, indicating genuine intent. However, the Hashizume booking is a concern given his cold recent form, and the lack of any form data makes this a speculative selection.

3Ashoka

Our price $4.00 · SP $7.60 · George Rooke

Ashoka maps perfectly for today's race - two placings at this exact track and distance, both on soft ground at BM65 level. While winless on soft, the consistent placing pattern and track/distance affinity make this the most reliable form reference in the field. Rooke's recent form adds confidence.

2nd pick5th
1Fleeting Star

Our price $4.50 · SP $2.60 · Joe Nishizuka

However, the soft track record (0 wins, 2 places from 5 soft starts) is a concern given today's Soft 7 conditions. The barrier 10 draw is not ideal. Place coverage recommended.

3rd pick7th
5Beneath The Stars

Our price $7.00 · SP $13.50 · Hayley Hassman

Beneath The Stars has the best soft track credentials in the field with 2 wins from 4 soft starts and a previous win at this exact track and distance on Soft 6. The concern is the 224-day spell and poor form before the break (two 13th placings). First-up record is 0 from 2, but second-up record improves to 1 from 2.

Value pick6th
6She's Untouchable

Our price $5.50 · SP $6.80 · Michael Mc Nab

The class drop is a positive factor and the horse has shown wet track ability with a 3rd on Heavy 8 recently. However, McNab's current form slump (0 wins from 20 rides) is a significant concern.

2Manolete

Our price $3.00 · SP $2.50 · Craig Grylls

Manolete is the standout form horse in this race with two runs at Ellerslie over 1200m on Soft, placing 3rd and 2nd. His last start second from barrier 11 on Soft 5 is particularly relevant - drawing barrier 2 today is a significant upgrade. Soft track record of 3:0-1-1 confirms wet-track suitability. Craig Grylls in excellent recent form (30%) adds confidence.

2nd pick2nd
1Earlicheer

Our price $6.00 · SP $7.10 · George Rooke

Last start 3rd at Tauranga just 8 days ago confirms fitness. Soft track record of 3:0-1-0 is encouraging for today's Soft 7 conditions. George Rooke retains the ride having placed on this horse previously.

3rd pickScratched
12Furston

Our price $7.50 · Matthew Cartwright

Furston is a rapidly improving 2-year-old showing a clear upward trajectory across two starts. Matthew Cartwright's exceptional recent form (25% last 20) is a significant positive.

Value pick5th
9Watermelon Sugar

Our price $9.00 · SP $9.00 · Masahiro Hashizume

The significant class drop is a positive, and she has raced at Ellerslie on Soft previously. However, her soft-track record shows no placings (3:0-0-0) and recent form has been consistently 5th. The wide barrier 18 is a concern despite Ellerslie Soft being relatively barrier-neutral. A speculative each-way play only.

13Ivy's Dancer

Our price $3.00 · SP $4.90 · Craig Grylls

Ivy's Dancer is the most consistent performer in this field with 7 top-3 finishes from 10 starts and proven form at this exact track and distance on soft ground. The combination of Craig Grylls (30% strike rate last 20 rides, 19% at Ellerslie) and a horse that has placed twice at Ellerslie 2100m on soft is compelling. The class rise from Restricted 60 is a concern but recent form suggests she is ready to compete at BM65 level.

2nd pickWon
2Free Bird

Our price $3.50 · SP $2.80 · Michael Mc Nab

However, the significant distance rise to 2100m is untested and she is stepping up in class. Her soft track record is the best in the field but the distance query and jockey's recent form (0 wins from 20 rides) temper enthusiasm.

3rd pick5th
9Alaskan

Our price $7.00 · SP $10.50 · Jack Taplin

Alaskan is second up from a spell and showed good fitness with a 2nd placing at New Plymouth first up. However, soft track form shows no wins and recent form prior to the spell was poor. The first-up placing suggests she is ready to improve second up, and Jack Taplin's current form is a positive.

Value pick4th
3Sweet But Psycho

Our price $5.50 · SP $10.70 · Masahiro Hashizume

The class drop from BM75 to BM65 is significant and she has proven she can handle the distance and conditions. Recent form at BM75 has been poor but that class was too strong.

2Pacifico

Our price $2.80 · SP $4.30

Pacifico is the standout selection having won this exact race 14 days ago at Ellerslie over 2100m on Soft 5. The horse is in career-best form with back-to-back wins including a Listed race at Arawa Park on Heavy 9. Proven wet track performer with 8 wins from 25 combined soft/heavy starts. The 1kg weight rise to 61.5kg is manageable given the class level.

12Super Fly

Our price $3.50 · SP $3.90 · Michael Mc Nab

Super Fly won the Ellerslie 2100m BM75 on Soft 5 just three weeks ago and faces the same track and conditions today. The class rise to Open is the primary concern, but her Ellerslie record is outstanding with 3 wins from 8 starts. Soft track form is strong with 3 wins from 10 starts. Jockey McNab retains the ride and knows the horse well.

3rd pick4th
11War Of Succession

Our price $5.00 · SP $5.80 · Hayley Hassman

War Of Succession has strong credentials for this race having won Ellerslie 2100m on Soft 7 in June 2025 under similar winter conditions. The track record of 3 wins from 7 Ellerslie starts is impressive, and soft track form is proven with 3 wins from 8 starts. The class rise from BM75 is the main concern, but the horse ran third in the BM75 at this track and distance just three weeks ago showing current fitness.

Value pick5th
10Pacheco

Our price $8.00 · SP $14.80 · Elen Nicholas

The horse ran second at Ellerslie 2100m on Soft 5 in September 2025 and has strong wet track credentials with 3 wins from 9 soft starts. The hurdle placing on May 24 confirms current fitness. The class rise is a concern and jockey Nicholas is in poor form, but the track and condition suitability is the best in the field.

4Accentuate

Our price $3.20 · SP $4.70 · Michael Mc Nab

Accentuate is the most compelling form runner in this race. The weight drop to 55kg from 58kg last heavy run is a significant positive. Four top-3 finishes from 6 starts shows consistency. The main concern is McNab's recent form drought (0 from 20), but the horse's form profile is the strongest in the field at this track and distance range.

2nd pick3rd
6Cosmic Dream

Our price $4.50 · SP $2.30 · George Rooke

Cosmic Dream has been placing consistently on soft tracks at Ellerslie and Te Rapa, finishing 3rd in both recent starts on Soft 5. The concern is converting placings to wins on soft ground (0 wins from 3 soft starts). However, George Rooke's excellent current form (20% last 20 rides) and the strong trainer combination (18%) provide confidence. The step up to 1400m is untested but the horse has shown stamina.

3rd pickScratched
5Arwen

Our price $5.00 · Matthew Cameron

Arwen has been consistent across all 3 career starts with a 100% place rate, including a win on Soft 5 and a 3rd at Ellerslie on Soft 5 three weeks ago. The key question is whether she can handle the step up to 1400m having only raced over 1100-1150m. The soft track suitability is proven and the weight is light at 55kg. Cameron's poor Ellerslie record (4%) is a concern but the horse's form profile is solid for this class.

Value pickScratched
9Electric Angel

Our price $7.00 · Matthew Cartwright

The Ellerslie soft track profile favours closers and backmarkers, which suits a horse coming from barrier 11. Cartwright's excellent recent form (25% last 20 rides) and strong trainer combination add confidence. The step up to 1400m is the key unknown, but the horse has previously placed over 1600m suggesting stamina is not an issue.

Andiamo won a maiden on Soft 7 at Matamata just 24 days ago and steps up to BM65 for the first time. The high track condition suitability and soft track winning record align perfectly with today's Soft 7 conditions. Trainer Marsh has a strong record at Ellerslie and McNab's 18% track strike rate is excellent despite poor recent form.
