Trentham tips and results

Our price $4.50 · SP $9.00 · Matthew Cameron

Very lightly raced but showed enough on debut when keen and green over a sprint trip on heavy going. The step to a mile from an inside gate should suit a horse with natural speed, and the Cole stable knows how to place them at Trentham.

She gets in light and stays the mile.

Our price $2.75 · SP $2.70 · Craig Grylls

The class runner of the field and the one to beat. A Group 1-placed colt who has won two of his three starts, including at his only heavy-track outing and when resuming from a spell. But his quality should still be decisive.

Our price $4.50 · SP $6.50 · Wiremu Pinn

Looks beautifully placed for these conditions. A heavy-track winner and a course winner who races handily, he was a victim of a wide gate last time and never got into the race. Drawn well and with natural speed, he should stalk the leader and be strongest late.

Our price $6.00 · SP $4.00 · Wiremu Pinn

The clear wet-track class of the field, with two heavy-track wins and a drop from stronger grades, plus a trainer firing at 30% at Trentham. The concern is a wide draw on a day when inside gates dominate and she can be slow to find her spot early. Genuine winning chance but the map makes her more of a place/progressive play than a banker.

Fleurs Star has shown steady improvement in two wet-track runs, closing for third over 1200m on a Heavy 10 last start after a tidy fifth on debut. She lands a perfect inside stall and should be prominent from the outset in a race lacking genuine pace, which plays to her strengths.

Our price $5.00 · SP $6.00 · Craig Grylls

Her stable is going well and the rider is a regular winner here. The obvious knock is barrier 12, which forces her to give away ground on a track that favours inside, forward runners, but her finishing strength keeps her in the mix.

Our price $11.00 · SP $67.00 · Triston Moodley

He drops out of restricted company into a maiden after a fair fifth on the synthetic, and the stable and rider are both going at a healthy clip. Barrier four should see him settle close to the speed in a slowly run race, the ideal spot on a testing track.

Dee Vee Pee is the improver in the field. He handles the wet without having won on it, and if the tempo is honest he should be charging home late. Clear top pick.

Our price $4.20 · SP $8.50 · Kelly Myers

But he is drawn out in gate 10, has to lump 59.5kg through heavy ground, and faded to eighth last start.

Zorba is an improving five-year-old whose two wins have both come on heavy ground, the latest a recent hurdle success that confirms his fitness and soundness. He carries a light weight, draws nicely in gate six and settles in the midfield band that has dominated staying races at this track. His two recent flat runs were plain but both had genuine excuses. A progressive wet-tracker worth following.

Our price $9.00 · SP $14.00 · Leah Hemi

Drawn perfectly in gate 1 with a light weight, and her stable is going well.

Our price $9.00 · SP $12.00 · Kelly Myers

Honest mare who keeps running into the placings on heavy ground, with five seconds from eleven wet-track starts, and whose midfield style should suit a race that shapes to be run at a fast tempo. She has a win and three placings at the mile and drops back from a longer trip.

Our price $5.00 · SP $5.00 · Lily Sutherland

A Trentham mile winner with a strong wet-track record, she rates the one to beat in a race where inside-to-midfield horses should dominate a fast-tempo Heavy 10 contest. Light weight and a solid fresh record add to her case.

Our price $3.60 · SP $6.50 · Triston Moodley

Belzoni ticks the heavy-track boxes. Drawn ideally in barrier three and races handy, which suits Trentham's mile profile. The query is 60kg on a Heavy 10, but his class edge and consistency make him the most likely winner.

Our price $3.40 · SP $4.20 · Craig Grylls

Craig Grylls rides the track well and has a strong record on the horse, and the Patterson stable is in form. However, barrier 14 and a get-back style are a real concern on a Heavy 10 at Trentham, so he is a place rather than a win play.

Our price $7.00 · SP $3.40 · Hyeontaek Oh

My Ferrari is the field's best wet-track horse, with three wins from eight on heavy going including a course-and-distance success at Trentham on a Heavy 10. He carries the lightest weight in the race, a big plus in the mud. The downside is a wide draw and a tendency to get keen; if he can find cover he is a genuine each-way chance.

Damiano is the value runner.
