Woodville tips and results

Our price $6.50 · SP $5.70 · Toni Davies

Written In Rock has the right trip pattern, with two seconds from three starts around 2140, and from barrier 4 he can sit closer than most in a race that has no natural leader. He led and fought on for second at Awapuni in July. All of that form is on synthetic, and on soft turf he is 6:0-0-0.

Our price $7.00 · SP $8.00 · Tom Wigram

Runaway Princess has two seconds from five starts around 2140 and has been a consistent mare just short of winning at the trip. Tom Wigram's booking is the clearest rider intent in the field and 56.5kg helps on a tight weight scale. She is first-up, with a 2:0-0-0 fresh record, and barrier 11 plus a synthetic profile keep her just behind the main three.

Our price $3.40 · SP $3.60 · Kelly Myers

La Chica Bella is the form horse in this Wednesday maiden. Her three starts are all at 1200m, with a second at Hastings and fourths at Woodville and Hastings, every one on heavy. The latest, three weeks ago, was a winning-standard run, and the Woodville fourth came after she was hampered late. She gets 56.5kg and barrier 8 with Kelly Myers.

Our price $5.20 · SP $3.70 · Lisa Allpress

The stable-jockey pair have won 2 of 11 together.

Our price $11.00 · SP $15.00 · Floor Moerman

Lady Chandon has one public start, a fourth in a Hastings maiden over 1200m on heavy after she led and was still in the first three at the 400m. She resumes first-up for Guy Lowry and Leah Zydenbos, who have 3 wins from their last 20, with Floor Moerman (2 wins from 13 at Woodville). Each-way.

Our price $7.50 · SP $4.00 · Kelly Myers

The Trentham fifth in better juvenile company on heavy shows he can handle rain-affected ground, and both Rathbone and Kelly Myers are riding a useful recent strike rate.

Our price $14.00 · SP $51.00 · Liam Kauri

She is unraced, but Bambry's Woodville record and the Kauri booking are the strongest local combination among the first starters, and barrier 6 does not ask her to do anything awkward. Small each-way in a high-variance maiden.

Our price $4.60 · SP $15.00 · Lily Sutherland

Because is the form horse. He drops to 57.5kg from barrier 1 at a distance where his record is 32:3-4-5. A slow pace and a backmarker map are real risks on a track that has not been kind to horses settling back, and he is 11.

Our price $3.80 · SP $4.40 · Kelly Myers

He is the horse in form, placed at this class last start after racing on the speed, and he maps to sit just off a muddling pace from barrier one. Leaders have struggled to win on this wet Woodville profile, but he does not need the lead.

Our price $7.00 · SP $14.00 · Hayley Hassman

Grand Prospect is the course horse. He has already won twice at Woodville over this trip and he is drawn to race in the handy-to-midfield band that wins on this circuit. Last start's second keeps him fit, and the stable is going well. Use him to fill the trifecta, not to beat Early Times.

Our price $11.00 · SP $17.00 · Floor Moerman

Quill is the overlay. He has strung together three runs at this class on rain-affected ground, including a second last start and a third at Woodville over 2100m, usually under much more weight than 55.5kg. Small each-way only.

Our price $7.00 · SP $17.10 · Tom Wigram

He was second then fourth at his last two starts over 1700m, racing handy, and drops back to 1400m with Tom Wigram engaged. The knock is genuine: both soft-turf runs have been plain, including a fade at Waverley over today's trip, and he has the top weight.

Our price $8.50 · SP $10.50 · Masahiro Hashizume

Sax Appeal is a lightly raced three-year-old who has only ever raced on soft ground, with a third and a fourth in that sample, and she gets in on 54kg from barrier 8. That profile belongs in the placings of a Soft 6 maiden.

Our price $6.00 · SP $8.00 · Lily Sutherland

Trainwreck is the form pick in a moderate-tempo 1400m. He was beaten only narrowly in a highweight handicap last start while carrying 67kg on heavy ground, and that was the strongest recent wet run at this trip. He has already placed twice at Woodville, including over 1600m, and his 10-start record at 1400m is 1 win and 4 placings. A nine-kilo drop and a handy map give him the right shape.

Our price $5.50 · SP $5.00 · Masahiro Hashizume

McNab from barrier 1 is a clear plus in a race that leans handy. She is not the top pick because her latest start was a fade-out over 1000m and she is still winless in two soft starts.

Our price $8.50 · SP $10.00 · Hayley Hassman

Her 1400m maiden win came on soft ground and she was not disgraced in stakes races through autumn, including a placing in an Oaks prelude. That is a stronger profile than most of this field. The catch is freshness: she is first-up after 165 days with a first-up record of one unplaced start, and the stable is cold. Barrier 5 keeps her in the race. She is a measured each-way chance just behind the two main form hopes.

Our price $5.00 · SP $8.50 · Tom Wigram

Topeka is the horse whose recent run matches today's assignment. Second in a fillies and mares maiden at Ruakaka over 1600m on soft ground, she now draws barrier 4, where the mile has favoured inside gates, and Tom Wigram takes the ride in outstanding recent form. The sample is only two starts and the heavy-track debut was plain from the back, so she is not a lock.

Our price $8.50 · SP $8.50 · Kavish Chowdhoory

Borrowed Time keeps finding the frame when the ground is wet and the trip is a mile: three thirds from five at the distance and three thirds from five on soft. His latest fifth at Waverley on heavy ground was good enough to win a race of this class even though he did not place. He is second-up, and his only previous second-up run was unplaced, while barrier 12 is wider than ideal.
