Trentham tips and results

Dolindo is the horse the shape of this maiden suits. He has twice finished second at 1400m on soft, including a nose defeat at Woodville three weeks ago after racing on the speed, and he is second-up (1:0-1-0). Trentham on soft has been rewarding horses in the first three at the turn, and he is the only natural leader in a moderate-tempo race.

Our price $5.50 · SP $1.45 · George Rooke

Rooke and the Ritchie-Murray stable are both in decent nick, and he gets 56kg from barrier 2. He is second here rather than the win play because that effort came from the back, and recent Trentham soft racing has been hard on horses that are not handy at the 400m.

Our price $8.00 · SP $19.00 · Matthew Cameron

She is 7:0-4-1, already second at this track and distance, and she led throughout when second at Hastings on Soft 7 a fortnight ago, so she maps as the horse sitting outside Dolindo. Wet form is the strength: one soft start for a second and six heavy starts for three seconds and a third. Cameron and Lammas are both winless in their last 20, and gate 12 means she may spend ground to find the lead group.

Our price $12.00 · SP $10.00 · Liam Kauri

Staying races at Trentham still lean to horses in the first three turning for home. He was only fair at his last two on soft in easier grades, and he has never placed in seven tries here, so the stake stays small and each-way.

Our price $3.70 · SP $4.80 · Wiremu Pinn

She is second-up after a Matamata BM75 run that flattered the beaten margin, she has already won second-up, and two of her five soft-track starts have been wins. The Walker and Bergerson stable is hot and Hassman's claim leaves her well weighted. The wide gate and a midfield map are the risks at Trentham over 1000m, where horses near the speed keep winning, but her class and wet record still clear Bee Precious, the other four-dollar chance, who is fresh and lightly raced.

Our price $11.00 · SP $34.00 · Sarah Macnab

Marotiri Marsta is the value play at seventeen dollars. She drops back to that grade today, Macnab sticks, and barrier seven is a plus. She gets back, which is a real negative over 1000m here, so she is not a top-three winning chance.

Our price $4.00 · SP $7.00 · Wiremu Pinn

Legally Binding is the form pick because he is wound up for a Sunday open sprint. Second-up, with one win and one second from two starts in that role, he was a close fourth first-up at Cambridge and had earlier finished second in an open handicap on soft at Otaki. The stable has six winners from its last 20 runners, Wiremu Pinn has won both rides on him, and 54kg from barrier 6 lets him sit just off a moderate speed.

Our price $6.50 · SP $7.00 · Toni Davies

Ima Brazen One is the proven wet-track Trentham horse. She has three wins from ten on soft and two from four on heavy, including an open handicap win here on heavy, plus an open win on soft at Otaki when she led all the way. Fresh she has two wins from five, and barrier 5 helps her be handy in a moderate tempo. Top weight after 106 days off, and a poor final run last preparation when she hung, are the risks.

Our price $6.50 · SP $7.50 · Kelly Myers

Will is the horse the map wants. Barrier seven and a forward pattern put him where Trentham mile winners usually are, and he has already won a soft 1600m this month.

Our price $5.00 · SP $3.90 · Craig Grylls

A week ago she ran to a winning standard on soft six in this class despite being crowded and held up from the back half. Grylls and 56kg are genuine pluses, and she is a mile winner.

Our price $14.00 · SP $26.00 · Liam Kauri

Our price $6.50 · SP $5.50 · Wiremu Pinn

He has already been competitive in Group races and his Te Rapa second was a high-class effort.

Our price $8.00 · SP $11.00 · Craig Grylls

Belles Beau is the class drop in the race. Soft ground has produced placings rather than wins, and barrier 14 plus a rearward last start are real issues on a forward-leaning mile.

Our price $13.00 · SP $34.00 · George Rooke

He is the only horse in the field with a recent Group 1 placing and a Group 3 win at a longer trip, and he maps to sit just off a moderate speed from barrier 1, which is exactly where Trentham miles are being won.

Our price $7.50 · SP $4.40 · Kelly Myers

Hoorah Henry is the course horse. Last start he was held up after missing the kick and still ran fourth. Barrier 1 and Kelly Myers help, but a slow begin leaves him midfield on a track that rewards the first three at the turn. He belongs in the finish more often than he wins it.
