Woodville tips and results

Our price $9.00 · SP $14.00 · Lily Sutherland

Tukipo produced a much-improved second over this course and distance last start, leading and fighting on. The pace map suggests he can get an easy lead again with a slow tempo predicted, which suits on a tight track. Barrier five is ideal.

Our price $7.00 · SP $23.10 · Floor Moerman

Tarzeel is a debutant but not one to dismiss. Kevin Myers is a top stable with a strong strike rate at Woodville, and the booking of Floor Moerman adds confidence.

Our price $4.50 · SP $3.00 · Jonathan Riddell

Veteran maiden with 19 starts but has been consistent, including a close second at this track and distance last start. Good draw and top jockey. However, he is second-up from a spell and has never placed in two second-up runs, plus carries top weight. A win would not surprise but he lacks a killer blow.

Our price $4.20 · SP $4.20 · Jonathan Riddell

The most complete form in the race. Three placings from four starts, including at Woodville, and a Good surface should suit better than the heavy tracks he has met.

Our price $7.50 · SP $6.60 · Kelly Myers

Had the run of the race at Woodville last start over 1200m, settling second and leading into the straight before condition told late. Second-up now and out to 1400m, which on his Churchill pedigree should suit, and he strips fitter for the step up. The draw of 14 is a real handicap around a tight turning track and he still has to prove he sees out the trip, but the stable wins here and he has enough gate speed to offset some of it.

Our price $9.00 · SP $11.50 · Toni Davies

Her form line badly undersells her. She bucked at the start on debut and was ordered back to the trials, then stepped up sharply to finish third in a 3yo sweepstakes at Otaki, closing from sixth after being checked near the 900m. That is stronger company than this maiden, she is clearly improving with racing, and she has the draw to take a handy sit.

Our price $6.00 · SP $7.00 · Kavish Chowdhoory

He is trained by a stable going well, links with a jockey-trainer pairing that has clicked at better than one in five, and gets the prized inside gate at a turning track where a handy position is an edge. Fitness and raceday manners are the unknowns.

Our price $8.00 · SP $8.00 · Floor Moerman

A consistent mare who has been placed at this course and trip and gets the inside gate, which should let her settle closer than she did last start. Her trainer is going well and has a proven record here, and the jockey rides this track successfully.

Our price $9.50 · SP $6.50 · Liam Kauri

He is second up and fitter, draws to be prominent again, and his jockey knows this circuit well. Twelve starts without a placing is the obvious concern, but much of his racing has been on rain-affected ground and a sounder surface may suit.

Our price $5.50 · SP $7.50 · Lily Sutherland

Possess is from the powerful Kevin Myers yard and looks well placed on pace. He was consistent last prep in stronger company, including placings in Open and BM75 races, and has won fresh. The query is the drop to 1400m, where he has had only one unplaced start, but his tactical speed should suit a slow tempo. A solid place chance.

Our price $5.50 · SP $6.50 · Masahiro Hashizume

Sevenayes drops from Open company and has a likeable record at Woodville, including two placings over this trip. He was disappointing first-up but is entitled to improve second-up, and barrier one should give him a soft run. His best form is on good ground, so the conditions suit.

Our price $7.00 · SP $10.00 · Jonathan Riddell

Lightly raced four-year-old who produced arguably the best closing effort in the field first-up at Hawera in a genuinely run race. He dropped back to 1000m fresh and will appreciate returning to 1200m, a trip he won and placed over last campaign.

Our price $13.00 · SP $16.00 · Hyeontaek Oh

She has twice finished in the placings here, drops slightly in grade, draws perfectly in gate two and was beaten only a couple of lengths over this trip in this grade last start after sitting handy from a wide gate.

Our price $4.20 · SP $5.50 · Floor Moerman

Won at this track and trip only 25 days ago, settling handy and proving too strong in the same grade. Drawn to get a similar trip from gate eight and the rider-trainer pairing is going well. The only real knock is her limited record on good ground, but she is fit, in form, proven here and looks the one to beat in an even race.

Our price $5.00 · SP $4.20 · Kelly Myers

A progressive three-year-old who has won or placed in all three starts and keeps producing the strongest closing burst in the field. She is lightly raced with plenty of upside, draws well and has an in-form rider aboard.

Our price $6.00 · SP $6.00 · Kavish Chowdhoory

A consistent mare with the best black-type-ish form in the field, twice placed in stronger company before a break.

Our price $5.00 · SP $4.40 · Leah Hemi

The drop in class from stakes company is a big help, and Good ground and a handy draw suit.

Our price $10.00 · SP $5.50 · Mereana Hudson

Says I Do has barrier 1 and strong speed, which should give it the run of the race on a tight track with only one other real leader. It has won at this level and on this surface, and last start's flat run on a Trentham track was from a wide draw on a quick tempo.
