Ellerslie 24^th April

R2 Crystallize: Has good form on a slow track which is likely on Saturday, has won at Ellerslie. Gets the ace draw which should assist early on in the day.

R7 Milford Sound: The Southern raider has raced well in its last couple of starts. Doesn't have to improve much to get this one.

Riccarton 24^th April

R4 Mackenzie Lad: Out of the Pitman barn and racing at Riccarton usually means it's a big chance and this is no exception. Drawn well with Sam Wynne on board, faces a good field but one of the main chances.

Awapuni 25^th April

R7 Mai Tai: Consistent runner that's won 3 of their last 4 starts from the Te Akau barn - Say no more.
