Race 5 Otaki, Friday 10 March

MARGHERITA VELOCE

Unlucky fourth at last start and previous form was very good. Has the services of in-form claimer, looks the one to beat.

Race 3 Pukekohe, Saturday 11 March

SAVONOSKI

Poised to complete a home track hat-trick. Odds will be short but a must have for multis punters.

Race 2 Trentham, Saturday 11 March

ARIS ARIS

Looked good in brief spring campaign and should be ready to kick off with a win after smart trial performance.

Race 6 Gore, Sunday 12 March

HUMBUCKER

Returns to the scene of his Gore Cup win two starts back and should be cherry-ripe for the step back up to 2000m.
