Race 6 Taupo Friday, September 20

BALLON D’OR

Unable to capitalise on first-up second when finishing sixth in strong company at Hastings. This looks easier.

Race 3 Ellerslie Saturday, September 21

CYBER PATCH

Hong Kong returnee with seconds at only two local starts. This looks his chance to break through.

Race 7 Wanganui Saturday, September 21

INDIAN GOLD

Knocking for a win and with in-form claimer in the saddle looks good value at boosted odds $4.40.

Race 4 Waverley Sunday, September 22

PRIVY GARDEN

Multiple placegetter who should be improved by slightly unlucky fresh-up second. The one to beat.

Race 3 Oamaru Sunday, September 22

MORNING STAR

A winner on the Riccarton polytrack but also placed on turf. The better the ground the better her chances.
