2020/21 New Zealand Jockey Premiership winner Danielle Johnson has provided us with her top bets to follow this weekend. Check them out below 👇
3 Smart Love has looked very good in both starts this campaign. Slight query coming back from 1400 metres to 1300 metres here but has the class to win again.Â
Pukekohe R1 – MAJESTIC HORSE FLOATS 1300
| 3. Smart Love (1) J: Masa Hashizume 57.5kg 21X11 T: Lance O’Sullivan & Andrew Scott |

2 Platinum Attack has trialled well leading into this. Goes well on the dogleg tracks and was beaten only a length in the Group 1 Railway earlier in the year. That looks great form for this.
Riccarton R6 – DONALDSON BROWN PEGASUS STAKES HANDICAP (L)
| 2. Platinum Attack (2) J: Craig Grylls 57.5kg 5726X T: Lisa Latta |

Forget her last start when 12 Zormella was in the worst of the going and then had trouble working clear. Should strike a good track on Saturday and can bounce back hard.Â
Pukekohe R8 – DEVAN PLASTICS MILE
| 12. Zormella (5) J: Masa Hashizume 56kg 12X00 T: Roger James & Robert Wellwood |
