Qail Al Frarasha is fresh off a win at Ellerslie on 22 November in a Group 2 race. Her first two starts were in Group 1 company, where she was beaten by some very strong, in-form horses. She does step up in distance here and has only won once at this trip, but in a small field I don’t think that will trouble her. She beat race rivals Jaarffi and Bourbon Express last start and looks well placed again. Boost your odds for bigger payouts with Odds Boost. Find out more about Odds Boost Te Rapa R5 – CAL ISUZU…

Waitak is in outstanding form this preparation and is looking to complete a Group 1 hat-trick here. He’s produced huge runs over 1600m and 2040m in the Hawke’s Bay Triple Crown, winning both the Livamol Classic and the Howden Insurance Mile. All form indicators point strongly to him again: ideal track conditions, perfect distance range, strong jockey booking, and proven versatility on firmer and softer ground. Currently paying $3.00 to win and $1.35 to place, he is my best bet of the week. Boost your odds for bigger payouts with Odds Boost. Find out more about Odds Boost Trentham R8…

El Vencedor is coming off a solid Hawke’s Bay Triple Crown campaign, finishing in the top five in all three races and closing strongly for second in the Livamol Classic. His most recent effort at Ellerslie was impressive, winning over 2000m by 2.3 lengths. He is dropping back in distance from his last two runs, but that shouldn’t be an issue given his strong track, jockey, and distance form. Boost your odds for bigger payouts with Odds Boost.

Just beaten by Affirmative Action last start and that horse was only narrowly beaten in the Group One Guineas last weekend. Gets 2kgs off here with Liam Kauri’s claim and at the $4 price looks a nice bet. Passiflora was huge last time but has come up fairly short.

Golden Wings has a solid record, having raced only three times for two seconds and a win last start over 1200 m. He led the field the whole way and scored by 4.5 lengths. He steps up to 1400 m here, which will be a real test for him. Unfortunately, he’s drawn a tough gate for his front-running style, so he’ll need to work hard early to find the lead. If he can get there, I’m confident he has the class to go back-to-back. Boost your odds for bigger payouts with Odds Boost. Find out more about Odds Boost Pukekohe…

Brave effort last time sitting wide in the open in what has proven to be a strong form race yet only getting beaten two lengths. Just has to tick off the 1600 metre box but from his good draw maps to get a lovely economical run on speed and should be hard to beat. Opening odds $3.70.
