Top pick: #1 (TAIERI RIVER) - Has the rail, good tactical speed, drops way down in his 2nd off a layoff, and trainer Paul Attard wins at a 19% rtae 2nd off a long break. Grey gelding meets a week field and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Outofthedepths) - Racing back into shape following a long layoff he showed some early interest last out and has a nice work on June 4th that sets him up nicely for this evening's attempt. Another grey gelding and he should be in this from start to finish.
