The 3 year old Tavistock gelding has had 3 starts for 1-2-0 and ran second in his last start at Ellerslie on 29th January and won at Ruakaka on 6th January. Should handle a cut in the track and be hard to beat.

In the same race is Romancer starting from barrier 16 ridden by Jonathon Parkes. The 3 year old Redwood gelding has had 5 starts for 2-1-0 and ran 5th in his last start over a mile at Auckland after throwing a shoe up front and galloping on it behind. Won the Mufhasa Stakes at Ellerslie on Dec 3 . The wet track and draw aren't ideal but he won a trial impressively going 4 wide on a heavy track on 30th August at Avondale. May relish the conditions, love the extra ground, show his class and go woosh.
Race 7 the Go Racing Syndications Avondale Cup Group 2 Open Handicap $100000 sees St Jean start from barrier 8 ridden by Johnathon Parkes. He has had 18 starts for 6-2-2 and won the City Of Auckland Cup on New Years Day. If he handles the ground he will be very hard to beat. His run on New Years Day was enormous and his beach work has been spot on. A big striding horse who is match fit. He is attempting the second leg of the $1 million Triple Crown - City Of Auckland Cup, Avondale Cup and Auckland Cup. Good luck to the owners.

Race 8 the Auckland Eye 2100m R65 $22500 sees Comin'through start from barrier 8 ridden by Leith Innes. The 3 year old Bullbars gelding has had 8 starts for 1-0-2. We think he will handle a cut in the ground and should feature in the finish.

Race 2 the Energy Vets Taranaki Maiden Special Conditions 1400m $20000 sees Twentysixtwelve start from barrier 9 ridden by Kelly McCulloch. The 3 year old Pour Moi gelding ran 4th in his first start at Avondale on 25th January. Had a foot injury early in his career so the team have been patient . He is a very nice horse and if he handles the track will be hard to beat.
