I've really liked Chase Aucklands runs this prep. First of the horses in the running line home in the NZ Cup then won the FFA.

Smokey Ashley Locaz, only had the two runs this prep so will be peaking for the final.

Best 100-1 shot Mach Shard. Some peaks in performance at Auckland.

We will learn a lot more over the next 7 days. Looks to be a really open series between the Purdons and Aussies. Bring it on.
Thefixer has improved but not to the point where he was. Cruel draw but he is probably my pick to run third.

Chase Auckland ran 3 good seconds but had chances to win, not good enough and that draw is plain awkward.

Mach Shard done well to qualify as my 100-1 pop and had a good series but this final is obviously above him.

Ultimate Sniper drawn to lead and will do a demoltion job here. As long as Ashley Locaz can cross to the front he is the only hope of something being in the course photographers photo.

Had Ashley Locaz had Chase Aucklands Friday night he would have beat Ultimate Sniper for mine. $3.13 place currently available TAB. I'm not au fait with his gate speed to be honest but I can see him getting leaders back and from there will be a terrific shot at a placing. That will be my play.

Finishing Order:
1. Ultimate Sniper
2. Ashley Locaz
3. Thefixer
4. Cruz Bromac
5. My Kiwi Mate
6. A G s White Socks
7. Chase Auckland
8. Triple Eight
9. San Carlo
10. Sicario
11. Mach Shard
12. On The Cards
