Auckland selections 25^th July 2025

Best Bet:  R4   The Rascal

Best Value:  R3   Pantani

Race 1

Tyson (5) Winning form is good form. Can go back to back with any luck in running here
Johnny Lincoln (2) Disappointing last start. Better than that and expect improvement
Debrief (6) Getting better with racing and has the speed to be a factor. Winning claims 

Race 2

Move It Lou (4) Moved barns and might start a short favourite in this after his good debut second
Shezsofast (1) Has early speed to be one of the leaders. Master driver on helps and needed here
American Falcon (6) Improver from his last start and top three chance if he goes forward early

Race 3

Pantani (6) Big late finish last start and looks back to his best. Conditions suit and top selection
Crackerjack (7) Good win last start and should keep improving. Worth including in combinations
Bravehearthighlander (3) Average effort last start but dangerous if he finds the front. Needed

Race 4

The Rascal (3) Solid placing the last couple and a winning chance from the draw. Top selection
What About Me (1) Has gate speed and decent reputation. Should give a good account here
Chapel Gate (5) Trainer respect and has been freshened. Top three chance at nice odds in this

.

Race 5

Roy Kent (1) Fought on last start and gets a soft draw to use. Should be hard to beat here
Twista (7) Running on last start and at his best could run top three here. Each way chance
Turn O The Tide (9) Will be fitter after last start. Not the worst at longer odds and draw suits

Race 6

Matty A (8) Led and fought on too well last start. Hard to beat against this lot but tricky handicap
Bolt For The Hill (6) Good when saved for one run. Winning claims with a good run in transit
Father Barry (2) Lots of ability but lacking manners. Give another chance here and hope he steps

Race 7

Princess Lisa (1) Best draw and looks well placed in this field. Will be finishing on in this field
Tytate (4) Going to run top three based on form and small field will help here. Hard to beat
Sadhaka (3) Has raced well in stronger fields and gets her chance to improve form. Win hope
