Auckland selections 11th September 2026

Harness analyst best tips:

Best Bet: R7 Bolt For The Hill

Best Value: R9 Micky Hill

Race 1

Duke Of Bourbon (4)

Showed plenty in his first campaign and has the ability to take this out. Manners are the key fresh up.

Bijou (3)

Followed his debut win with a good effort from a big handicap. Small field suits and he looks a major chance.

Tactico (2)

Debutant who comes in off a workout win. Drawn nicely and looks capable of making an immediate impact.

---

Race 2

Mediator (8)

Very good third when resuming and should be fitter tonight. Wide draw hurts but he looks one of the hardest to beat.

Aventador (3)

Has continued to race well since winning here three starts ago. Good draw gives him every chance to feature again.

Muchacho (6)

Solid fourth from the second row last week and gets the front line tonight. Capable of getting into the finish.

---

Race 3

Muscle Memory (1)

Two strong placings since returning and now gets the ace. Looks to have found a great opportunity to break through.

Royal Petite (9)

Four straight placings this campaign and continues to race well. Manners can be tricky but she’s a genuine winning chance.

Yeah Nah (7)

Should be better for his fresh-up run at Cambridge. Has enough ability to be a strong each-way chance in this field.

---

Race 4

Signman (4)

Returns after showing good ability last campaign and has had two workouts to prepare. Looks capable of a big fresh-up run.

Sammy Lincoln (1)

Has finished runner-up in his last three and gets the perfect draw. Looks certain to be right in the finish again.

Blacklaz (2)

Hasn’t raced for a long time but two workouts should have him ready. Drawn nicely and worth including fresh.

---

Race 5

Omaha Lincoln (5)

Very good second when resuming last week and should improve from the outing. Looks a strong winning chance.

Leon Galleon (7)

Wasn’t far away when resuming at Cambridge. Tougher draw tonight but fitter now and capable of running top three.

Cyclone Miki (4)

Debutant who won his latest trial and gets a workable draw. Looks ready to give this a serious shake first up.

---

Race 6

War Party (5)

Chasing four straight after another impressive win at Cambridge. This is tougher but he looks capable of taking the next step.

Allamericanplayer (7)

Classy pacer returning after finishing second to Jumal last campaign. Excellent fresh record and looks the biggest danger.

Final Change (8)

Continues to race consistently and was a good second at Cambridge last time. Wide draw but must be included in the multiples.

---

Race 7

Bolt For The Hill (6)

Building nicely this campaign and deserved his win here last start. Looks capable of going back-to-back.

Redpark Warrior (8)

Both runs back have been better than the results suggest and he loves this track. Wide draw but capable of upsetting them.

Father Barry (4)

Huge effort when second fresh up last week and should only improve. Looks a serious winning chance in this.

---

Race 8

Ride The Waves (8)

Has won four of her last five and is unbeaten at Auckland. Wide draw is the challenge but she’s clearly the one to beat.

Queen Lizzy (5)

Two solid Canterbury runs since returning and now heads north. Has the class to get into the finish at good odds.

Fly High (2)

Forget the latest when things went wrong. Her form beforehand was outstanding and the draw gives her every chance to bounce back.

Race 9

Micky Hill (5)

Won on debut before being given time and has had a workout for this return. Interesting fresh-up chance at value.

Franco Ronaldo (3)

Made it two wins from three with a tough victory here last time. Nicely drawn and looks a major chance again.

Donegal Hill (11)

Has been racing extremely well and narrowly missed making it two straight last time. Unruly draw hurts but he can still feature.
