Auckland selections 4th September 2026

Harness analyst best tips:

Best Bet: R10  Jeremiah

Best Value: R4  Jasinova

Race 1

Wat Next (4)

Impressive winning fresh last week and should be even better for that outing. Looks capable of going back-to-back.

Just Us Two (8)

Continues to race extremely well and scored again last week. Wide draw makes this tougher but she has to be included.

Gotta Go Miki (1)

Did plenty of work last week before being run down. The ace gives her a much easier assignment. One for longer odds.

---

Race 2

Majestic Whizdom (9)

Bounced back to winning form at Cambridge and did it nicely. Gives away 30 metres but can win again with good manners.

Aldebaranmargareta (2)

Unraced filly who looked very smart winning her qualifier by a huge margin. Definite winning chance on debut.

Power Seeker (1)

Returns after showing ability in his first two starts. Starts from the front and can get into the finish fresh.

---

Race 3

Georgie Best (5)

Freshened since two useful efforts here in May. Has enough ability for this grade and looks an interesting value chance.

Heaven High (8)

Produced an encouraging effort at Cambridge last time. Wide draw over the mile is awkward but capable of figuring.

Sammy Lincoln (4)

Runner-up in his last two starts and continues to race honestly. Drawn well enough to get another good opportunity.

---

Race 4

Jasinova (6)

Back in form last week after finding the lead. Opened at ridiculous money and looks capable of another bold showing.

Son Of The Cleaner (9)

Strong winner here last week and is clearly going well. Ten-metre handicap makes it harder but he’s a major chance.

Brienne (5)

Went close here last week and gets another chance from the front mark. Should be competitive again.

---

Race 5

Jessie Lincoln (4)

Has gone close several times already and finds another suitable maiden. Good draw gives her every chance to break through.

Awesome Choice (12)

Made a mistake during the running last week. Has shown enough ability and can threaten if he gets everything right.

Dolly Parton (2)

Returns after showing promise in her first campaign. Handy draw and should get her opportunity if ready fresh.

---

Race 6

Father Barry (11)

Good form throughout his previous campaign and has had a useful workout for this return. Can go well fresh despite the handicap.

Shesgold (5)

Three placings from three starts this campaign and continues to knock on the door. One of the hardest to beat again.

Scoots (2)

Had more to offer at Cambridge last start and now gets the front mark. Looks a useful chance at longer odds.

---

Race 7

Coal Fire (2)

Excellent juvenile with big wraps from strike rate stable. Drawn perfectly for his return and looks very hard to beat.

Dino (4)

Two starts for two wins but steps into much stronger company here. Clearly talented and deserves plenty of respect.

Lucky Luka (6)

Also brings good form after winning his last two starts before a freshen up. Tough field but has done nothing wrong so far.

---

Race 8

Illicit Love (1)

Chasing three straight after another strong victory here last time. Front mark is a big advantage and she can win again.

Shez Bella (7)

Has been racing consistently since returning and the 2200m suits. Fifteen metres makes it tougher but she’s an each-way hope.

Stone Cold (4)

Had little luck at Cambridge after two good placings to start the campaign. Front mark brings him right into this.

---

Race 9

Daisy Bay (3)

Finished strongly when resuming and should improve from that outing. Better draw gives her a big chance to return to winning form.

Belle Biddy (12)

Worked hard and was still too good at Cambridge. Draw is the obvious problem but she has plenty of ability.

Lady Di (7)

Only narrowly beaten when resuming and should be fitter now. Draw hurts but clearly one of the main chances.

---

Race 10

Jeremiah (6)

Three very good runs since returning and has an excellent record over the sprint trip. Looks the one they have to beat.

American Me (7)

Had things against him last time and is better than that result. Tricky draw but too classy to dismiss. Needed

Lincoln Wave (3)

Won a recent workout and has an excellent record over the sprint distance. Good draw makes him a serious threat.

---

Race 11

Mama’s Wish (4)

Runner-up in three consecutive starts against useful opposition. Gets another good draw and looks ready to convert that form into a win.

War Chief (9)

Powered home to win here last week and is racing in excellent form. Second row complicates things but he can win again.

Nazare (7)

Returned with an impressive victory last month and should have improved since. Wider draw is the concern but he’s right in this.
