1 AUCKLAND CUP 08 MARCH InFORM Racing BEST BETS MICHAEL GUERIN TIGHTLIGN ELLERSLIE R5 Super fast last 600m last start and drawn to sit closer in race where main rival has huge weight. AIDAN RODLEY YOURDEEL ELLERSLIE R7 Dazzling winner of Matamata Slipper last start and had placed in the Karaka Million prior, awkward draw but yardstick here. GEORGE SIMON TURF WAR Multiple Group 1 winning mares Melody Belle (left) and Danzdanzdance (right) will clash in a quality Bonecrusher Stakes field at Ellerslie. MICHAEL GUERIN Champion jockey Opie Bosson doesn t want to chose one of his equine loves over the other for tomorrow s Bonecrusher Stakes at Ellerslie. Because while Bosson his hoping he adds another group one with Melody Belle in what has become the surprising highlight of Cup day, he is also hoping his other occasional dance partner Danzdanzdance goes a great race too. Melody Belle beating Danzdanzdance by a nose would suit me, smiles Bosson. Bosson has ridden both to win group ones this summer but as the main man in the saddle for Te Akau he is committed to Melody Belle for tomorrow s $200,000 weightfor-age thriller. But he admits he would be happy to be on either. They are very different mares but both very, very good, explains Bosson. Danzdanzdance is at her best when she can settle and then maintain a long run whereas Melody Belle should settle handier and she is all class. I wouldn t like to say who was better because I honestly don t know. It might come down to the way the race is run. If the speed is on and the horses back in the field can get into the race late then that would suit Danzdanzdance but if they go a bit slower, which they can do in weight-for-age races at Ellerslie, then Melody Belle might have the advantage. But I don t have any concerns with the 2000m for Melody Belle because she relaxed beautifully three wide without over over a mile last start. While Bosson wants to win with Melody Belle he hopes Danzdanzdance performs well because he will be on her when she makes her Sydney autumn carnival debut in the Ravnet Stakes in two weeks. Both mares would handle any easing of the track but Danzdanzdance would probably appreciate it more yet Bosson says she felt super in her work between races at Ellerslie last Saturday on a Good3. It was firm there last week and she felt great, very smooth. Her work was really good so it should be a great race. While Bosson knows both Melody Belle and Danzdanzdance, who will be ridden by Craig Grylls, inside out he admits to knowing next to nothing about his Auckland Cup ride Vengeur Masque, a situation he was going to remedy with a video session last night. I saw him on the TV in the Melbourne Cup (15th) and that is about it but I ll watch all his videos and he looks a good ride. The set weights and penalties conditions of he Cup aid the likes of Vengeur Masque, Charles Road and Five To Midnight who all come in carrying fair weights rather than the crazy 60kgs topweights SPINDLE ELLERSLIE R1 Desperately unlucky last week, drawn to get a soft trip and should be in it. which so often wildly favour the 53kgs minimum horses who have dominated our major staying races in recent years. While Avondale Cup winner Glory Days has that luxury tomorrow (53.5kgs) she gets only 2.5kgs off Five To Midnight as opposed to the 6.5kgs difference in their weights three weeks ago. While Bosson is happy to be on the favourite Yourdeel in the $200,000 Sistema Stakes on Saturday he admits the outside draw and some trackwork on Tuesday worries him. Not Yourdeel s trackwork, which was spot on, but that of stablemate and race rival Equinox who Bosson also worked. I couldn t be happier with Yourdeel and both he and Aotea Lad are going to be hard to beat but I also worked Equinox in the blinkers on Tuesday and he felt like a different horse. He has a good draw on Saturday and he could be the surprise horse in the race. Money back offer PLACE A WIN BET THROUGH YOUR ACCOUNT ON RACE 1 OR 2 on the meetings below.

2 FORMGUIDE INSIDE WATCH LIVE SKY TV CHANNEL 62 & 63 ALL RACES LIVE ON APP NO REASON TO BE GUN-SHY IN DERBY MICHAEL GUERIN The boss is back and that usually only means one thing: you can confidently take the short odds for Ultimate Sniper in tonight s $250,000 Woodlands Derby at Alexandra Park. The star three-year-old pacer lost his unbeaten record in the Derby prelude last Friday when, after trailing, he hung in and paced roughly on the final bend, losing two lengths on eventual winner Jesse Duke. DENNIS RYAN Jake Bayliss did a double take when he was told the 600-metre time reeled off by On The Rocks in his final Bonecrusher Stakes hitout on the Matamata course proper yesterday morning. A tick over 36? You re kidding! It felt like at the very best. No kidding Jake, the Matamata trackwork clocker s stopwatch had On The Rocks running 1200 metres in 1:19.8 seconds and the last 600 in For back-up, co-trainer Pam Gerard s watch said That s amazing, Bayliss added, he just breezed it. When he pulled up he let out a little puff and then just ambled off. That underscored something the Ballymore Stables team have been saying for the past couple of weeks about the last-start Herbie Dyke Stakes winner. He s absolutely thrived, we simply couldn t be happier with him, Gerard repeated. The instructions this morning were to let him roll along the last bit but nothing too strenuous. Star 3yo Ultimate Sniper should have no handicaps in tonight s Derby at Alexandra Park. You can expect neither of those things trailing or pacing roughly to happen again tonight. Champion trainer Mark Purdon wasn t in Auckland last week, he was busy putting the winning polish on his Miracle Mile night team in Sydney but he has been back this week and hands on with the Derby favourite. It is not that Purdon s staff don t do a great job when the boss is absent, after all they have won plenty of I got a surprise too when I looked at my clock, so I can understand Jake s reaction, but he s got a long stride and can be very deceptive when he lets down. The intention since the Herbie Dyke has always been to give him that month between races and it s all gone to plan. The main thing is he s very well and that s what you want going into a Group One. Tomorrow s weight-for-age feature has the potential to be the highlight of Auckland Cup Week, with the main talking point Melody Belle s middle-distance debut and her attempt at an incredible fifth Group One win for the season. The late decision to run Zabeel Classic winner Danzdanzdance has added an intriguing element, while the prospect of an in-form On The Rocks returning to his favourite track suggests that at least two greys can threaten the party for New Zealand s highest rated racehorse. Backed by the confidence of ticking off her maiden Group One success with On The Rocks last month, Gerard and her Flemington-based races in his absence including two last Friday, but Purdon is still Purdon and he picks up the smallest details others might miss. I think he has a slight issue hanging last week which we can fix for this week, says Purdon. I have put a Murphy Blind on him with a small hole in it to make him concentrate better. I am confident he will be better and from that draw he will probably be in front. So he is clearly the one Double-take Jake can t argue with the clock A laid-back On The Rocks and disbelieving jockey Jake Bayliss after an impressive final gallop ahead of tomorrow s Bonecrusher Stakes. training partner Mike Moroney have two live Group One chances on the Ellerslie card. The other is Barfoot & Thompson Auckland Cup candidate Vengeur Masque, who arrived from Melbourne on Sunday with impressive staying credentials for the $500,000 two-miler. to beat. Ultimate Sniper has looked a touch freakish this season and as good as stablemate Jesse Duke is it is hard to see him beating him again. Another stablemate Another Masterpiece was scratched yesterday with an elevated temperature. Those looking for place and multis value should check out Bettorstartdreaming, who has the gate speed to find the markers early and follow close to the favourite which is the golden pathway to placing in major Alexandra Park saying events. Purdon has every reason to expect his heroics of last Saturday to be repeated tonight, with Smooth Deal looking a little too strong for his rivals in the $100,000 Breckon Farms Young Guns Final although Sweet On Me is going to have to overcome a tricky draw in the fillies final but she oozes class. But he has lost his big gun out of the City Of Auckland Free-For-All with Ultimate Machete s huge frame finally giving up on him, with the multiple group one winner suffering suspensory damage which threatens his career. With him out of the race speedsters Star Galleria and Jack s Legend become the two to beat, with the draw suggesting the former is the better bet. Mike had done all the serious work with him before he put him on the plane, Gerard said. He took no time to settle in and we ve just had to keep him ticking over and a bit of striding work this morning. So long as we don t get too much of the rain that s forecast, they ll know he s there. AUCKLAND CUP DAY QUADDIE PREVIEW LEG 1 RACE 7 YOURDEEL was a dominant winner last start at Matamata, he has a nasty draw but has to be included. BAVELLA can t be dropped off the average run, she had no luck last start and should have finished closer, follow your money. ARETHA surprised just about everyone except her connections when winning last start, she can only improve from that. AOTEA LAD though beaten last start by his stablemate he was still making ground at the finish, blinkers go on for this, he is capable of turning the tables. AALAALUNE was the run of the race last start, if she can just settle closer then she is a winning chance, don t risk her. LEG 2 RACE 8 MELODY BELLE has been the benchmark all season, hard to go past her. DANZDANZDANCE deserves another chance, C Grylls is in form and will give her every chance. Last years Derby winner VIN DE DANCE is back to his best, he will be even better this time. ON THE ROCKS has gone to another level lately, WFA makes life tough against the good mares, but he can t be totally overlooked. LEG 3 RACE 9 ELLERSLIE M2 GUNDOWN was ultra impressive when winning the traditional lead up last week, he will be making his move early and the 2 miles will be no issue. CHARLES ROAD is peaking at the right time, he put the writing on the wall when an unlucky 4th last start, hard to beat. VENGEUR MASQUE is an Aussie raider with form at the distance, he races close to the pace and isn t here for a holiday. GLORY DAYS is in irresistible form, she draws wide but drops to a nice place in the weights, goes close. Rougher chance KAMANDA LINCOLN made ground stylishly last start and is sure to have his admirers. LEG 4 RACE 10 VEE CECE will notice the drop in class here, 3KG claim is an assist, she must go in. LORD ARTHUR gets his chance to show his true worth here, and he has been crying out for a middle distance, hard to beat. ROC YA SOX was in need of his last start since returning from a setback, he will be spot on for this.

AWESOME SPEED (5) went her usual honest race last start making the most of a hot mid race speed duel and running on for 3rd, same again. Consider BLACK ART (6) 2nd up in the North Island, asked to do too much last start, better for that, follow your money. TROUBADOR (8) Galloped when being put into the race last start, better than that, each way. THE STUNNING NUN (9) will notice the drop in grade here, should get a good run through, can win.

FORGET THE PRICE TAG (8) was charging home form the back last start, 10 metres closer in the handicaps to that winner and steps up to a more favourable distance, hard to beat. WESTY BOYS (5) kept up a good clip to score last week, not as effective at 2700 metres but is a place chance all the same. GALLEONS VICTORY (7) doing his best at the end of his race last week, better suited by the longer distance here, due a change in luck.

Stablemate KAYLA MARIE (6) is taking a bit of extra time to come up as a 3 year old, she will appreciate the small fi eld, expect better tonight. ZEALAND STAR (8) has yet to do it right handed, he was much better last start after beginning slowly, if he gets it right at the start then he is right in this.

MASSIVE METRO (6) on the other hand is better over the longer journeys, he gets his chance to turn the tables this time. EVERYBODY KNOWS (5) looks to be a chance for a minor placing yet again, he is a foolproof trotter that always trys his best. GERSHWIN (3) has been impressive against lesser opposition at his last couple, he will be suited beginning out wide and can measure up here. HEAVYWEIGHT HERO is regaining his race day fi tness, it was only an early break that cost him fi nishing closer last start, the ace draw is not ideal but he is worth a risk.

STAR GALLERIA (5) was so brave last start, he might have a crack for the lead from this draw, very hard to beat if he fi nds the front. ULTIMATE MACHETE (2) has a much better draw here, he faded after working hard mid stages last time out, expect a form reversal here. TRIPLE EIGHT (4) was knocking them over late last start, he has to be driven that way and is some chance with the run to suit. There are many chances in a very strong fi eld.

LITTLE MISS PERFECT gets her chance from the draw to turn the tables on the favourite, she should cross the pole easily enough and from there she ll be hard to beat. TIFFANY ROSE worked to fi nd the lead last start, making the race for the eventual winner, she can work a bit less from the better draw and hold up the inside if things go her way early, bears close watching. AMAZING DREAM shouldn t be overlooked, she had to make a midrace move on her own in the lead up and even though she has another tricky draw she is good enough to overcome that and be right in the thick of things here.

JESSE DUKE wasn t stopping last week but it was just a sprint home, he ll have to work harder from the horror draw but has continued to improve with racing in the North Island. BETTORSTARTDREAMING took it the All Stars team at the half mile in the prelude, understandably he faded late but will be all the better for that run, the 2700 metres should suit this fellow and he can make his presence felt. DADNDAVE did well to fi nish as close as he did off a 55 second half, Ricky May will give him his chance.

VIRGIL (3) will he hold up the fence when he crosses early on and wait for his stablemate? That is the big question and the key to his best chance, but minors again we think. MACH DA VINCI (4) is in the same situation as the above horse, if he eases out early then he could only hope to place and coming out quickly could leave him with nothing, very interesting fi rst quarter here. PERFECT STRIDE (2) the best he can hope for is to be 3 back on the fence, if so he can defi nitely run 3rd.

STEP UP would have improved after last weeks run but would need to, her best chance is to try and cross over early. DIBABA should make up the same trifecta as last week, she closed resolutely from the back last start and would only have to settle a touch closer to be better than an each way chance here. KENSINGTON KATE can make the most of her good draw and try and cross the pole runner early, if she can lob 3 back the fence then she is a solid place chance from there.

THATGIRLTROUBLE (5) resuming after a couple of Months off, she was good when 2nd at a recent workout, ready to rumble in this. INVICTUS (1) worked his way to a solid win last time, promising and wouldn t have to improve much to be a threat here. SUNNY PEGASUS (6) was much more like it last start in better company, a repeat of that effort takes him close.
