HUGE clash in the Waikato Guineas at Te Rapa tomorrow - the Derby favourite vs the Oaks favourite.

1 1121 Ocean Park 2 85 56.5 Chad Ormsby Gary Hennessy, Matamata
2 12542 Shuka 7 80 56.5 Hayden Tinsley Peter & Dawn Williams, Byerley Park
3 32115 St Mark 5 70 56.5 Matthew Cameron John Sargent, Matamata
4 94656 Mustang 1 69 56.5 Shohei Shirahama (a) David Miller, Tauranga
5 02312 Guess What 3 65 56.5 Jonathan Riddell Paul Shailer, Matamata
6 15034 Viking Ace 4 65 56.5 Cameron Lammas Karyn McQuade, Matamata
7 25361 Barney 9 63 56.5 Craig Grylls Anne Herbert, Cambridge
8 X5610 Sacred Knight 8 61 56.5 Sam Spratt Stephen McKee, Ardmore
9 2131 Silent Achiever 6 82 54.5 James McDonald Roger James, Cambridge

If Silent Achiever wins, she's going to the Derby instead of the Oaks.

Rock 'n' Pop and Knight's Tour are still my Derby horses at the moment, but I'll watch this race with interest.

Shuka's a really nice horse as well - keeps running 2nd, 3rd and 4th in all the big races.
