| What | Avondale Races |
| Where | Avondale Jockey Club – 2-48 Ash St, Auckland, New Zealand |
| When | Saturday, June 3, 2023 |
| First Race | 11:15pm NZST |
The Avondale Jockey Club is set to host a 10-race card on Saturday on a track that will be rated around a Heavy 10. The first race begins at 11:15am (NZST).
Best Bet at Avondale: Diomedes
Diomedes gained a well-deserved maiden win over 1600m last start when sent out as the favourite with betting sites following an unlucky close-up third. He will have no problem handling the Heavy going here and, with Ryan Elliot in the saddle, looks well placed to go back-to-back.
Best Bet
Race 9 – 
#2 Diomedes (16)
4yo Gelding | T: Kurtis Pertab | J: Ryan Elliot (58.5kg)
Next Best at Avondale: Hutson
Hutson will strip a lot fitter having finished second over this distance last start in what was her second run back from a spell. None of her rivals have recorded any top-three form and it’s hard to see any of them troubling her in the run to the line.
Next Best
Race 7 – 
#10 Hutson (4)
3yo Filly | T: Team Rogerson | J: Sam Spratt (55.5kg)
Best Value at Avondale: Shadez
Shadez recorded a solid maiden win last start on a Heavy track over 2100m. Despite going up in grade this weekend, she is expected to handle the rise. Warren Kennedy is back in the saddle and will give this Stephen Marsh-trained mare every opportunity to repeat the dose.
Best Value
Race 10 – 
#9 Shadez (6)
4yo Mare | T: Stephen Marsh | J: Warren Kennedy (58.5kg)
