Struggled on the testing ground at Trentham last time and if that doesn’t take the stuffing out of him he must go very well here

Going well this fella with a dominant lead all the way over 3000m a fortnight ago. Will race on speed and very tough and honest

10 Patsys Lass
F: 78x04B(8)W(56.0)
( J-Terry Moseley )
( T-Eamonn Green )
Good fourth at Ashburton over the mile and looks ready for 2000m. A must include in multiples
Can’t fault his form winning 3 from 4 this prep and only defeat was a strong second against race pattern. Very good winning the Sarten which is usually the key lead up form and looks very hard to beat

F: 32x13B(3)W(55.0)
( J-Matt Cartwright )

I think it’s the right year for a filly to tackle the boys. Hit the line well for third in the Soliloquy
Next Best
3 He's Lucid
F: x3341B(1)W(57.0)
( J-Lily Sutherland )
( T-Kevin Myers )
A bottomless track to win here last time but seems to be the horse peaking at the right time from a very smart stable
Consider
2 So Naive
F: 9x124B(6)W(57.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Bruce Wallace & Grant Cooksley )
Battled away in the Sarten after a win and second both in Guineas lead ups. I think his best chance if he leads here

Place
F: 43275B(8)W(57.0)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-Graeme & Debbie Rogerson )
He could be the improver up to the mile. Has been looking for more ground and could be the one to add value to exotics
