  Place

  F: 24447   B(6)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Chad Ormsby )

  Although seventh last start, was less from 3 1/2 lengths from a promising type. We know this trainer brings them to the races ready to win

  F: 44603   B(4)  W(58.5)

   ( T- Tony Pike )

  Better drawn today and capable of winning this. The only concern is that the Tony Pike stable isn't really firing at the moment

  5 Rocky Marciano  

  F: 78238   B(5)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Joe Doyle )

   ( T- Peter & Shaun McKay )

  Not too far behind checkmate in a good maiden last time, and that one is being talked about as a Derby prospect

  Consider

  

  1 Nozumi  

  F: 202   B(8)  W(58.5)

  6 Ivy's Dancer  

  F:   B(1)  W(55.5)

   ( J- Masa Hashizume )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  Has to be a big chance with this stable's current run rate. Clearly capable, having won its first trial back in September. That was in the Heavy and will do better on these firmer track conditions. Rails draw and Masa up

  F: 20x10   B(7)  W(60.0)
