Made its debut as a 4yo last October and we've liked the look of it. It's been close up in all five starts and we think it will be even better over this 2000m

Up to middle distance for the first time and, like today, had to overcome a wide draw. Made a good fist of it and clearly will be winning but Rory has the job to do again to get home from out so wide

F: 406x0B(2)W(60.0)
( J-Kevin Stott )

Might have only won the one race but Tony Pike talks of its potential, so one to watch out for. Might have been 10th when resuming but note it was only 3 1/2 lengths off the winner, and will be improved

This 3yo looks very promising, finishing within 3/4 length of the winner in both races to date and having won both trials to prepare. With Craig Grylls riding at the top of his game, it has to be the Top Pick

From a stable in hot form and less than three lengths behind Mulan Ardeche at Taupo three weeks ago
Hard to oppose this trainer/jockey combination with Rory riding in such fine form. And this one was very unlucky not to win at Tauranga last time, with the nod going against it after it came out of a wide draw
