Dividend : $2.00, $1.20
Won
F: 4x575B(8)W(57.0)
( J-Matt Cartwright )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Although only one win from its nine starts, it has been highly tried this campaign, including the fifth in the Derby last time out. That's head and shoulders about anything in the rest of the field and Stephen Marsh will be delighted with this opportunity of another Group race
Main Danger
2 Coulthard
F: 2512B(6)W(57.0)
( J-Jonathan Riddell )
( T-Lisa Latta )
Only the four races to date but does look to have a lot of potential. The photo finish went the wrong way for it in a Stakes race, and was a commanding winner of its maiden prior. Up to 2100m should be perfect
Next Best
10 Shockabella
F: 6471B(1)W(55.0)
( J-Sam Spratt )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Stepped up to 1800m last time and that saw an improved performance and win. Te Akau think they have a good prospect with this filly. Rails draw
Consider
9 Way Out West
F: 13B(10)W(55.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
Nice performances in both runs to date, including winning on debut. Craig Grylls a plus factor but has drawn wide

Won
F: 96461B(11)W(58.0)
( J-Ryan Elliot )
( T-Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )
Not always the most consistent but if running up to its win in the G2 Japan Trophy, will be surely winning. Has a terrific turn of pace and we see no reason why the step up to 2100m will be an issue, given its finishing strength and it was placed in only start over this distance
Main Danger
4 What You Wish For
F: 98615B(2)W(55.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Te Akau runner that won over 2000m two back, beating the subsequent NZ St Leger winner. Finished 4 1/2 lengths behind Waitaki lasy time but will be better now up to 210om

F: 13134B(1)W(56.0)

What a great job Bill Thurlow has done with this 6yo, and it has even surprised him with its performances. Augers well for the future too
Consider
3 Midnight Blue
F: 92247B(8)W(55.5)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
This 8yo is so genuine, it can't be overlooked. Has been running in quality fields and less than five lengths behind El Vencedor last time, and that's been carrying all before it

Place
F: 52840B(9)W(53.0)

Consider
1 Landlock
F: 14252B(1)W(57.0)
