   ( J- Masa Hashizume )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Bruce Wallace & Grant Cooksley )

  Won

  F: x8431   B(5)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- David Greene )

  Trainer in form and he looks to have a talented stayer here. Stepped up to 2100m at Ellerslie last time and it made no mistake. Was only 3 1/2 lengths away in the Derby last March

  Main Danger

  

  4 Allaces  

  F: 32162   B(4)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Lynsey Satherley )

  2 Tenfoot Tall  

  F: 65263   B(10)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Michael McNab )

   ( T- Vicki Prendergast )

  Has always been held in good regard and now up over the middle distances, looks likely to develop into a good handicapper. Saw out the 2600m last time so this 2400m well within its capability

  Consider

  

  7 Interplanetary

  Place

  F: 84812   B(6)  W(55.5)

  10 Faultless  

  F: 58432   B(3)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Matthew Cameron )

   ( T- Peter & Shaun McKay )

  Could surprise them. Only a one time winner, it steps up out of its class today but the trainers are astute, and we're sure they will have liked its first run over ground last time

  Place

  F: 1   B(1)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Joe Doyle )

   ( T- Shaune Ritchie & Colm Murray )

  8 Showgirl  

  F: 42   B(2)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- Lance Noble )

  Consider

  

  4 Texas Cowboy  

  F: 6x16   B(4)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Erin Leighton )

   ( T- Danica Guy )

  Stepped up to the Hawkes Bay Guineas over this distance last time, after winning on debut, and when you look at the first two home, it was a pretty decent field

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  Was a 14 start maiden, with four seconds, until winning its first race three weeks ago at Hastings. that will give it a lot of confidence and you often see this scenario where they go on to win again

  11 Ocean Rules  

  F: x4603   B(8)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  12 Reliable Squeeze  

  F: 107x4   B(7)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Samantha Collett )

  Consider

  

  7 Wee Nessy  

  F: 012x3   B(4)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Joe Doyle )

   ( T- Barbara Kennedy )

   ( J- Jack Taplin )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  10 El Viento  

  F: 243x9   B(8)  W(55.0)

  F: 80344   B(5)  W(55.5)

   ( J- Samantha Collett )

  Place

  F: x0683   B(4)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- Danny Walker & Arron Tata )

  Classy galloper that will be better for its third place behind Top Shelf ten days ago. Warren Kennedy returns to the saddle today and steps up to 2000m for the first time, which we think will be ideal

  Main Danger

  

  10 Top Shelf
