G1 – 2400m – Turf
| 1 | Thedoctoroflove | Australian trained stayer who proved too good at his New Zealand debut with a convincing victory in the Avondale Guineas (2100m). Races as if the extra distance will suit even better. |
| 2 | Tuxedo | Outclassed his rivals to win the Waikato Guineas (2000m) easily where he sprinted away from his rivals to win by 3.5 lengths. Take beating. |
| 3 | Bourbon Proof | Racing consistently and has the right form to be a leading chance. Fought on well when last start 0.2L 2nd to Thedoctoroflove in the Avondale Guineas (2100m). Great each-way chance. |
| 4 | Willydoit |
Raced keenly in the early stages and didn’t finish the race off when 4.7L 10th in the Avondale Guineas (2100m). Before that he had won his three previous races. Worth another chance. |
| 5 | Oceana Dream | Finished strongly for 0.5L 3rd to Thedoctoroflove in the Avondale Guineas (2100m). He should be suited by the extra distance after winning over 1600m at this track. One of the better hopes. |
| 6 | Hakkinen | He’s been racing consistently and should be suited by the 2400m. Last start he went forward and held on for 0.7L 4th in the Avondale Guineas (2100m) which is the right form. |
| 7 | Kiwi Skyhawk | Not beaten that far and hasn’t been disgraced in recent runs. Last start 2.1L 7th in the Avondale Guineas (2100m) behind Thedoctoroflove. Needs to improve. |
| 8 | Mustang Morgan | Winner three starts ago over 2100m at this track. Next two starts have been on soft tracks which may not have suited. Last start 4.6L 9th in the Avondale Guineas (2100m) on 22 Feb. |
| 9 | Amazing Fluke | On pacer who finished 8L 3rd to Tuxedo in the Waikato Guineas (2000m) before 0.9L 5th to Thedoctoroflove in the Avondale Guineas (2100m). Can’t be ruled out. |
| 10 | Ayteem | Goes forward and fights on but this is a step up in class. Last start he finished 0.3L 2nd to Hasstobeperfect in a 2200m BM75 at Waverley. Not keen. |
| 11 | Golden Century | Struck interference with 250m to go when he finished 3.1L 8th to Thedoctoroflove in the Avondale Guineas (2100m). Place claims. |
| 12 | Ridefromtheashes | Form has been solid but needs to find a couple of lengths. Last start 1.9L 6th to Thedoctoroflove in the Avondale Guineas (2100m) which was his first try over a longer trip. |
| 13 | Casemiro | Two starts ago he finished an unlucky 0.5L 3rd to Mustang Morgan over 2100m in the Gingernuts Salver here on 12 Jan. Then disappointed when 11.6L 7th to Tuxedo in Waikato Guineas (2000m). |
| 14 | Don Pedro | Fought hard to win his maiden over 2050m at Tauherenikau on 6 Feb. Much harder here but will have some interest at odds. |
| 15 | Grey Area | Broke his maiden status over 2100m at Tauranga two starts ago then he finished 2.1L 10th in a BM 65 over 2100m at Ellerslie. Not keen. |
| 16 | Interplanetary | Never in it when 13.8L 13th behind Thedoctoroflove in the Avondale Guineas (2100m). Easier races a better option and makes no appeal. |
