Evaporate

Top class Australian galloper who has the form to win this. Last spring he finished 3rd in the G1 Caulfield Guineas (1600m) behind Private Life and Feroce. He tired at his last start when he was 1.8L 4th to Mr Brightside in the G1 Futurity Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield on 22 Feb.

2

Public Attention

Classy Australian galloper. He resumed from a spell with a win in the G3 Eskimo Prince Stakes (1200m) at Randwick. Then last start he led and tired when 1.8L 4th to Broadsiding in G2 Hobartville Stakes (1400m) at Rosehill on 22 Feb.

3

Checkmate

Lightly raced and he’s showing talent with 3 wins from his 6 starts. Slow to begin at his last run when he finished 1.5L 4th to Sethito in the Listed Uncle Remus Stakes (1400m) at this track on 22 Feb.

4

Penman

Talented galloper who has won his past 3 starts after finishing 2nd at his first 2. He overcame difficulties to win his last start here in a BM75 over 1400m on 22 Feb.

5

Domain Ace

Not far away when 2.5L 4th to Savaglee in the G2 Levin Classic (1400m) at Trentham two starts ago. Go on that run rather than last race 10.3L 3rd to Penman over 1400m at Tauranga.

6

Sought After

Showing talent with two wins from his five starts including his last start victory over 1200m at Ellerslie on 12 Jan. Big step up in distance.

7

Perfumist

Sydney filly racing in great fashion putting together four wins on end before her last start 1.4L 2nd to More Territories in a BM78 at Randwick on 15 Feb.

8

Damask Rose

She finished strongly to win the Karaka Millions 3YO (1600m) impressively at her last start at this track on 25 Jan. She’s one of the leading local chances.

9

Pivotal Ten

Big watch. She’s the star of the South Island and confirmed her slot with an all the way 8.8L romp in the Southland Guineas (1400m) at Ascot Park on 15 Feb, making it five wins on end.

10

Sethito

Lightly raced and has claims on her last start tough win in the Listed Uncle Remus Stakes (1400m) at this track on 22 Feb. She has won three of her past four starts and her only loss was 0.1L 2nd in the G2 Eight Carat Classic (1600m) here.

11

Ardalio

Backmarker with ability. Two starts ago she won the G3 Almanzor Trophy over 1200m at Ellerslie. Then last start she came from last to finish 2.3L 6th to Legarto in the Champagne Stakes (1400m) on 15 Feb at Matamata.

12

Hankee Alpha

Not much luck last start as she was held up in the concluding stages when she finished 2.3L 5th to Sethito in the Listed Uncle Remus Stakes (1400m) here on 22 Feb. Has claims.

13

First Dance

She will find this harder than her last start 5th in a BM 65 (1400m) at Matamata. There are much easier races for her at this stage of her career.

14

Zormella

Lightly-raced and displaying talent. She’s well-bred and looks to have a bright future. She broke her maiden status with an easy win at Pukekohe last start over 1400m. Place claims.

Reserves

15

Class

Lightly raced and he's building up a good record with a win, two seconds and two thirds from six starts. Tried to lead throughout when 0.6L 3rd to Risque Ruler in the Sir Patrick Hogan Karapiro Classic (1600m) at Te Rapa on 8 Feb. Place claims.

16

Hard Roca

Unlucky last start when he finished 1.3L 4th in a BM65 at Matamata over 1400m on 15 Feb. Find this harder in much tougher class of opposition.

17

Tristar

Forgive her last start last in a field of 10 in the Listed Uncle Remus Stakes (1400m) at Ellerslie as she was held up for a run for the straight. She won a BM65 before that over 1200m at Tauranga. Query in this class.

18

Moschino

On pacer who has struck form having won her past two starts which were a maiden at Te Rapa and then a 1400m at Matamata. She faces a significant class rise but could be worth following.
