1

Broadsiding

Brilliant colt who is unbeaten at Randwick and has 3 wins from 5 starts at 1600m. Third to Via Sistina and Prognosis in last year’s G1 Cox Plate (2040m). Resumed with easy first-up win. The one to beat.

2

Swiftfalcon

Emerging talent for in-form stable. Resumed with fast-finishing second to Broadsiding over 1400m at Rosehill last month. Track and distance winner. Unlucky last start and one of the main chances. 

3

Linebacker

Versatile gelding who is best suited when racing on the pace. Placed at Group 1 level and handles all going. Needs to improve on moderate last-start 6th to Broadsiding but a threat at his best. 

4

China Sea

Has won only once but finished third in the G1 Victoria Derby (2500m) behind Goldrush Guru before spelling. In good stable and is capable of sharp improvement after a fading 9th behind Broadsiding when resuming last month.

5

Firm Agreement

Lightly-raced gelding whose best form is on soft ground. Placed at Group 1 at 2000m and certain to be improved by first-up 7th behind Broadsiding. One of the chances.
 

6

Depth Of Character

Much improved effort last start when 2nd over 1600m at Warwick Farm behind Zenmaster after being held up from the 350m to 200m. Has won up to 1400m and handles soft going. This is his hardest test.

7

Our Benefactor

Progressive colt who has earnt a crack at elite level after 3 successive wins in Queensland. Handles all types of going and resumed with brilliant Eagle Farm under a big weight. Impeccable form line and one of the chances.

8

Tenbury Wells

Has struggled since stringing together consecutive wins at Kembla Grange in September. Trialled moderately before resuming with 10th of 10 runners behind Broadsiding in the G2 Hobartville Stakes (1400m) on 22 February. Blinkers back on, but needs to improve.

9

Aeliana

Talented filly trained by Chris Waller and has shown form on all types of going. A dual G3 winner and placed at G1 level, she resumed with an eye-catching third to Broadsiding over 1400m. Definite threat, especially if the conditions are rain-affected.
