1

Romanoff

Slow to begin and he was never in contention when 11L 8th to Well Written at Ellerslie over 1600m. His best form is on heavy tracks.

2

To Bravery Born

He is improving with racing. At his last start he finished 2.83L 7th to Belle Cheval in a G3 over 1400m at Ellerslie. Rough place chance.

3

Well Written

Emerging champion who made it five starts for five wins with her 6.05L win over 1600m on 24 January at Ellerslie. The one to beat.

4

Affirmative Action

He suffered interference at the 300m when 12th to Well Written over 1600m at Ellerslie. Two starts ago he finished close 3rd to the filly so worth thought.

5

La Dorada

She’s won five of her ten starts. At her last start she finished 8.88L 3rd to Well Written over 1600m at Ellerslie. She should be in the finish.

6

Asakura

Lightly raced Victorian-trained gelding. Last start he finished 1.25L 2nd to subsequent Australian Guineas second runner-up Sixties at Flemington. Big chance.

7

Zivou

He put together two wins before racing three wide when 2.23L 6th Belle Cheval over 1400m in a G3. Place claims at odds.

8

He Who Dares

Consistent galloper with a win and four seconds from eight starts. At his last run he finished 6.05L 2nd to Well Written over 1600m. Each-way.

9

Panther

Lightly-raced with a win and three seconds from four starts. Ran on well for 0.44L 2nd to Belle Cheval in a G3 over 1400m after being held up. Chance.

10

L’Aigle Noir

Held up for a run until the 100m when 1.75L 4th to Belle Cheval over 1400m in a G3. One to throw in the multiples at odds.

11

Belle Cheval

She came from off the speed to make it two wins in a row at Ellerslie when she won a 1400m G3 on 21 February. She looks the danger.

12

War Princess

Talented filly with five wins from 10 starts. At her last run she finished 8.89L 4th to Well Written over 1600m at Ellerslie. She has place claims.

13

Lollapalooza

She finished 2nd in a G1 and then 2nd in a G2 before 10.31L 7th to Well Written over 1600m at Ellerslie. She shouldn’t be far away.

14

Convinced

Debut winner over 1200m at Matamata was followed by 2.86L 8th to Belle Cheval in a G3 over 1400m. She will be tested in this company.

Reserves

15

Tomahawk

He’s showing some potential but he will find this much harder than his last 2.5L 2nd in a BM65 at Waipukurau over 1400m on 15 February.

16

Bolli Belle

She’s showing a lot of potential with two starts for two wins at Wanganui and Matamata. She faces a significant class rise here.

17

Burnerphone

She won her maiden two starts ago at Ellerslie before finishing 0.92L 2nd at Matamata also over 1600m. Place claims best.

18

Laura’s Legacy

She was outclassed at her last start when 4.52L 10th in a G3 at Ellerslie over 1400m on 21 February. This is harder.
