Kinnaird

Sat back and then finished strongly along the rails for 1L 1st in the G2 Eclipse Stakes (1200m) at Ellerslie, 1 January to make it two from two. Hard to beat.

2

Out Of The Blue

He won his first two starts then was unlucky when 1.5L 3rd to Lassified at Trentham on 3 January over 1100m as he was held up for a run with 100m to go.

7

Torture

Australian-trained filly who won the Listed Debutant Stakes (1000m) at Caulfield on 15 October then 4.5L 4th at Geelong on 3 January over 1100m. Go close.

8

9

Dream Roca

Brisbane trained filly who impressed with her easy 2.05L win at Eagle Farm over 1000m on 13 December. Worth following.

10

Dashing Dixie

One start for a win in a four-horse field when she led throughout to win by 0.5L at Te Rapa over 1100m on 13 December. Chance to repeat it.

11

Stromlinien

She impressed at her debut when she came from last and also had to overcome interference when 0.21L win over 1200m on 11 January here.

12

Vanzadee

Another Australian-trained starter. After she finished 4th at her debut at Eagle Farm, she won a Sunshine Coast 2YO Maiden (1000m) on 26 December. Worth consideration.

13

14

She’s No Saint

She’s been placed at her two starts with a 2nd in a 2YO Maiden here followed by a good effort when 0.3L 3rd at over 1100m on 26 December here.

Reserves

15

State The Obvious

She followed her debut fourth with a win by 0.8L on a heavy track at Te Aroha on 3 January. Might need similar conditions.

16

Singletary

Colt who made an impressive debut when 0.2L 2nd to Stromlinien on 11 January here. Needs to keep improving in this field.
