Unbeaten in NZ with three impressive wins at Addington. At short odds to deliver here first time but perhaps 3 Hey driver Top2 is a better bet.
Selections: 2-3-1-7
Returns to this track as a far better dog & has had time to prepare for this. 7 Big Time Atlas is clearly needed in the quadrella.
Selections: 5-7-8-3
Got close to 4 Big Time Thrill a fortnight ago & had a genuine excuse last Friday so his long odds are tempting.
Selections: 3-4-5-7
Hot favourite looking for four straight. Moves away from the rail but she’s been good from this trap in the past. Anchor.
Selections: 4-7-8-3
Drawn wider than what she’s used too but worth the risk on recent efforts in stronger fields. She beat the two favourites home on merit here last week.
Selections: 8-4-7-5
Nothing went right for the five-time group one champion last Friday. He’s not fully at ease in box 1 but expecting him to bounce back immediately nonetheless. 3 Caterpie Bale returns to this track in stunning 525m form at Addington. Fascinating battle.
Selections: 1-3-5-4
Unbeaten in two prior visits here. Outstanding second in a fast time to the south’s current best eight nights ago. Eeven Cup heat.
Selections: 5-1-6-8
Is the benchmark stayer in NZ at present but he’s very short for his first run on the track especially facing the dog that beat him last start in 8 Know Defence.
Selections: 4-8-6-3
Two-time group one winner beyond 700m including one on this track. Will be finishing stronger than the other favourite 7 Johnny Football & others might be too.
Selections: 8-5-4-7
Has terrific early speed. Swamped here a fortnight ago but still wasn’t far away in sixth. Worth the risk at the quote in an incredibly open field.
Selections: 2-4-3-8
Not at her best but has been racing well enough in stronger fields to take this out. 3 Big Time Morant downgrades & will be fitter for his two recent runs against hot fields. Quaddie cover.
Selections: 7-3-8-6
Actually happy to see her away from the rail. Has had a run over 520m here in May. Each way in a tricky field. Need a few in the quad.
