F: 2221B(3)W(58.5)

Three times runner up in first three runs ... and progressed then to a massive win here two weeks ago. That had the hallmarks of a good horse in the making, Wide barrier draw, coming from the back, wide out and kicking clear. Will rise through the grades

8 Rule Of Law
F: 3167B(1)W(58.0)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Walker/Bergerson )
Te Akau runner that caught the eye winning at only second start last October. Highly tried in Stakes races in two runs since and now resuming after break. This easier and rails draw to assist

2 Prise De Fer
F: 20270B(3)W(60.0)
