Won
F: NoneB(1)W(57.5)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Tough one to start the day, being a 2yo race where six of the eight runners are on debut. And to complicate it further, Stephen Marsh presents three of them. We're liking the chances of his colt. drawn well, it has gone well at the trials and early money has been there for it

Place

( J-Vinnie Colgan )

In two minds about this one because, on the one hand it wasn't far away in all but one of its races last campaign but, they were pretty much all the heavy. The ability is there

Place
F: 9443B(6)W(55.5)
( J-Warren Kennedy )

The Stephen Marsh stable could be in for a good day as this one is also a real chance. Four runs to date and the one four weeks ago was its best. They have now handed the reins to Warren Kennedy

9 Unequivocal
F: 66XB(3)W(55.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
Spelled after two runs at the end of last year. Sure to be better for that experience and looked forward when finishing off nicely to win its trial last week
Consider
2 Hasstobereel
F: 5X29XB(7)W(57.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-James/Wellwood )
Resuming and should run well. The concern is its had twice as many trials as race day starts and that suggests it might have had its troubles

4 Jamaica Farewell
F: 32273B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Joe Doyle )

Had been running well to place over the middle distances until being freshened two months ago. Then ran very well when resuming, back at 1600m,three weeks ago so trainer has kept it at that distance

This 4yo mare won over distance back in July last year but hasn't been in the winners circle since. But recent form has been good and a win is a real possibility
Main Danger
4 Alation
F: 591B(1)W(57.0)

F: 4X13XB(11)W(57.0)
( J-Vinnie Colgan )
( T-Cody Cole )
Clearly will need to be good to win from gate 13 but does look the likely winner to us. Patiently handled with still only the three runs , it put daylight between itself and the opposition when winning in October and sure to have developed during its spell
Main Danger
8 Persiflage
F: 21B(2)W(56.5)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Sam Mynott )
Only inexperience beat it on debut and showed the talent was there when next time. Still learning but progressive and Warren Kennedy takes over. He has a good book of rides

Place
F: 73235B(4)W(57.5)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Has been up against Persiflage in last two starts and we think, on a line through those two runs, this one is better than Goldiluxe. Lost all chance at the start last time but in prior race was right alongside
Main Danger
6 Tempsford
F: 0XB(8)W(57.5)
( J-Vinnie Colgan )
( T-James/Wellwood )
Just the one run, 11 months ago and then spelled. Looked to be a much improved galloper when winning a trial to prepare and the TAB is tight with the odds, a good sign
Next Best
2 Goldiluxe
F: 82X2B(1)W(57.5)
( J-Sam Spratt )

On the pace when resuming and looked the winner until nabbed by Persiflage. Rails draw here and fitter for that run so a big danger
Consider
11 Permissive
F: 5XB(6)W(57.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Richardson/Norvall )

F: 65XB(2)W(57.0)
( J-Masa Hashizume )

Resuming. One trial to prepare and trainer often has her horses ready to go fresh up

9 Bourbon Empress
F: 3B(2)W(56.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )

Pretty impressive first race day run at Matamata, after getting it all wrong in the early stages. Takes improvement and Joe Doyle has been given the reins. Inside draw
Main Danger
11 Cash Treasure
F: 5B(1)W(56.0)
( J-Sam Spratt )
( T-O'Sullivan/Scott )
Debut run in a good field at Taupo 5 weeks ago was full of merit, especially considering it was slow away. Better for the experience and favoured by the rails draw, and the extra 200m, today
