A very good 2yo for David Walsh to have in his stable when returning to training and it looks like picking up the bulk of the $80k on offer here today. Drawn well, it beat another good youngster in Best Rose by 5 1/2 lengths over this distance three weeks ago

( J-Ruvanesh Muniandy )

Three lengths behind Pivotal on Boxing Day ultimately proved to be a good performance. was spelled after that and came out and won the Dunedin Guineas when resuming. Looked much improved and could be pretty smart
Main Danger
4 Kellanzor
F: 2151B(9)W(56.5)
( J-Samantha Wynne )

Two wins from four starts and another example of Samantha Wynne's training skills. This tougher but Sam also rides and it has been favoured in the draw

Place
F: 62278B(16)W(56.5)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-Lisa Latta )
Has been behind Leica Lucy in its last four runs, all Group races, and noticeable how much closer it was over the 1600m, as opposed to middle distances. Gets back to that distance and would probably be winning, but for drawing gate 22
Consider
10 Mille Grazie
F: 13B(14)W(56.5)

Down from the north and it takes a good galloper to win on debut. This filly did so it's a shame it too has drawn so wide

( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Sharon Robertson And Alan Reeves )
Joe Doyle has had success here with this one before and will get every chance of doing so again from gate 2. Considered good enough to run in a G1 at Te Rapa in February and wasn't far off El Vencedor. That form wins this
Main Danger
2 Our Echo
F: 11715B(14)W(57.5)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-Danny Frye )
Has been one of the best gallopers around down here since the beginning of the year and, although it's drawn wide, we don't think there's a lot of depth in the field and its class can overcome that

1 Perfect Scenario
F: 80522B(10)W(60.0)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Prolific winner of 11 races, and this Te Akau 7yo has won four of them here. Will be spot on and booking on in-form George Rook puts it in here with a great chance

4 Family Ties
F: 74149B(5)W(59.5)
( J-Ace Lawson-Carroll )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Won here three back in a R75 so its mark of improvement this campaign can be seen in that it was less than four lengths behind Epee Beel in a G3 last time. Back to R75, has to be the one to beat
Main Danger
3 Moussaieff
F: 4x112B(1)W(61.0)
( J-Donovan Cooper )
( T-Kezia Murphy )
With two wins recently, it now has a record of four from just 11 starts. Has really gone well this preparation and rails draw gives it a good winning chance again

Not far away from Family Ties three back and running well since. Inside draw and in-form jockey takes the reins today
