Just the type of galloper you'd like to have in your stable, having been in the first three in ten of 14 starts, and beaten by the nod of the head in a photo finish here last week. Extra 200m today should see it get greet the judge

1 Coney Island
F: X7122B(9)W(60.0)

A good winner at Whanganui two back, it was finishing to good effect at Hawera last time, after being slow away. It has drawn the outside so will have to come late again but the big Wellington straight will suit
