F: 49B(8)W(58.0)
( J-Masa Hashizume )

4 Magic Carpet
F: 33168B(11)W(57.5)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Stephen Marsh runner resuming, having won the Hawkes Bay Guineas in its last campaign. Sure to have matured during its spell and should have too much class for these
Main Danger
5 First Dance
F: 05225B(1)W(57.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Lance Noble )
Although its performance record reads well, we think it has promised more but not quite delivered. Has to be a strong chance to be in the places here though
Next Best
9 Bonifleur
F: 64X31B(2)W(54.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )

F: 207X0B(2)W(56.5)
( J-Corentin Berge )

F: 15X94B(7)W(56.5)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Already a winner of one race from just 5 starts, we thought it was a certainty beaten last time when it simply could get a run until too late. Opie takes the reins now
Main Danger
4 New Castle
F: 9X441B(5)W(59.0)
( J-Sam McNab )

F: 80106B(6)W(60.0)

( J-Samantha Collett )

Close up in last two runs and now in-form Sam Collett rides. Won its maiden here in November
