( J-Emily Farr )
( T-Gail Temperton )
Signalled its wellbeing when winning its steeplechase return at Whanganui 4 weeks ago and looks likely to be in for a good season. The question mark is to how good that field was, so this looks tougher

This 8yo could be the giant killer if the track does get very testing. Second up, it will eventually want further but can sprint well while still fresh. 5 time winner in the Heavy

Judging by its resuming run, when beaten just over 1/2 length, Kevin Myers has worked the oracle on yet another one. In-form Whanganui jockey takes over
