Early firmers - Shoot Out; Handsome Zulu; Monaco Consul; & outsider Suyama

Suyama has only shortened because it beat RC in a jumpout. Looks to be ************ all pace in the race. Haven't seen the Kiwis but if they go forward they will be hard to beat I'd imagine.

If Suyama gets up, it'll be the biggest training coup since, well, the last one Bart pulled off!

It's Form is TERRIBLE, it couldn't win a Kembla Grange Class 1 over 2000m.


(Cue Bart putting the blinkers on and it winning by 4 lengths - ha ha)

Two Shoes

Yeah, bit of an unknown factor, the Kiwis. Won't surprise me if they get amongst it. Zabrasive & Rock Classic probably best of the locals.
