1

Desert Lightning

Impressive in consecutive wins at this distance; latest beating odds-on favourite Legarto on 27 January. Has pace, drawn one.

2

Puntura

Seeks fourth straight win after G1 Thorndon Mile (1600m) success on 20 January. Won trial 13 February. Can be ridden forward or back.

3

Aegon

Wide and over-raced when failed in G1 Zabeel Classic (2050m) on 26 December after fast finishing 1.4L 4th to Desert Lightning in G1 TAB Classic at this distance on 9 December.

4

Callsign Mav

Typically honest on-pace effort when 2L 3rd to Bonny Lass in G1 BCD Group Sprint (1400m) on 10 February and that race always good guide to this.

5

Ladies Man

G1 Livamol Classic winner at 2040m last year. Made late ground when placed at 1400m on heavy ground at first run this year.

6

El Vencedor

Solid on-pace effort when 1.3L 2nd to Puntura in G1 Thorndon Mile on 20 January. Likes soft ground.

7

Chase

Freshened up and back in trip after disappointing 9th in G3 Trentham Stakes (2100m) on 13 January. Likes soft ground.

8

La Crique

Ran on well when 2.1L 4th to Belclare in G2 Westbury Classic (1400m) on 27 January at first run this year. Second this race last year.

9

Belclare

Sound on-pace win in the G2 Westbury Classic (1400m) on 27 January. Consistent and extra 200m no issue.

10

Lady Telena

Good 3rd to rivals Puntura and El Vencedor in G1 Thorndon Mile before excusable run in G1 Herbie Dyke Stakes at 2000m.
