GREAT HOUSE- He's a pretty consistent contender. His Hotham win last year got him a Melbourne Cup berth (where he finished midfield). Comes here rock hard fit.
HUETOR- He’s the one with the upside. He's stepped up to Gr.2 level in the Hollindale and ran a solid 4th. Ran the best splits from the 800-400m and may have just taken it’s toll late. He gets to better ground and ready to peak 3rd up to 2100m. McEvoy rides for Snowden and respects any money that comes for him race day.
MAXIMAL- Needs to improve immensely off recent efforts.
ESTI FENY- Just been midfield in recent Gr.3 and Listed races. Haven’t been bad efforts for easier races but should be well outclassed in a race like this at WFA. Might just be sending him around with a target more like an Ipswich cup in mind.
POLLY GREY- She is many lengths better on wet ground and has had the best preparation of her life because she’s been on heavy ground in six of her last seven runs. She could land in exotics without surprise but I expect her to keep drifting in the market as the track firms up.
COVENTINA BAY- Has an outstanding record in New Zealand but hasn’t fired in Queensland her last couple of trips. Last year she was racing over unsuitable trips so maybe you could be forgiving. She went back to NZ and won a couple of Gr.1s. She got everything to suit in the Hollindale and was just a pass mark again. A similar effort would have her around the top 4-5 again but I don’t have her as a winning hope.
