Spirit Of Ardsley to take up the running at a moderate tempo. CONISTON (3) had won 3 trials leading up to a modest effort fresh up for seventh when starting as a warm favourite. He did himself no favours that day by racing greenly throughout. He would have derived plenty of benefit from that run, and can set the record straight in this. CONCURRENCE (4) makes his debut after some handy trials. He may want more ground soon enough, but with plenty of breeding to live up to, he will be ready to rumble on his home track. VODKA AND CAVIAR (8) was put aside after an encouraging effort on debut in her sole run as a juvenile. She will be stronger now, and with a couple of trials under her belt, she is worth including in all combos. POWHIRI (6) resumed and was out-paced in the Whanganui Guineas just over 2 weeks ago, but from the pole position in a far weaker lineup, she can be a rapid improver. SUGGESTED PLAY: Coniston can win this.
