Race 1 Overview

Race experience is so often vital in these races and that gives the advantage to ZULFIQAR (1) who showed a good attitude and plenty of talent when winning the Trial here on debut. Has pace and would think that it is going to take a fairly smart debut performer to peg him back. Have liked the jump outs from AWESTRUCK (9) who looks a natural two-year-old and should give a good account first time out. DIABELLI (3) and EXPOSITION (4) have both trialled up in Sydney. Both look like they will be better further down the line but they turn up for top connections and must be respected. HELLISH (5) is another to have jumped out well.
