Cases can be made for each of these runners. ARASHI and GLASTONBURY have the form and superior experience to challenge for race honours. Debut winners CLAIRWOOD ROSE and ELEGANTRIX have also shown enough to be competitive and remain open to improvement. East Cape raider GOLDEN PALM is not to be underestimated, having made the arduous journey north after a runaway last-start victory. Fellow recent scorer ONE FINE WINTER confirmed the promise of her debut 2nd in a feature against male rivals by winning as she liked over a similar trip last time with a ton in hand. It'll pay to follow her progress!
