Verdict

WELL WRITTEN (7) won the G1 1000 Guineas at Riccarton without turning a hair, scoring by well over 2 lengths. She drops in weight, and should be far too good here as well. AFFIRMATIVE ACTION (1) was chasing a hat-trick when getting beaten by a nose in the G1 2000 Guineas at Riccarton nearly 6 weeks ago. He is just so tough and will give the top pick plenty to think about in this. THAT'S GOLD (2) has found some really good form recently, and was a big winner of the G3 Bonecrusher Stakes at Pukekohe nearly 3 weeks ago. He may already be looking for more ground, but he can still run top 3 in this. HE WHO DARES (3) tried hard when finishing fifth in the G1 2000 Guineas, and he has had a trial since then. He is up to any in this, and on a good surface, he will be hard to hold out. FAT CAT (6) resumes from a spell, and is capable of figuring in the top 4 at good value.
