Verdict

OBSERVER (1) just over three weeks between runs when he stalked the fast tempo to finish a courageous third over 1 ¼m in the G1 Rosehill Guineas. Can take control early from the wide gate and attempt to repeat his all-the-way win in the Victorian Derby last November. GREEN SPACES (3) gradually working up to his right trip fourth-up and like the closed late to finish second in the Rosehill Guineas. Held in high regard by the stable and shapes as the main danger. STORM LEOPARD (5) bounced off his unlucky Vobis Guineas fifth, with a dominant win over 1 ¼m at Rosehill in the G2 Tulloch Stakes last Saturday. Berry has been bullish all week, and not without top-four claims. ROAD TO PARIS (2) from an astute NZ yard and comes here after scoring a breathtaking victory over 1 ½m in the G1 New Zealand Derby at Ellerslie. Is a month between runs heading into this with the blinkers going on. Hard to ignore with Purton aboard. DEAL DONE FAST (4) Victorian Derby placed last year, keep safe.
