Winning point-to-pointer NT FIELD MINNESOTA is the type to do better now tackling a more suitable trip and the mares' allowance can see her get off the mark. Kalanisi Flash made a fair start over timber on this track and is another winner between the flags while Rowdy Romeo has been racing over further and will be suited by a stamina test. Kansas City Star hasn't made the expected progress after an excellent hurdling debut at Naas last November.
