Plenty of course and distance winners including Gold Falcon, though his victory in February was the only one so far. Khelino has fared slightly better with a strike-rate of 2-43 and she's been running well enough on Turf to get involved but it's LIBERTY TO ROCK who is handed the vote. He only appears able to produce his form at this venue nowadays, as he did in July, so his most recent runs on Turf are best ignored and he can gain his fifth success on the track. Smoke Charger is still trying to find a race after 19 starts and has yet to finish in a place on Polytrack while Zelos Dream is still a maiden on the surface after a dozen starts.
