The Reaper ran a fair race behind Triple Eight at Gowran and can improve again but this generally goes to Ballydoyle who have two entries. TREASURE BEACH is the mount of Johnny Murtagh and this son of Galileo out of a 1m-1m2f winner looks the pick at this stage though don't be surprised if the Oasis Dream colt Rudolf Valentino, who cost a fortune and is related to some very useful performers, turns out to be the better of the pair. Green Warrior is another for the future while Longhunter has an ideal pedigree for this trip and should have plenty of early pace.
