Anyone who witnessed NORTH AMERICA streaking to his sixth track victory in Round One of this series will not want to miss him here. Satish Seemar's charge won this race a year ago before going on to victory in the Group 1 Final and could hardly have been more impressive on his reappearance, making all and coming home virtually alone in a very fast time. He's 8lb clear in the ratings of next best Cosmo Charlie, who arrives in excellent form having beaten today's rival New Trails 7l in a Listed contest in December though was a long way behind the selection last March. New Trails followed that defeat by landing a lucrative handicap by over 10l and is only lightly-raced so probably has more to offer but the remainder look up against it.
