None of these have threatened so far but MINORI has finished the closest when beaten just over three lengths over track and trip. The runner-up has won since and James Fanshawe’s filly should be in the mix. King's Knight raced at the same meeting here as the selection and managed fifth while Kettle Hill, Burke And Wills and Kalfu are among those expected to step up from moderate debut efforts. The newcomer Helix is a half-brother to several winners and won’t need to be anything special to get involved.
