FIRST SETTLER (4) won his first two starts in solid fashion before resuming off a short break and giving Growing Empire a race. Ultimately that horse proved too classy and has since gone within half a head of winning a G1 Manikato Stakes. Should go close. RESERVE BANK (7) has done nothing wrong in two wins to date. He'll need to improve again but looks capable of doing so. BODYGUARD (2) resumes off a 6.3 length trial win. He was good against some of the best 2yos last season and must be respected. TARPAULIN (5) was poor in the Rosebud last time behind Gatsby's but has ability and can bounce back. BITTERCREEK (1) is a very nice colt who brings the Broadsiding form. Fancy 1100m is on the sharp side, but he's plenty talented.

    Going well. Last start 2nd of 10 at this track in the LR Poseidon Stakes on September 14 over 1100m, on a slow track; 1.3 len behind Growing Empire with 57kg at $6. The start before that ran on from midfield and won by a neck at this track 2yo Hcp July 20 over 1000m in soft going defeating Landmark carrying 58kg at $1.90. Brings the coveted Growing Empire form and that will take a power of beating.
