1. Endless Drama
“The old horse has come back with plenty of residual fitness from Brisbane and he trialled up very well at Te Rapa. He is not out of the race and is going to be a genuine each way chance.”
tony pike, trainer
2. Te Akau Shark
“Te Akau Shark probably trialled better than Melody Belle and heads into the race in really good order.”
Jamie Richards, trainer
3. Authentic Paddy
4. Comeback
“He’s good. He’s drawn well. Even though we did claim the other day, he was still giving up a lot of weight and he ran well. He’s come through the race well and he’ll go a good race as well.”
Debbie rogerson, trainer
5. Seventh Up
6. Southern Icon
7. Helena Baby
“He has got fresh legs and I have no issues with him coming back to 1200m.we are going to ride our own race and not worry about Melody Belle and Te Akau Shark or any of the other top horses.”
John bell, trainer
8. Melody Belle
“Melody Belle, I thought she might have trialled a little bit better, although she got caught down in the worst of the ground. But that will bring her on and she is back in blinkers on Saturday.”
Jamie Richards, trainer
9. Consensus
“She’s an eight-year-old now but she looks fantastic and I’m pleased with her as we get ready for the Foxbridge.”
Stephen Mckee, trainer
10. Santa Monica
11. Sentimental Miss
12. Malambo
“It’s a very good field but she’s drawn well (in barrier four) and I’m expecting a bold run. I’d be over the moon if she could run in the first four.”
Debbie rogerson, co-trainer
