Verdict
SIR ALBERT (6) has always been a tough gelding, and he is looking to have his best season yet, franking his top trial form with 2 wins on the bounce to open this prep, including the Listed Spring Classic here over 2000m 18 days ago. The drop back to a mile is no problem, and he is still well in at the weights. The hat-trick beckons. STONYBRECK (9) dropped his jockey at the start here last time out, after leading all the way to win here before that over 1400m by 5 lengths. Stick with him. KOPUA (10) motored home when finishing third at Tauherenikau 11 days ago, and his record here is very good. Stepping back up to a mile is the key, and he can take this out. THE RADIANT ONE (11) was paying overs when third in the Breeder's Stakes here 4 days ago. That form is good enough for this. Stick with her.
Win Only
