Proving consistent and she is threatening to win a race of this magnitude; respected
8 (11)	Believing Bay J:Billy Loughnane T:George Boughey	J:Billy Loughnane T:George Boughey	131	t	223-10	112	128	117	25d	—	—	+9	18	2.75/1	11/1 8%

Unbeaten and smart on AW but 0-5 on turf; not the percentage call
13 (14)	Spy Chief Bay J:Robert Havlin T:John & Thady Gosden	J:Robert Havlin T:John & Thady Gosden	128	—	6212	106	112	100	21d	—	—	+26	29.6	5.50/1	22/1 4%
