KINNAIRD (1) failed to fire a shot as the favourite in the million-dollar Karaka Millions 2YO Stakes, and he never left the rear. He had won 2 on the bounce before that, including an impressive G2 win at Ellerslie in his penultimate start. He is expected to bounce straight back into the winner's circle here. HARVEY WALLBANGER (2) has been runner-up 3 times in a row since an impressive debut win at Ellerslie in the spring. He has a good gate and is one of the main dangers to the top pick. Stick with him. OUT OF THE BLUE (3) cost himself any chance of winning by racing greenly in the Karaka Millions at Ellerslie 3 weeks ago. He will appreciate racing in an anti-clockwise direction again, and from a better draw than last time, he can make amends. Each way. INCANDESCENT (4) cruised home to score on debut at Ellerslie, and then battled on gamely for fourth against a few of his rivals here last time out. He has the pole position and can figure in the top 4. JUSTIN CASE (5) is a top 4 hope.
