From a remarkable G1 event we just drop back to a BM78 for the closer. 2 and 4 can lead the way. COLUMBIA BLUE has been very consistent bar one day he missed the start x 4L and finished unplaced. Defeats this prep only narrow and he does meet EXIT FEE a couple of kilos better off here as Nash goes back aboard. We don't have irrefutable proof just yet that HIDRIX is a 'good horse' but he did some promising things as a 2YO and the grey comes in off soft trials and gets plum run for J Mac. ANNIE'S ROSE is unbeaten on Soft going even though you would prefer her at Rosehill.
