Prize Money: $18,450

FINAL APPEAL (1) represents the powerful stable of Karl Burke who provides their first juvenile runner of the season. Related to a winner and must be taken very seriously. WHERE LOVE LIVES (9) is by Cotai Glory out of a dam who won over this distance as a two-year-old. Not a cheap purchase relative to this field. Respect. The most expensive runner in the field is THEBESTHASYETOCOME (6) who is by Starman. Provided a fabulous year as a stallion last season and is well worth a market check. Tim Easterby had a fine season last year and RBFLYING (4) is his first choice. Related to winners and one to note.
