OVERVIEW: CAPTAIN CONFETTI (5) is another former New Zealander for connections that is ready to win in Australia following two second places to Blitzern and October Reign before a close-up fifth in the Reg Withers Classic on Kilmore Cup night where he was right behind some of the key chances in Saturday’s Derby at 251/1. He got into trouble in a heat of the Derby last week but can score. ANIMADO (4) trialled well prior to the Northern Region Championship but nothing went right through the series but against his own age can bounce back. DANCEFORME (1) looks the other chance from the draw over SURF ACE (8). EARLY SPEED: 1, 4, 5, 6? RATINGS: 5 / 4 / 1 / 8 / 3 / 7 / 6 / 2

OVERVIEW: CAPTAIN CONFETTI (5) is another former New Zealander for connections that is ready to win in Australia following two second places to Blitzern and October Reign before a close-up fifth in the Reg Withers Classic on Kilmore Cup night where he was right behind some of the key chances in Saturday’s Derby at 251/1. He got into trouble in a heat of the Derby last week but can score. ANIMADO (4) trialled well prior to the Northern Region Championship but nothing went right through the series but against his own age can bounce back. DANCEFORME (1) looks the other chance from the draw over SURF ACE (8). EARLY SPEED: 1, 4, 5, 6? RATINGS: 5 / 4 / 1 / 8 / 3 / 7 / 6 / 2

Race comment
OVERVIEW: CAPTAIN CONFETTI (5) is another former New Zealander for connections that is ready to win in Australia following two second places to Blitzern and October Reign before a close-up fifth in the Reg Withers Classic on Kilmore Cup night where he was right behind some of the key chances in Saturday’s Derby at 251/1. He got into trouble in a heat of the Derby last week but can score. ANIMADO (4) trialled well prior to the Northern Region Championship but nothing went right through the series but against his own age can bounce back. DANCEFORME (1) looks the other chance from the draw over SURF ACE (8). EARLY SPEED: 1, 4, 5, 6? RATINGS: 5 / 4 / 1 / 8 / 3 / 7 / 6 / 2
