Race comment
Last year's New Zealand Cup winner SWAYZEE (11) makes his first appearance of the season. Hasn't raced since he placed in the Inter Dominion Final in Brisbane last December but he usually races well fresh including three wins and was readied with a trial. He is two from two at this circuit and distance and has only once been beaten in six appearances here. He has the class to overcome the wide draw for a first-up win. Stablemate NERANO (10) has been freshened since a midfield finish from a tough draw in the Merino Cup at Goulburn. Had won his previous two outings here and strikes at 50 per cent at this distance. Could challenge. MAX DELIGHT (9) beat Nerano when winning the Renshaw Cup three back at Penrith and again beat that rival home in the last outing at Goulburn. Kept up to the mark with a trial since. Player. SIMPLY SAM (6) stepped up in grade and continued his good form when beaten a head last week. Draws wider but he is racing well.

Race comment
Last year's New Zealand Cup winner SWAYZEE (11) makes his first appearance of the season. Hasn't raced since he placed in the Inter Dominion Final in Brisbane last December but he usually races well fresh including three wins and was readied with a trial. He is two from two at this circuit and distance and has only once been beaten in six appearances here. He has the class to overcome the wide draw for a first-up win. Stablemate NERANO (10) has been freshened since a midfield finish from a tough draw in the Merino Cup at Goulburn. Had won his previous two outings here and strikes at 50 per cent at this distance. Could challenge. MAX DELIGHT (9) beat Nerano when winning the Renshaw Cup three back at Penrith and again beat that rival home in the last outing at Goulburn. Kept up to the mark with a trial since. Player. SIMPLY SAM (6) stepped up in grade and continued his good form when beaten a head last week. Draws wider but he is racing well.

Race comment
Last year's New Zealand Cup winner SWAYZEE (11) makes his first appearance of the season. Hasn't raced since he placed in the Inter Dominion Final in Brisbane last December but he usually races well fresh including three wins and was readied with a trial. He is two from two at this circuit and distance and has only once been beaten in six appearances here. He has the class to overcome the wide draw for a first-up win. Stablemate NERANO (10) has been freshened since a midfield finish from a tough draw in the Merino Cup at Goulburn. Had won his previous two outings here and strikes at 50 per cent at this distance. Could challenge. MAX DELIGHT (9) beat Nerano when winning the Renshaw Cup three back at Penrith and again beat that rival home in the last outing at Goulburn. Kept up to the mark with a trial since. Player. SIMPLY SAM (6) stepped up in grade and continued his good form when beaten a head last week. Draws wider but he is racing well.

Race comment
Last year's New Zealand Cup winner SWAYZEE (11) makes his first appearance of the season. Hasn't raced since he placed in the Inter Dominion Final in Brisbane last December but he usually races well fresh including three wins and was readied with a trial. He is two from two at this circuit and distance and has only once been beaten in six appearances here. He has the class to overcome the wide draw for a first-up win. Stablemate NERANO (10) has been freshened since a midfield finish from a tough draw in the Merino Cup at Goulburn. Had won his previous two outings here and strikes at 50 per cent at this distance. Could challenge. MAX DELIGHT (9) beat Nerano when winning the Renshaw Cup three back at Penrith and again beat that rival home in the last outing at Goulburn. Kept up to the mark with a trial since. Player. SIMPLY SAM (6) stepped up in grade and continued his good form when beaten a head last week. Draws wider but he is racing well.
