Ellerslie Race 2 - ELSDON PARK 1200
KING'S ENGLISH (3) showed what he is all about when putting it all together at Te Aroha just over 6 weeks ago, scoring by well over 5 lengths without being asked for a supreme effort. There is more depth to this field, but he is still improving, and he can win again. LUBECK (4) was a beaten favourite in the Listed O'Learys Stakes at Whanganui last start and has been given time to get over that effort. She had won a trial before that run and may not have coped with the short gap leading into her last effort. Stick with her. LUCY IN THE SKY (5) won twice as a juvenile form only 3 starts, and looked to be a smart type that could go on with it as a 3-year-old. She resumes with 3 trials under her belt, and has to be respected fresh up. CONFESARA (8) and COSMIC DREAM (9) are a pair of last start winners from the James/Wellwood stable, and they both have the scope to keep improving. Include.

Finished eighth two runs ago in the G3 Bonecrusher Stakes at Pukekohe but found form last time out when he scored by 0.8 lengths over 1200m at Trentham. Ideally drawn on the fence. Worth including.

Progressive colt. Got off the mark last time with a 6 length victory over 1150m at Te Aroha. Sure to measure up here.

Ran a couple of nice races to kick off this preparation and then relished getting out to 1200m last start when she won at Te Rapa. Rock-hard fit and a genuine chance again.
