	Born:Fri 6th Jan 2017, bred by Seahorse Racing Lineage:By Dancin out of Of Silver Pistols

Stable comments: – “Was thrilled with the win first up, but he struggled to the line. It’s difficult to line up the form of the Breeders Final against the GP Preludes. Am hoping for a cheque (how old school is that!) here to be honest, but it’s a tough race, and I can make cases for plenty.”

4. Online Nowa Wife	2yo colt from Northdown House, Career earnings: $134,750 Overall rating: Acceptable(42) – Mud-lark

7. Furiosa	2yo filly from Karaka Breeders, Career earnings: $169,111 Overall rating: Satisfactory(47) – Needs space
	Born:Fri 6th Jan 2017, bred by Karaka Breeders Lineage:By Not Too Soon out of Thunder Lady

Stable comments: – “Furiosa will run well but not confident as the needs space style can be tricky. It will be interesting to see how hard they go early. Think that will determine whether my filly finishes in the money or not?”

8. Dodge The Taxman	2yo colt from djs stable, Career earnings: $81,500 Overall rating: Adequate(38) – Natural champion
	Born:Fri 6th Jan 2017, bred by Yorulmaz Lineage:By Bosphorus out of Ressam

Stable comments: – “Dodge The Taxman will need alot of further improvement just to finish in the top five just a runners show and will be doing my best not to finish last in such a hot field. Expect both “Vivacite ” and “Furiosa“to be the hardest to beat but the winning chances don’t end with just them.”

	Born:Fri 13th Jan 2017, bred by Estar Lineage:By Blue Norther out of Shield Rogues

Stable comments: – “Texas Norther is a scion of this stable’s foundation horses. With Homero Outlaw on broad the colt’s long-distance potential should be displayed under his experienced hands.”

12. Green Machine	2yo filly from Jesmans, Career earnings: $286,500 Overall rating: Acceptable(42) – Natural champion
	Born:Fri 6th Jan 2017, bred by Jesmans Lineage:By Im All Green out of Sunline

Stable comments: – “I’ve never done this before written a review of a horse but it’s hard to know she won the first heat do well then went poor last start, all races been in dead tracks and her form line follows previous runs 9,1,9 she might just win haha but I doubt it, might be making up the numbers but worth a shot I say.”

13. Secret Emperor	2yo colt from Dixon Racing, Career earnings: $38,000 Overall rating: Reasonable(50) – Competitive
	Born:Fri 6th Jan 2017, bred by Dixon Racing Lineage:By Secret Aurora out of Secret Union

Stable comments: – “This race was not part of his plans, but with the Epsom looking like a no-show next season, we’ve thrown him in for a run. Emperor is indeed an impressive young horse but to date has not produced on the track. Hoping the change of jockey will kick him into gear and he shows a little more than in his previous races.”

14. Milkybar Kid	2yo colt from KILL BILL, Career earnings: $0 Overall rating: Acceptable(41) – Natural champion
	Born:Fri 13th Jan 2017, bred by KILL BILL Lineage:By Lisco Kid out of Zaratone

	Born:Fri 6th Jan 2017, bred by Seahorse Racing Lineage:By Dancin out of Airy Flush

Stable comments: – “It feels great to be here and to be part of this final. No, we didn’t qualify for it. We weren’t even close, so we will be hugging the outer lane to begin with. Someone has to, right? We don’t mind it. Regarding the race, we’ll try to keep up for as long as possible and then see what’s possible. Being part of an entertaining final is good enough for us this time around. Good luck to all involved!”
