CELTIC SPY (2) found a couple marginally better when returning from a layoff last start over 5f at this track after being prominent throughout. Finds a tougher race but he has the talent to test this line-up. PORTICO (1) has been in the placings two times from three starts in this maiden campaign, the latest as favourite over 5f at this track when 0. 7 lengths from the winner. Not far off a win and he is a real danger. OUR EMPEROR (11) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott. By Stay Inside from Our Crown Mistress. Proved too sharp in a recent Randwick trial. Any push in betting should be respected. JESSENYA (14) is a daughter of Proisir from the mare Temolie. Cost NZD $ 300,000 (NZB 2025 Karaka - Book 1) as a yearling. Will be improved off a trial placing. Profiles well, watch betting but could measure up.
