Verdict
Jim Bolger usually has his team well forward and won this last year. Finsceal Go Deo is by Kingman out of the dual 1000 Guineas winner Finsceal Beo who has produced several winners. Midnight Toker, a very expensive purchase, is a half-brother to two winning sprinters while Ocean Quest is a very speedily-bred filly by first-season sire Sioux Nation out of a mare who produced a three-times 5f winner with her first offspring. Borletti cost 87,000gns and the son of Kodiac is out of a mare who produced a 7f winner with her first offspring while FORCEFUL SPEED cost 260,000gns and connections will want to get off to a winning start.
