In depth
Verdict
Jim Bolger has been patient with Gaire Os Ard, who hasn't been seen since runner-up over 5f here in March in a race that has sent out mixed messages. DABANA ran a fine race behind the odds-on Seisai at Gowran and the winner has been placed at Group level subsequently. Dermot Weld's filly looks the one to beat though the winner's yard is represented by the newcomers Albula, a daughter of Galileo out of an Australian Group 3 winner, and Awesome Wonder, another filly by Galileo out of an Australian Group 1 winner who has already produced two winners. The Algarve is bred to be a champion being by American Pharoah out of the dual classic winner Imagine, who has produced ten winners including Van Gogh and Horatio Nelson.
