The Sir Tristram is the only one I can really pick with confidence. I think King's Rose should win that and make it five stakes wins in a row.
In the International, I really want to see Veloce Bella end her career with another G1 win. She's such a lovely horse. But Booming must be tough to beat. And Vosne Romanee. And Arakti. And Mill Duckie. And November Rain. And Passchendaele. And Sir Slick...
I'll be sticking with Katie in the Sprint. She's having a bad season, but I still think she's the best horse in NZ. I believe she'll turn things around some day, and I hope that day will be tomorrow. But jeez, what a field - Wall Street, Mufhasa, Keep The Peace, We Can Say It Now.
