Mat and Mike de Kock send out constellation in the second (Pic – CRS)
Constellation from the Mike and Mathew de Kock stable takes his place in Race 2.
He produced a promising debut effort over this distance in the Listed TAB Storm Bird Stakes. It must be noted that multiple horses from that form line have come out and won since.
He found betting support that day which suggests that he was showing good work at home.
The son of What A Winter would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, he should take a power of beating.
Mike and Adam Azzie send out Zanthar in Race 8.
He faced a competitive field in the Gr3 4Racing National Currency Sprint last time.
His three efforts prior to that outing were decent.
The son of New Predator has ability and Craig Zackey may be able to get the best out of him where it matters most.
