Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old gelding by Circus Maximus out of Trepidation. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 1200m at Avondale March 24. Has the pedigree so could measure up without surprising.

Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old gelding by Nadeem out of Ruby Love. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 1000m at Foxton January 13. Profiles well and a bold run is expected.
