COUNTERPART (3) is a two-start maiden who finished fifth, beaten 6 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6½f at Warwick Farm. Plenty of scope for improvement and is a great chance to break through. BOSUSTOW (2) faced the starter for the first time and finished sixth last start at Rosehill over 5½f, beaten 5 lengths. Likely improver who is worth another chance. ICEMAN (4) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 6 lengths from the winner in seventh at Randwick Kensington over 6¼f. Capable of much more this time. LINEBACKER (5) is a NZD $ 160,000 (NZB 2023 Karaka - Book 1) purchase by Super Seth from Garden Of Swans. Last trial won a stall trial trial over 4¼f at Randwick on January 22. Stable going well so he comes into calculations.
