Facing the starter for the first time. Four-year-old gelding by Tarzino out of Benalmadena purchased for AUD $7,500 (Magic Millions 2020 Rosemont Exclusive Online Sale Unreserved). Half-brother to Group 3 winner Cartaya. At the most recent trial finished fifth at Doomben over 5f. Prefer to see him perform on race day.

Four-year-old gelding (Adelaide - Solar By Panels). Full-brother to winner Solarosa. Dam was an eight-start maiden. Will no doubt benefit from the two trials leading in this debut. Last trial second in a 5f trial on April 11 at Doomben. Drawn well and seems fit enough to figure in the finish.
