PEACE BIRD (11) was luckless on debut at Canterbury two back then raced handy and was only beaten a whisker over 1200m at Warwick Farm last start. Looks as though she will get this extra trip okay. Open to further improvement and can go one better. Waller's first starter BOTANIST (4) is the query runner. By Wootton Bassett from a Slipper placegetter in Tulip. Trials have been good enough McDonald's engagement is a strong pointer. The vet reported CLANWILLIAM (5) was slow to recover last start so that failure should be forgiven. Trialled well since and the blinkers go on so watch for a much better run. YATTAZOU (12) made late inroads to just miss the placings recently over 1200m at Warwick Farm, finishing 1.3 lengths behind Peace Bird. Has the job ahead to turn the tables although an extra 200m should suit. MATIAS (6) resumes. Wasn't beaten far in the two runs of his maiden prep and is now a gelding so more might be in store.
