G2 – 2040m – Turf

1

Zululand

Fair effort when 7.65 lengths 9th to Shooting To Win in the 1600m G1 Caulfield Guineas on 11 October. Has to improve but may appreciate the rise in distance.

2

Chivalry

Connections has hoped to run this 3YO in the Cox Plate but he did not make the cut. Doing best work late when 3.4 lengths 5th to Shooting To Win in the G1 Caulfield Guineas.

3

6

Duccio

Ran well when 0.8 lengths 2nd to stablemate Hampton Court in 1600m Dulcify Stakes at Randwick on 4 October. Hampton Court then won strong Spring Champion Stakes so form is sound.
