JOEY MASSINO

3 c O'Reilly - Rationable
14 starts - 5 wins, 3 seconds
Trainer: Peter McKay
Major wins: G2 Avondale Guineas, G3 Wellington Stakes
Odds: 20-1

Replays:
Best, last start: Karaka Mile (1st): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EQ_bdR-meI

+ Tough front-runner who hates letting horses pass him in the stretch
+ Four-time stakes winner.

- Failed in his only start beyond a mile, so big questions about the distance.

Verdict: One of the bravest and most determined little horses in NZ at the moment. He obviously hates losing, and will give everything he's got on Derby day. The big problem is the 2400m. But I think 20-1 is too high. I'd have him at 11-1 or 12-1.
