My ridiculously early pick is Fawkner. Having not run at the distance will, I hope, deter people from using him on top.

Looks like a push button horses to me and I think he has as much as chance as Hawkspur who I like very much.

Would be thrilled to see Silent Achiever win (right, ed? ) but in terms of early picks yeah... that is my boy.

Thrilled to see Steps in Time in the Tristarc Stakes!!!

Can't wait.
