A maiden which to a large extent revolves around VAN GOGH who will be very hard to beat if reproducing anything like the form he showed when runner-up in Group 2 company a couple of weeks ago. Colour Sergeant has had a few chances but he can place again. The selection's stablemate National Ballet and Jim Bolger's Wisteria Girl are newcomers who make paper appeal.
