A winner of his sole start in points, JOURNEY WITH ME impressed when easily landing a Gowran bumper back in the spring and he's most exciting now hurdling in a race connections won 12 months ago with Bob Olinger. Minella Cocooner, who has shown plenty already over hurdles, is a big threat though, along with Fantasio d'Alene.
