1. Tutukaka (11) – $18<\/b>
\n<\/b>Jockey – James Orman 57kg<\/span>
\n<\/span>Trainer – Tony Pike<\/span><\/p>\n

Got a long way back and made steady ground in the G3 Rough Habit last start here at Eagle Farm. The added journey will be no problem and on his best form is capable of winning this.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/b>Jockey – Sam Weatherley 57kg<\/span>
\n<\/span>Trainer – Lance O’Sullivan & Andrew Scott<\/span><\/p>\n

Ran on well to finish 2nd in the G2 Queensland Guineas behind Character, before a solid win last start in the G3 Rough Habit. Steps up to 2400m for the first time which is some query but has the form on the board.<\/span><\/p>\n
