Verdict

ORIGIN OF LOVE (6) led from a wide gate & put them to the sword in the G1 Wellington Guineas (1m) back in March. Handy efforts at 6 ½f & 7f recently and looks poised to salute again. PROMETHEUS (4) form very sound in recent starts, all on the synthetic track. Has led & been caught late in last 3 starts. Can give a sight here. GETAWAY (12) tried hard but looked to need the run when fresh at Ellerslie two back then caught wide but kept coming strongly when beaten less than 1L last time. Respect here. COULTHARD (3) building a bridesmaid record & was a game 2nd again after a stalking run when fresh.
