I have a strong feeling towards Philippi, he is a good colt, make no mistake about that, whether he is sharp enough over the 1400 metres will be the question.
If he is running on his trainer, Mick Kent, will be more than pleased, he is being aimed towards the Randwick Guineas over 2000 metres to be run Warwick Farm, the Rosehill Guineas is also an option.
Phillipi has furnished into a lovely colt, he has grown 3 centimetres since he last raced and has an ideal temperament.
He is by Host, as is Hosting, also engaged in the C S Hayes Stakes, he could easily improve on his third in the Manfred Stakes to Royal Haunt.
Sydneysider, Albrecht, could also be in the mix, he ran a shocker at Caulfield, he may be better suited over the 1400 metres at headquarters
