Ardmore trainer Stephen McKee is treading a familiar path to the Karaka Million.
He was successful 12 months ago with Xiong Feng and he will be represented tomorrow by Star Treasure, who is from the same family as last year's winner and who races in similar ownership, and Hasahalo.
Both youngsters will go into the Ellerslie feature at the top of their games as last-start winners on the course.
"Neither of them have done too much since their last races, just easy run-alongs," said McKee, who topped off their preparations with a Wednesday gallop at Ellerslie as he had also done last year with Xiong Feng.
Star Treasure qualified for the Karaka Million with a strong performance to win decisively on Boxing Day, after an encouraging debut placing before an under-par effort.
