KEY POINTS:
Congratulations to Avondale.
Even with a big meeting at Trentham the AJC has attracted terrific talent for its two main races tomorrow.
Kristov, Gaze and Zilzie make the $29,000 Sheriff Handicap look like a group two carnival race.
Under the original handicap Gaze, with 54.5 and therefore a possible 4kg weight pull, was well placed to make life difficult for one of our real stars, Kristov.
But Kristov has a 4kg claim through Samantha Collett and comes in at a luxury 54.5kg.
Trainer Phil Stevens says he has Kristov back to his best and it's about this time each season that the big winner starts to shine.
Nothing has gone right for Gaze since she won the Breeders Stakes fresh from a spell.
She was one of many to slip at Te Rapa in mid-December and then became upset by another runner and started racing fiercely in the Rich Hill Mile at Ellerslie last start.
Zilzie's wide gate won't help her claims, but she has talent.
There are no claims in the $29,000 First Sovereign Trust 2100 and Desert Flight will have to carry his full 58kg.
Ntamack is due some luck soon, Punt Higher is capable of upsetting and the likes of Shinko Prince and Pretorius are well placed in races like this.
