Dublin Down was Exceedance’s first stakes-winner last spring winning the Group III VRC Maribyrnong Plate and earned his place in the Slipper winning the Pago Pago Stakes in which hot favourite Gatsby’s failed to ignite and finished fourth.

Drifting has had an outstanding first prep - image Steve Hart

Drifting won her maiden at Hawkesbury on February 13 before finishing second to Bold Bastille in a Listed race at Flemington and  became her sire Zousain’s first stakes-winner when successful in a competitive Group III ATC Magic Night.
