I find it totally unfair when the kiwis just have a walkover to advance straight to the semi final about five weeks from the finals although Waikiki beach qualified in Sydney about a month ago. The locals race in full fields and only the winner goes through which makes it bloody tough on 2yo to race 4 weeks in a row . Surely make them all come here and qualify , or if you have one a group 1 or2 race you are automatically qualified for the semi . You won't get any more from nz under this way. When the heats are in vic and there's 12 spots left the first 3 go direct to the semis 2 weeks later . Have repacharges just the winners go through . It's probably not the perfect solution but having 2 horse heats are a joke,
