The Wagga trainer can't split his four entrants in the Murrumbidgee Cup (1800m), Azaryah, Gentleman Max, Willy White Socks and Jungle Book enough though Azarayah is the only one drawn inside the first 10.

"I like them all," Sutherland said.

"There is old horses and young horses but I'm happy with them."

Azaryah started her preparation as a maiden but has won four races while Sutherland was pleased with the improvement in Gentleman Max after a third at Gundagai last time out.

Willy White Socks also heads into the race off a Gundagai effort and Jungle Book is coming off two placings.

Sutherland also has Real Key in the Town Plate Prelude as well as three hopefuls in the Guineas Prelude including Demanding Mo and La Sante, who finished in the top three in the Albury Guineas at big odds last month.

"La Sante should have won at Wellington and the both get nice gates and are drawn to get a lovely run," he said.

"Mo has come back to where he was when he won the Albury Guineas so I'm happy with him.

"We've also changed his work around at home so Willybeafactor is working every bit as good as them."

Sutherland is frustrated by the lack of meetings in the Southern District, believing it has become very difficult, hence the large team racing on Sunday.
