Verdict

Headwater filly PRESTIGE AUSTRIA (8) debuts for the local Lee stable. Won a trial at Grafton on 16 May after a quiet one here a month earlier. Draws the fence and looks a big chance in a race where the exposed form is pretty dismal. Another Lee runner in LAND SPEED (3) last raced almost a year ago when beaten a long way into fourth over 5 ½f at Hawkesbury. Can finish a lot closer in this far easier contest if forward enough. HERE'S BEAU (2) is a first starter from the John Shelton barn. Placed in a recent Grafton trial and looks good enough to make his presence felt. WASHIK (7) next best but it is hard to see her winning.
