Verdict

TANNIN (12) well-bred Exceed And Excel two-year-old colt from Fitou on debut for the Michael Freedman yard. Has shown enough at the trials to suggest he can make a winning debut with Tommy Berry aboard. LAST TOUR (5) at his top for this with the nose roll going on fourth-up. Tried hard with the 130lbs for a respectable fourth over 6 ½f at Illawarra Grange. Among the chances with the 7lbs claim from the good gate. SORENTINA (10) boxed on well when sixth over 6 ¼f in a Super Maiden at Canterbury. Fitter now and will appreciate the firmer surface. Leading contender. OPINE (6) So You Think gelding from Asheerah on debut for the Pride yard. Much better effort when second in his latest trial over 3 ¾f at Warwick Farm. Keep safe.
