Verdict

Tricky contest. READY MADE HEIR (16) comes here with race experience on her side fifth-up. Back in trip today after she closed strongly for a narrow third over 6 ?f at Muswellbrook in a Super Maiden. Capable of overcoming the sticky gate with Zac Lloyd aboard. ARATO (1) excellent debut with an eye-catching second over 5 ½f at Hawkesbury in a fast run contest. Gets a similar set-up for this from the low draw. Hard to hold out. LIBERTY CALLS (12) not that far away on debut when seventh over 5 ½f at Hawkesbury. Will appreciate the extra trip and stays in the mix at the good odds. BARROW POWER (8) was well in the market at debut when she sat on the speed for a tenacious second over 5 ¾f at Beaumont (Newcastle). Doesn't get the same map favours here and place claims look best. The chances don't end there.
