Verdict

ROMANTICISM (10) returns and makes her stable debut for the Collings camp. Looks to have come back in terrific order, scoring stylishly in her recent trial. Keeps hot-hand hoop Boudvillain from the trial and is drawn well. Looks the one to beat. SHES XEE (8) is a mare by Xtravagant out of Thismist who is at the races for the first time today. Has trialled three times leading into this. Worth watching for positive market moves. CAPITAL DESIGN (5) finished fourth last start over 5 ½f at Wangaratta after racing on the pace for much of the way. Will push forward and is among the chances. BRUTAL TO THE MAX (9) is on debut. By Brutal and is out of the Kerry Weir stable. Comes here off a Randwick trial. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves. BEDDA MIA (6) finds it tough to get off the mark but is knocking on the door. Peaking now and is in the mix.
