Verdict

FLIGHT OF POWER (4) failed to live up to market expectation on debut at Muswellbrook but looks to have come on a treat during the break and strips fitter for two lead-up trials, including a win. Bullock's booking from the gun draw sets him up for a bright return. IMPERIAL ROYALE (10) is a first-starter by Maurice out of Mont Blanc. Comfortable trial winner. A betting push will add to the confidence. AKATOA (8) is a first-starter by Pinatubo from Global Dream who has been a fine producer including winners at black type level. Sure to be well-educated, being from the Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott stable. Should be making her presence felt. CZECH ME (2) is a gelding by Prague out of Tycoon Tily who is at the races for the first time today. Comfortable trial winner. Watch for market confidence. MILLE FEUILLE (7) caught the eye first-up when closing strongly into midfield. Has been kept fresh with a month in-between, kept up to the mark with a trial. Not underestimating.
