Verdict

WHITE MOON (9) caught the eye on debut when finishing third over 1m at Launceston, and then showed a quick turn of foot to score here 12 days ago over the same trip by nearly a length. She is bred to relish an extra 2 ½f, and she can take the next step immediately. ALPINE DRIFT (4) was a beaten favourite behind the top pick, finishing fourth in a tight go to the line. He is strong enough now to cope with 1 5/16m, and he gets a chance to turn the tables here. STOLLAWAY NED (3) has been racing in good touch sine winning his maiden in September on the poly track at Devonport, and he is now ready to be tested over a middle distance. His breeding suggests that he won't have an issue with an extra 2 ½f, and another honest effort is expected. DA SILVER FLASH (5) has found form again over a middle distance, and gets a chance to improve his modest track stats with a top 3 finish here. NICALBI (1) led up and faded last time out, and he may try similar front running tactics here. Include.
