Verdict

Sure to work out a strong race with plenty of talent on show. On the strength of a huge trial win expecting INKWELL (3) to go close. Sharp yard and latest trial scored by almost 10 lengths. Written By gelding with leading rider engaged and sure to measure up. HARRY'S MODE (2) was well fancied on debut at Doomben earlier in the year and ran below expectations when fourth. Given time and sure to be improved second time around. BEELZIE (6) is a Michael Nolan-trained two-year-old filly lining up for her first race start and was also an easy trial winner recently. Expecting a strong showing. LONESOME STAR (5) was a course and distance winner before a spell. Tricky gate but has the claim and good early speed and can give a sight again. ZIA MARIA (10) has finished fourth at both starts so far and presents with the shades added. Can do better.
