Verdict

AUTUMN FLYER (1) is a four-year-old gelding by The Autumn Sun on debut for the Theresa Bateup stable. Hit the line nicely in his sole lead-up trial and gets the key booking of Brodie Loy. Bold start expected. MRS FLANDERS (7) missed the placings when resuming at Newcastle two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 4 ½f at the same venue. Finds the right race this time and can find winning form. MONTE SHELL (11) has shown good tactical speed in her first two starts but tired late. Fitter now and should look to give another bold sight. Could steal it if left alone. MR BAZZA (2) finds the maiden win elusive but resumes in new colours and has been fitted with a solid trial in readiness. Drawn cosy for Keatings and is in the mix. EMPTY POCKETS (10) wasn't far away on debut back in April before spelling. Hasn't been seen at public trials in readiness but is one to keep in mind. Especially if there's a market lean.
