Verdict

STAR INTENTION (6) is a 4YO Star Witness mare on debut for the Murray camp. Caught the eye with a stylish trial in readiness and keeps JVO. Bright start anticipated. REMY'S BRO (2) has been in the money at both runs this time in work and the maiden win looks imminent following a good second over 5f at Sapphire Coast last time. Ready to peak. WATCH ME TANGO (7) will find this a little easier than her second on debut three weeks ago, beaten half a length at the end of 6f at Sapphire Coast. Tricky draw to overcome but she is a strong chance. THIS AIN'T TEXAS (8) finds the maiden win elusive but boasts a fitness edge and should be at her top fourth-up. Boudvillain's booking is a good sign. SLATER'S BOY (1) returns from a long break and while there's a chance he needs the run, the Loy/Pepper combo is one that can't be ignored.
