Verdict

DIAMONDINTHEROUGH (4) faces the starter for the first time. By Warrawee Needy and hails from the Chris Judd stable. Has strong trial form coming into this, winning the latest hitout. That could have him ready for a winning debut. MICKEYS RUN (6) has not raced for six months but may have developed since last seen when fourth at this venue and looks forward enough for this return after a minor placing in a recent trial. HIWAYTHREENINENINE (9) is a two-year-old colt by Downbytheseaside on debut for the John Ogden yard. Placed in his latest trial and won't spend a penny from this draw. Keep safe. EYES OFF TIGER (7) draws wide but did well for third at Goulburn at his first racetrack appearance. Strips fitter and can play a role.
