Verdict

All these 2yo's making their debut here. ZANARDI (3) was a dominant trial winner with his ears pricked over Scorching back in August. Looks hard to beat here. CAPTIVE AUDIENCE (6) has put in two nice trial runs for a win over Mean Ambition and a close 2nd to Glory Of Spring after stalking the leaders & hitting the line hard. DON GIUSEPPE (1) won his most recent trial after sitting wide and strolling away with ears pricked, beating Sheeza Queen by over 5L. Danger. HEZANICON (2) led all the way to win his recent trial by 6L over Kachow who ran wide on the turn. Has claims here. RIVER LIFFEY (8) was very green and lost a few lengths soon after the start but made ground nicely for a close 4th in her recent trial.
