Verdict

RESCHS MILK (8) is a first starter by Farnan from a Savabeel mare who has produced eight winners from nine runners. Improving at each trial appearance. Looks ready to make a positive start to her career. HIDDEN STAR (10) came from last to be beaten under a length in an impressive return over 5 ½f at Wyong recently. Ideally placed over the extra trip today but she will need luck after drawing out under the arches. POPULISM (14) disappointed last start at the Illawarra Grange circuit. The rider reported post-race that a track with give would help. Gets those conditions today so a return to form will not surprise. Rising five-year-old SIR PHIL (3) makes a belated debut. Trialling well and any market confidence should be heeded. POSHY'S GIRL (7) did a good job on debut at Quirindi. Harder here but can improve substantially.

Previously second-up 8th of 11 at Beaumont (Newcastle) F&M Mdn-Sw on December 16 over 5 ¾f, on a slow track, 7 len behind Siebert carrying 125lbs at $13.
