Verdict

PRIMA VECCHIO (6) resumes as the one to beat, with two trials since last racing and a debut fourth at this track that reads well for a Mdn of this shape. His final run last campaign came in CL1 company at Scone in what has proven a strong form reference. Has more upside than most and can make the perfect return. DEKKA'S LATEST (3) looms as the main danger with placings in his two runs back. The first time blinkers give him a clear chance to sharpen third-up. MERRY STEER (10) is an interesting debut runner as a half-sister to Listed winner Everyday Lady. Showed good improvement in her latest trial and is drawn kindly. Will pay to watch for any market moves. THIRTY DEGREES (9) finds the maiden win elusive but has efforts littered through his form that are competitive. Keeping safe for a minor spot.

6	Returns from a six-month break with two trials since last raced, giving him a suitable grounding for this first-up task. He was last seen making some late ground when eighth to Sweet Justice in a Class 1 at Scone, and his debut fourth at this track behind Exorbitant Miss showed enough for this level. One prior try around 7 ¼f was unplaced, but his lightly raced profile leaves clear room to improve fresh. 1st Pick 6 Prima Vecchio Jockey: Braith Nock Trainer: Paul Messara & Leah Gavranich J: Braith Nock T: Paul Messara & Leah Gavranich	114	-	-	-	34%	2/1

3	Worked home soundly for fourth at Moree last start, beaten just under a length by Hidden Detail after racing keenly and being bumped near the ½f. That followed a third at Muswellbrook when unwanted in the market, so he has put two useful runs together this campaign. First-time blinkers and a third-up platform give him the right set-up to turn that consistency into a breakthrough. 2nd Pick 3 Dekka's Latest Jockey: Grant Buckley Trainer: David Hatch J: Grant Buckley T: David Hatch	148	-	-	-	39%	13/8

10	Makes her debut with several encouraging pointers, most notably a close second in her latest Muswellbrook trial and first-time blinkers for race day. The pedigree adds further interest, as she is a half sister to Listed winner Everyday Lady and comes from a family with depth. Race experience is the unknown, but the trial and breeding profile give her a stronger winning case than most first starters in this field. 3rd Pick 10 Merry Steer Jockey: Heavelon Van Der Hoven Trainer: Liam Ruddy J: Heavelon Van Der Hoven T: Liam Ruddy	57	-	-	-	16%	11/2
