Verdict

BEADMAN (3) talented colt who can finally live up expectations this campaign. Kept safe in betting when over-raced in the run with a fading eleventh over 6f in the G1 Coolmore Stud Stakes at Flemington last November. J Mac has ridden him in the two sharp trials and retains the ride. Ready to deliver. INKARUNA (4) capable Victorian filly who will relish the hot tempo. Proven Group performer ready to go with the two jump outs under the belt. Blinkers off and shapes as the main danger. CAFFE FLORIAN (6) tough filly resuming. Made it three-straight wins with a comfortable LR Gosford Guineas victory last December over 6f. Respect. MARETH (7) returned from a let-up with a battling seventh to Cinsault in the G2 Millie Fox over 6 ½f. Slim claims.
