Verdict

The entire field are first starters. BETTER BY FAR (3) for the Waterhouse/Bott stable is clearly to pick following a dominant win at her latest trial at Randwick. By Farnan from a Better Than Ready mare so she has the right pedigree to go places. SAVAGE LOOK (2) is a Wild Ruler gelding who has saluted at both of his trials, the pick of them a four-length romp at this track in November. Looks above average and can give the top pick a run for its money. RUBELIN (5) is an All Too Hard filly who won her only trial on 20 December at Dubbo. Draws the fence and should give a good account. Anders gelding MINERS MATE (1) was a close third at Tamworth at his only public appearance. Betting watch advised. Also keep an eye out for support coming the way of SAMBUCA SKY (6) who is from the Nathan Doyle yard.
