Verdict

The babies kick us off. VANZADEE (13) was heavily supported on debut but just missed the frame on that occasion. Where there's smoke there's fire and is sure to have derived benefit from that race day experience. Will prove tough to hold out. LEAVES OF LORIEN (10) has been thereabouts in all three career outings and has the most race experience in this line-up. Include in calculations. RUN LIKE A GIRL (12) wasn't disgraced in Saturday grade when at the races for the first time before being tipped out for time to furnish. Should find this a touch easier. I'LLTELLYOUANYTIME (9) placed over this track and trip on debut before not being too far away in town last time out. One for the multiples. MAGANISTA (11) next in line.
