Verdict

I AM CARROT (4) raced handy and gave a good kick but found one better when resuming over 5 ½f at Gosford last start. Placed at the Kensington track second-up last prep which is strong form for a moderate maiden. Draws the fence and won't get too many better chances to open his account. HERAION (8) was beaten less than two lengths for the third straight time when just outside the placings over 5 ½f at Hawkesbury recently. Jumps up quickly to 6 ¾f which is a query, but she is racing too well to ignore. LUNE D'EXCELLENCE (9) caught the eye in the closing stages when runner-up over 6 ¼f at Kempsey last time out, her first outing in 18 weeks. Will appreciate the step up in trip and the blinkers going on is a positive sign. RUSTEMO (6) made it three seconds from as many runs this time in work at Kempsey last start. Returning figures that suggest he is not out of place in a race like this. EXCEEDING LIMITS (3) should be ready to peak after two runs back from a break.
