Verdict

DON'T DOUBT DARCY (3) resumes as the horse with the clearest exposed race substance, having been sent out favourite on debut at Kembla Grange before finishing fourth behind Hinzel after covering ground in the run. His recent easy Warwick Farm trial win points to a more settled return and looks well placed to break through. BUSY BEE (4) has race fitness and a reliable maiden profile, with two placings from three starts and a wet-track record that reads well for these conditions. Extra trip in her favour. VERANDERS (8) is an interesting debutant by Anders out of Vee from the Beer and Carpenter yard. Won his latest trial at Kembla Grange, and the family page carries weight through Miss Freelove, a Listed winner and Group-placed relation. Respect. REGAL PROFIT (7) is a Capitalist colt from Still Reigning on debut for the Portelli yard. Has trialled four times, winning three of them, and brings a professional grounding that gives him a genuine hope. The chances don't end there.

3	Returns from a lengthy spell after being sent out favourite on debut at Kembla Grange, where he raced keenly early and finished fourth behind Hinzel, beaten just over three lengths. That run contained enough merit for a small-field maiden, and he has since won an easy Warwick Farm trial a few weeks ago. Looks hard to hold out despite drawing awkwardly. 1st Pick 3 Don't Doubt Darcy Jockey: Andrew Adkins Trainer: Con Karakatsanis J: Andrew Adkins T: Con Karakatsanis	95	-	-	-	39%

4	Resumed with a fifth at Newcastle, beaten two and a half lengths behind Thorsten after being sent around at big odds and only battling on. Her better reference is the Port Macquarie second two back, where she was beaten a neck on soft ground after travelling close enough. Strong chance to improve sharply. 2nd Pick 4 Busy Bee Jockey: Lee Magorrian Trainer: Mark Minervini J: Lee Magorrian T: Mark Minervini	199	-	-	-	7%

8	Debuts off a Kembla Grange trial win and has the benefit of an earlier trial at this venue in June. His pedigree adds further interest, being related to Miss Freelove, who won a Listed race and was placed at Group level, while the Mitchell Beer and George Carpenter stable has usable debut numbers. Profiles as a live debut chance. 3rd Pick 8 Veranders Jockey: Jean Van Overmeire Trainer: Mitchell Beer & George Carpenter J: Jean Van Overmeire T: Mitchell Beer & George Carpenter	72	-	-	-	5%
