Verdict

THE MAILMAN (4) did nothing on debut as a juvenile, but that was on a heavy track. He has looked smart and forward in condition at a couple of tune-up trials. A wide gate is a query, but he is a lot stronger now, and should be among the hardest to beat fresh up in this. ERBYS DARCI (1) was not bad here over 7f last time out, when finishing third behind a fairly handy type. He is bred to keep on improving with time, and his first win should not be too far away. BANQUELLA (8) won the latest of her 2 trials this season, and she will be ready to rumble on debut. LE SMOKE (11) makes his debut from the in-form Sam Mynott stable, and she was runner-up in a recent Avondale trial a week ago. She is sure to have plenty of market support. BRUTAL REALITY (9) needed the experience when making her debut, and she can improve sharply here. Include.
