Verdict

SEMANTICS (10) resumes having been well backed on debut in a strong 2yo race at Sandown Hillside, beaten under a length into third. She's since spelled and has won a trial leading in and draws perfectly for Ethan Brown. AROUSED (1) is a filly by Snitzel out of stakes winner Sexy Eyes who debuts for the Begg yard. She was an expensive yearling and has jumped out well for strong connections, keeping safe. EGYPTIAN DANCER (2) was just fair last time at Caulfield Heath but had been going well prior and back to 5f suits better. SCOVILLE (9) is a filly by Too Darn Hot on debut for the Maher yard who has won a jump out and draws well, watch the betting.
