Verdict

Want to find the McEvoy yard wherever possible on the Ballarat Synthetic and JUDAS TREE (2) looks a nice chance. He's a gelding by Blue Point on debut who draws well in barrier four and has won a couple of jumpouts. Go close. OMAN (9) made nice improvement here second-up when getting away from soft ground. She won't need to improve much more to go one better. SPIRITED DEE (10) is a filly by Fierce Impact on debut for the Hickmott yard who has won a jumpout here which is worth plenty. Respecting. PINAMILLOY (3) has placed in both starts to date and is now switching to synthetic for the first time. 6f looks fine and he should be right there. CHESTNUT TEAL (7) next best.
