Verdict

EYE FOR AN EYE (1) has his first start over the jumps. Improved last start to win a 66 over 1 ?/16m on the flat at Pakenham and fronts here on a 5-day return. Went well in two hurdle trials last month and expect him to race forward and take plenty of beating. PRIVILEGED SON (4) last raced when he was beaten 3.5 lengths into sixth over 1 ½m on the flat at Bendigo 11 days ago. Trialled over hurdles three times before that, with race rider Pateman aboard. We can anticipate a positive start to his jumping career. RICH CHAMPAGNE (5) also tackles the jumps for the first time. Has decent flat form and boxed on five days ago when resuming in Open grade at Edenhope. Ideally placed to quickly make his mark. UNTETHERED (8) brings strong flat form to his jumps debut. Followed an easy Ararat win with a near miss over 1 ?m at Albury in a 66. Races handy and is sure to give a big sight.
