Verdict

Small field, but intriguing race with a few who have been knocking on the door clashing with some who have impressed at the trials. Will side with one of the raced in ETON AFFAIR (2), who has finished second in two runs this time in and draws well. That experience and fitness could prove vital. HERE'S MATILDA (7) is a first-starter from the Maher stable who didn't do a lot in the first two trials but jumped out of the ground late at the latest to edge out handy stablemate Star Trip. Can make a winning start. CANNY MISS (6) was well-supported on debut and while beaten 3-1/4 lengths, she was far from disgraced, will be better for the outing and might also be better suited by the extra distance. RED RABBIT (8) is proving costly and was again supported last start when disappointing, but is better than that. Heavy ground would be a query but she's good enough to bounce back. NARILAO (4) has won a couple of recent trials, albeit ridden out, but could give a sight on speed.

Horse Racing Basic Terms

Also Eligible

A horse that is entered but does not draw into the body of the field due to too many entries, and thus is not permitted to start unless there are enough scratches to shrink the field size.

Fractions

The times recorded during the race; with timing starting just past the gate or when the gates open, then parroted for the quarter, half, three-quarters etc. Used as an indication of ability and speed.

Trifecta

A wager picking the first, second and third horses in the exact order. A trifecta box means paying more to ensure the horses can finish in any order in the top three spots.
