Verdict

WRITTEN EMPIRE (10) is a nicely bred colt by leading sire Written Tycoon from the stakes-winner Altea on debut for the Hayes yard. Drawn wide but has won a trial leading in and should be ready to go. COVERT MISSION (1) finished seventh when resuming two runs back then did a good job last start but found one better over 6f at this track, beaten only one length. Peaks now and rates well TAG THE BRIDE (12) kept coming last time to finish 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 5f at this track. Can settle handy and take beating. FINARDI (8) didn't fire on debut at Geelong but was in the market there and is in the right camp to improve.
