Verdict

WETUMPKA (9) resumes for his second preparation having shown good ability last time in. he debuted at Pakenham Synthetic and just missed when heavily backed, close up in metro maidens his next couple. He should have improved with that spell under the belt and draws for every chance here. VORONYA (8) is a gelding by Earthlight on debut for the Hayes yard. He's won a couple of jumpouts leading in and looks ready to go having drawn ideally. LIGHT MOVES (7) is a colt by Zoustar on debut for the Price & Kent Jnr yard. He was a $380,000 purchase and has jumped out well for a stable who go very well here. SALARAE (10) is a mare by Zoustar on debut for the Cliff Brown yard who has jumped out quite well and has claims. FLASH KERMY (12) is a filly by Kermadec on debut for the Jerome Hunter yard who can figure.
