Verdict

RHYME DUST (10) is a first-starter by Vancouver out of Grande Vitesse. Ran fifth in a trial at Flemington over 4f. Looks set for a bright start to his career. SHE'S LOADED (8) returned from a spell three weeks ago when she was prominent at the turn before fading into fourth over 5f at Bendigo. Finds a suitable race and can get the job done. ZUKURO (9) stepped out on her debut over 6 ½f at Swan Hill three-and-a-half weeks ago. Couldn't make an immediate impact but is a likely improver. AGORAPHOBIC (12) raced on the speed last time but couldn't finish the race off and clocked-in sixth over 5f at Ballarat Synthetic. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for her.
