Verdict

Another intriguing maiden contest this. SAHHA SWEETIE (11) is a Pariah mare kicking off for the Francis & Kent team and has done everything right in the lead-up, tightening up nicely after two recent trials. With Crowther aboard and a forward showing expected, she looks set for a bright debut. LADY KALILA (7) is a six-year-old Capitalist mare finally making her debut for Dan Shepherd. The stable's patience speaks volumes, and her trial win suggests she can make an impact straight away. INVINCIBLE ALICE (6) resumes and is a likely improver, hitting the line nicely behind Sahha Sweetie in recent trial. Worth including. PUB CRAWL (3) was narrowly denied as favourite when resuming at Kingscote. She'll be better for that outing, though this is a touch deeper. Worth keeping safe in minors.
