Verdict

The two-year-olds kick us off with only three chances. OLE GO (4) is an unraced Ole Kirk colt from the Hickmott yard who has shown above-average ability in his work, highlighted by a sharp Murray Bridge trial win. With Pannell sticking, he looks poised to make an immediate impact. EXPENSIVE TASTE (5) comes through the sharp McEvoy juvenile system and has been primed with two strong Flemington jump-out victories. Milnes should give the North Pacific filly every chance. BIG WIGS (2) is a Gold Standard colt on debut for the Stokes stable, prepared with two solid Victorian jump-outs. He's a half to G2-placed Cavity Bay, who leaned toward staying trips, and he's one to keep safe.
