Verdict

TOBIKKO (8) debuts for Phillip Stokes and has shown above-average ability in his jumpout win. With Opperman sticking, he looks ready to make an immediate impact. LOYALTY REIGNS (2) showed sharp speed fresh off a long break before being gunned down late. He'll have tightened up with that run and, kept fresh since, should give a bold sight with Holder aboard. STRANDED (6) resumes for the Hickmott yard and has been prepared with three handy jumpouts. Pannell stays on and a bright return is expected. SO POLITE (10) resumes off a trial placing and gets in light with the claim. She should be prominent on speed and is not to be underestimated. BARDIGRUB (11) showed enough on debut behind a smart winner in July. Though unseen publicly since, he hails from a sharp stable and is worth keeping safe, especially if market support arrives.
