Verdict

STAR NINETY SIX (2) followed a sound 2nd to Wtihallmystrength at the trials with strong late run to grab 2nd on debut here over 5 ½f. Better for the debut effort and extra distance should suit. OFF THE SCALES (1) has been beaten narrow margins in all 3 starts to date, all on the synthetic track. Has shown versatility in his racing style and is a danger here. FLEETWING (5) led throughout beating Boomtown Boss in a September 15 trail then sat in the trail and not asked for much in close 4th at the trials October 15. Respect from the pole. THE SANCY (7) was eased back and found the line well for 3rd behind Kumara Straight and Withallmywish in his September 15 trial then wide in midfield and kept on under a hold in latest trial. Include. TIP TOP (8) was a sound 4th in the LR Fillies Classic back in August and got back after a poor start but ran on late behind So Fear last start at Hastings. Looks well suited here.
