1. Dalradian: Solid enough win first up and then won an okay race at Moonee Valley by a nose last start. Another step up here but looks well suited.
2. Valliano: Nosed out last start by Dalradian. Beaten by Missrock two runs back but was blocked for runs also. Form holds up.
3. Flying Artie: Unseen Mick Price colt. Market your only guide with no seen trials. Has been supported
5. Power Trip: Looked a nice type with a 2.3L trial win over 800m. Ready to run well today.
6. Power Up Rise: Mick Price, Damien Oliver – nicely bred colt. Market only guide again – been a drifter since opening short in the market.
7. War Hero: Trial looked better than what’s recorded on paper. Has been supported in betting from a double figure price.
9. Gloriette: Well supported since opening quote. Won a nice trial heading into this and bred to get the wet.
Comments: We have an impossible race to rate right here. We have two prices runners no one has ever seen before that have been supported. We have three class runners with strong form lines coming into this and then we have a few others with strong trial form. Whatever wins this will be a horse to to follow forward into the best 2YO races over the next 9 months. Watch for the late market move.
Confidence 10%
Strategy: Gloriette to win.
