1. Dalradian: Strong maiden win at Bendigo first up over 900m. Looks handy.
2. Valliano: Blocked for runs first up at Caulfield when ran on for 3rd when Missrock flew right past them. Well backed since opening and will sit in a good spot.
3. Credible Witness: Nice trial up at Randwick. Looks to have talent.
4. Delta D’Or: No trial. Master of Design Gelding.
5. Le Meringue: No trial. Red Arrow Colt.
6. Preemptive: Not fancied first up and well beaten. Others preferred.
7. Quiet Order: No trial. Commands Colt.
8. Rata Tat Tat: No trial. Host Gelding.
9. Sweet Sherry: All you can do is win and win well and she did that first up at Flemington over 1000m! Time was sound enough and she still gets 2kg on the Colts/Geldings as well!
10. Kinetic Design: Ran a respectable second to Sweet Sherry first up at Flemington. Can improve 2nd up.
11. Pearl Congenial: Ran nicely enough first up when 2nd beaten by MissRock at Caulfield. Was well backed that day also. Only horse we have seen on the tracks competing that we know will be going forward. Barrier hurts.
12. Twist Tops: Sydney form. 4th by 2.8L first run at Randwick and didn’t exactly catch my eye. Hard to suggest she justifies the single figure quote.
13. Bangs: Adelaide form. Ran 1.8L 2nd in a 5 horse race first up. Was worth a decent amount of money that race, but clearly has to improve again. Maps nicely from barrier.
14. Emphatically: Just an ‘okay’ trial for mine. Market will guide you.
15. Pittsburgh: Well beaten in a trial. Market will guide you.
Comments: As you can expect, i’ll tell you there is no way you can have any ‘confidence’ in this race. That being said, winning form is good form and Sweet Sherry looks the one to follow forward if you like the Flemington form and Valliano looks to have improvement also from that Caulfield run.
Confidence 50%
Strategy: Sweet Sherry to win.
