Verdict

HEALTHANDHAPPINESS (3) was in the market on debut and was far from disgraced but just needed the run. Has been freshened with 49 days and kept up to the mark with two trials. Bold showing anticipated. HERE SHE IS (8) is knocking on the door but has just struggled to put it all together so far. Will likely drift back from the draw and be charging at the business end. WATERORTHECAN (10) was well supported on debut in town but failed to fire a shot. Gets the blinkers applied and is open to significant improvement. MEAN MAZZLE (4) is a Lean Mean Machine gelding on debut for the Shepherd yard. Doesn't strike a deep maiden here, so worth safekeeping.
