Verdict

ANULFA (6) found Warwick Farm a bit rich, but her provincial form prior stacks right up. She maps for a soft on-pace run and the in-form Boudvillain replaces the 3kg apprentice. Well-placed to bounce back. GATCHAN (4) presents off a Wyong placing over 2100m and is busting to break through. Keeps the handy 3kg claim and she's a live chance. XCITED (5) had a long time away and second up ran a decent number here over this trip. He will be better for that and has each-way claims. Ditto CRAFT (1) who has been mixing provincial and county racing. He will find this more to his liking than Wyong and will use an inside gate. A stable favourite is engaged. They keep persevering with BURGUNDY GIRL (3), who is good enough on her day. The claim is handy, and she's worth consideration.

Second-up 7th of 9 at Beaumont (Newcastle) Mid 5yo+ Bm64 on December 13 over 2000m, 13 len behind Forbidden Riff with 58kg at $51. Needs to improve sharply to threaten.
