Verdict

PICTOR (17) has not appeared since coming from the clouds to be beaten a whisker by subsequent stakes winner Grand Prairie on debut over this trip at the Kensington track nine weeks ago. Nicely drawn and McDonald goes on today. Perfectly placed to make a successful return. CURIE (13) met with good support on debut last start over 1100m at Gosford but lacked the turn of foot of the quinella runners. Needs this extra trip and from a good draw will get all the favours. CHATTERLEY (3) last appeared when a respectable fifth in the Listed Bill Carter over 1350m at Doomben in May. Two recent trials should have her ready for a strong return. SHANGRI LA BOY (14) is the pick of the first starters. Half-brother to Storm Boy by Pierro for Gai and Adrian. Plenty of trial experience so he should be ready to go. PANOVA (10) was an eye-catcher at Wyong on debut - one to watch for late in proceedings.

First starter by Written Tycoon - One Last Fight. Hasn't set the track alight with his trials leading into today's race. Unplaced in recent trials and others appear to have his measure.

Was well-supported at debut, 3rd in a small field at Gosford F&M Mdn-Sw on August 29 over 1100m, slow going 2.5 len behind Wangi Wangi carrying 55.5kg at $3.70. Runner-up in a Rosehill trial over 900m on September 9. Shows ability and expected to improve. Plenty of upside and is a major player.

Gerald Ryan & Sterling Alexiou trained three-year-old filly lining up for debut and was an AUD $ 425,000 (Inglis 2024 Australian Easter Yearling Sale) purchase. Looked good in a recent trial win. Inside barrier will assist chances. Must be respected.

Resumes from a spell. Finished off last campaign second of 10 at Doomben in the LR Bill Carter May 24 over 1350m, soft track; 2 len behind Sunrays with 56.5kg at $5.50. On debut third in a small field at this track 2yo Mdn April 30 over 1100m, in the wet; 2.25 len behind Miss Freelove with 56kg at $4.60. Will take great benefit from this run but looms as a major contender.

Resuming after a break; only one run when 6th of 9 at Warwick Farm 2yo C&G Mdn-Sw on May 7 over 1000m, slow going 3.5 len behind Regulated Affair with 56kg at $31. Might be better off following this outing.
