Gosford

Arrives at the races with a strong debut platform, having won a Randwick trial over 1050m after an earlier close second there. The profile is backed by a Waterhouse and Bott stable record of 30 wins from 111 supplied debut runners, while his full brother Best Of Bordeaux was a Group 2 winner and Group 1-placed at sprint trips. Well bred colt with strong debut claims.

Comes back from a mid-week Rosehill fifth into easier company after being steadied midrace and finishing fairly, beaten just under six lengths. Her previous run carries weight, an eighth in the Listed Tattersalls Stakes at Eagle Farm when beaten just over three lengths in Open grade. Strong place credentials, though the win has remained elusive.

Returns from a lengthy spell with two trial wins since last racing, including one at Muswellbrook a few weeks ago, so she looks forward enough for this. She ended last campaign with a Kembla Grange third, beaten just under two lengths as odds-on favourite after jumping awkwardly, following a Wyong second. Smart filly expected to aim up this prep with the two slick trials.

Debuts after two trials, with the latest a close third at Rosehill that gives him a sound fitness pointer for this first outing. The family provides real interest, being a half brother to Headwall, whose record includes Group sprint form, and Chad Schofield is a positive booking at this venue. Trialled okay and the lugging bit goes on, each way.

Makes his debut with three Randwick trials behind him, the latest over 1050m two weeks ago when fifth and beaten 2.75 lengths. The Jim and Greg Lee stable has placed five of six debut runners in the supplied record, which is some encouragement, but he carries 59kg and lacks race experience against sharper profiles. Fitted with the three trials and look for him late.

Closed off better than sixth suggests at Scone last start, beginning slowly and racing keenly before making late ground to be beaten just over four lengths. That country run now has to stack up in harder company, but his Canberra debut third showed he can finish off when given room. Harder company, but a minor placing is within reach.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign with a fourth at Newcastle, where he was near the top of betting but slow away and could not come on as expected on heavy ground. The start prior had more substance when third in a Class 1 at Taree, beaten just under a length after being bumped and forced wide. Has a host of gear changes and likely to need this.

Returns from a one-month freshening after a plain first-up last at Newcastle, beaten over 16 lengths at big odds after settling midfield and failing to close off. The start prior at Kembla was also last, beaten over 14 lengths, and there was no clear excuse in either run. Blinkers go on but has to find a lot more.

Was safely held on debut at Hawkesbury, finishing last of six and beaten seven lengths after being unwanted in the market. She raced keenly early, so there is some scope to settle better second-up, and the $100,000 yearling purchase had won a Warwick Farm trial before starting out. Earlier trial win gives some hope, but race form has to lift sharply.
