Verdict

NOTES OF AUTUMN (14) stepped out on her debut from the outside gate with a battling ninth over 1200m at Doomben. Comes up with a low barrier in a very average Maiden. Expected to go close. DEEP AFFECTION (8) returned from a lengthy break for the new yard and travelled keenly in the early and middle stages with a dismal tenth over 1190m at Grafton. Blinkers come off and gets weight relief from the sticky draw. Improver in this contest. THE EPIC JOURNEY (11) gelding by The Odyssey from Miss Silky on debut for the Shalier yard. Had a total of four trials in readiness for this. No surprise to see him run well against this lineup. TIVACIOUS (4) Tivaci gelding from a Savabeel mare on debut for the James Healey stable. Recent trial had merit over 1000m at the Sunshine Coast. Claim compensates from the awkward gate. CAPTAIN BLOOD (9) has race fitness on his side and look for a better performance from the rails draw.
