Verdict

A couple of the raced brigade look smart, although it's hard to get a handle on all of the first starters. ARTISTIC ANGEL (11) showed ability last campaign and looked sharp at the trial earlier this season. Her first-up run was only fair and she's capable of much better. She's drawn well and has no weight after the claim for the stable apprentice. Think she can lead and win. CAPITALEX (1) lines up for the new stable with a decent record of four placings from eight starts. He's tackled stronger maidens than this and his recent trial suggested he's ready to go. Liked what GOLDEN TUNES (8) did on debut in the south-east. This is harder but he's open to improvement. Of the first starters, perhaps include GOOD EXPECTATIONS (12) and DI SAVOIA (7).
