Verdict

LADY MARIANA (8) makes her debut with a nice trial at Canberra under her belt. She was meant to debut last week when at the top of betting at Canberra but was scratched with a slight issue. Finds a winnable race again today and can make an immediate impact. REBEL TERRA (6) also has upside after working home evenly for third on debut at Moruya on soft ground. Out to 1100m this time is a big tick and he should be better for the debut effort. Can feature in the finish yet again. COOL AS TED (1) comes through a narrow Cootamundra second and has already placed twice around this distance. Fitter for that effort now and she won't be far away. STEFFIEWAH (2) nearly pinched it at Moruya at long odds and did finish ahead of Rebel Terra there. That form looks strong for this and she's not to be discounted on the back of that form. ALOTOFSOJU (3) is next best.

Verdict
Makes debut off the right kind of lead-up, with her latest trial a solid second at Canberra last month. Alysha Collett is a notable booking and this filly gets in with 55.0kg from a favourable draw. Was at the top of betting before being a late scratching last week but she finds a better race now and if she's over the issue, she can make a winning start to her career.

Verdict
Debuted with a solid third at Moruya, working home evenly on soft ground after being among the outsiders and finishing just over three lengths from Czech Me. That came after a trial last month, so he should take benefit from the race experience. Finished off nicely before a handy type on debut and the rise in trip looks to suit.

Verdict
Resumed with a much sharper effort at Cootamundra, leading and fighting on for second behind Brave Summit, beaten a long neck at generous odds. That was a clean rebound from his second last at Queanbeyan before the break, where he was beaten over 14 lengths. Caught late on resumption but with that run under his belt, he can feature in the finished.

Verdict
Went close at Leeton last start, settling just off the speed and being beaten a head by Alice Alice after picking up well. The Corowa run prior was plain when sixth over 900m at big odds, albeit after beginning awkwardly. Can put her best foot forward.

Verdict
Closed strongly from the back at Moruya last start and was beaten only a head by Czech Me on soft ground, despite starting at long odds. The Canberra run prior reads better than seventh suggests after he raced four wide without cover. That form looks strong for this race and he can feature once again.

Verdict
Made debut at Moruya on soft ground and was never a factor, finishing last behind Czech Me and beaten over 11 lengths after beginning slowly and racing wide. The inside barrier and Keagan Latham booking are positives, and there is still scope second-up, but he was also beaten clearly by Rebel Terra in that same race. Must lift sharply.

Verdict
Makes debut after two trials, the latest at Kembla Grange two weeks ago when seventh over 800m but beaten only 2.50 lengths. That gives some recent grounding, though there is no race-day evidence to lean on and the draw is not ideal. Others bring stronger evidence.

Verdict
Had some early trouble at Cootamundra when bumped and taken back from a wide barrier, but she still finished last and was beaten just over seven lengths. Her previous run at Goulburn was also last, beaten over 13 lengths after beginning slowly and never looking likely. Looking to others.
