Verdict

JUDY'S SMARTIES (7) sat behind the leaders on the outer and let go well to win a 1000m trail in September then 3 back on rails from the one gate was blocked for a run in a good field at Matamata. Should have run at least 3rd last time. Top show here. KRYPTON (6) has placed in both trials this prep, the latest a stylish 3rd from well back on the turn. Ready for a big debut. FACILITATE (1) led and fought well for a close 2nd over 1200m 2 starts back then up to 1500m but caught wide on the speed and faded September 13. Vet issue no help last time. Forgive. IN HARMONY (9) made ground from last when 1st-up at 1050m and ran on well again for 3L 6th behind Admiral Vos and Purple Strike over 1200m last time. More ground ideal here. FINOZINO (10) led all the way to win her latest trial under a hold September 8 then sat outside leader and tried hard in 2L 5th to Petite Roacher on debut here. Improver.
