Verdict

CATONAHOTINROOF (5) has been racing well in tougher company, beaten 3.5L when setting the pace on a Heavy track at Newcastle most recently. This is an easier assignment today and she maps for a great run. Best form rates highly and she can notch up her maiden win. FACEOFF (3) disappointed on the Kenso last start in a tough race, but he was in good form prior. Alysha Collett rides with the tongue tie going on for the first time. Draw is a niggle, but has the figures to suggest he can get the job done. MISS BUGATTI (6) has shown good signs at the trials coming in, hitting the line most recently behind a midweek winner in her most recent outing. Likely to be back in the run, but this trip on debut should suit and she can make an impression. MALBORK CASTLE (1) has trialled well coming into this and he gets McDougall and the winkers on today. Can sit closer and play a role. Have to think TAXONOMY (7) is better than she showed on debut and can improve.

Going well. Most recently led but faded 3rd of 7 at Newcastle Mdn-Sw on April 23 over 1250m, on heavy track; 3.5 len behind Mignonette carrying 56.5kg at $9.50. The run before that 4th in a small field at Wyong Super Mdn-Sw on April 3 over 1200m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Reducio carrying 56.5kg at $6. Can improve again. Ready to open her account.

Third race start. First start got back early 4th in a small field at this track Mdn on November 24 over 1000m, 7 len behind Invincible Madison with 55kg at $9. Returned from break 6th of 10 at Goulburn Mdn-Sw on April 8 over 1000m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Power Smash carrying 55kg at $31. Looks up against it here and prefer others.

First starter by Star Turn out of Craigmoor Star. Has a total of two trials prior to his debut today. Unlikely to find enough improvement to trouble these.

Dual acceptor. Raced two times to date. At very long odds at debut, ran last of 9 at Cowra Ctry Mdn on March 10 over 1375m, 15 len behind Turn Left carrying 56kg at $101. Second-up second last of 8 at Queanbeyan Mdn on April 12 over 1200m, 13 len behind Party It Down with 52.5kg at $101. Others appeal more.
