Verdict

Tricky race to assess with a few of these facing the starter for the first time. Of the raced brigade BLUE MOVES (11) has placed two from two over this course and distance since joining the new stable and Wilson-Taylor sticks in the irons following that last-start placing. Drawn to get a perfect run in transit from gate three and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. CAMBRIDGE BAY (5) is on debut but has shown ability at the trials and any market support must be noted. ABSINTHE CAT (1) has gotten better with each run and may earn a cheque with the 2kg claim. KENNY THE BAKER (8) is sure to be well-educated from the Vandyke barn and should be kept safe. IMMINENT BOOM (7) next in line from the inside alley.

David Vandyke trained three-year-old gelding lining up for debut. Full-brother to six-time winner Epicurious. Dam was a four-start maiden. Impressive winner at his only trial. Looks a capable type and will be competitive.

Gelding by Merchant Navy making his first appearance. Half-brother to five-time winner and Group 2 performed Newlands. Dam was a winner of one race. Trial form indicates he's up to a solid debut. Won trial at Doomben over 840m on November 19. Any market support will add to the confidence.
