Verdict

JOCK ROCK (6) made an encouraging debut last time out, racing on speed and was just edged out over 6 ¾f at this track. Back in trip but has upside and looks sure to measure up. FLYING FURTHER (7) debuted two weeks ago when she finished fourth over 5 ¾f at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Likely improver and worth following up. OUT OF THE SPHERE (2) was prominent at the turn and finished third last time over 5f at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 1.1 lengths. Fitter and is a leading contender. AWESOME ORPHAN (4) was beaten 4.5 lengths into fifth in a 6 ¾f contest at this track a week ago. Quick back-up and won't be far away. BLUE RENDEZVOUS (5) is a mare by Blue Point making her first appearance. Runner-up in a Devonport Synthetic trial over 4f on September 1. Profiles well and a bold run is expected.
