Verdict

PARTY DAY (9) rolled along in front fresh and gave a big sight off a long break, finishing runner-up here behind Tikken. Fitter and will take beating again. UNA PALOMA BLANCA (10) is another close to getting off the mark. Placed in the same race as Party Day last time and over the longer trip looks a leading player to reward the patience of connections at career start nine. FRANCIUM (6) is better than the last run suggests however was strong at Launceston when ridden positively and now gets blinkers added. NICALBI (4) was safely held in the Party Day race but will strip much fitter for the fresh-up run.
