Verdict

BALLISTIC STAR (1) debuts and brings two big trial wins from the track, with the latest over 5f. Jumps from an inside barrier and has the blinkers on for the first time. Looks to have plenty of talent, and a bold run is on the cards. VALOURI (10) had been well educated and went close at Lismore on debut. Has a handy 7lbs claim and has been kept on the fresh side. In good hands and will keep improving. Wary of LISTEN JANI (9), who debuts for the premier stable owning an easy Doomben trial win. The gate is a touch awkward, but she's likely to be good enough to manage. SAN GIMIGNANO (14) is an improver briefly freshened and should be around the mark.
