Verdict

BETTER BLITZEM (1) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 5f at Townsville four weeks ago. Has plenty of upside and should go on with it. WASABI BARBIE (9) is a Rock Sturdy filly who was a AUD $4,000 (Magic Millions 2025 Capricornia Yearling Sale) purchase. Placed in a recent trial and should run well on debut. SCOTCH ROCKET (7) is a first-starter by Glenfiddich out of Beau River. Placed in a recent trial. A betting push will add to the confidence. ANDERS KISS (5) is a two-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Lachie Manzelmann. By Anders from Stellar Kiss. Proved too sharp in a recent Mackay trial and rates a top-three chance.
