Verdict

DRAXON (6) faces the starter for the first time. By Poster Boy and hails from the Kerryann Morris stable. Looks to have some ability based on a recent trial win. Any push in betting will add to the confidence. DEPASSANT (5) is racing well with four top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a second at Newcastle over 1 ¼m. His recent form is good enough to put him right in the finish. STELLAR STRIDE (4) last appeared when seventh over 1m at Menangle ten months ago. Expect a better effort to kick off this prep. TARA JIM (1) is a three-year-old gelding by Tiger Tara from Katesaroyal on debut. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Well-placed to score at his first appearance.
