Verdict

BUSTLING CITY (11) has trialled well either side of his first two runs, jumping a $1.50 favourite here on debut. He disappointed at Happy Valley most recently, but his trials since have been sharp for Avdulla. Draws ideally for the straight course out wide and he can bounce back with a bang. STORM MIRROR (8) is on debut today and has been trialling well for James Orman and Pierre Ng. He's drawn right out which suits the straight course and he was very impressive in his latest head over this course and distance. Looks to have plenty of ability and can make a statement on debut. MASTER PAYMENT (4) missed by 0.5L on debut here in a strong performance after being held up at a crucial stage. Purton hops on board now and he'll have plenty of room to move drawing the inside. Can go one better without surprising. GRAND NOVA (6) can feature with improvement expected following a solid first-up effort at Happy Valley.
