Verdict

SOSUEME (4) lightly raced mare having her first start for the Godbolt yard. Taken back from the wide barrier and made up a little ground late with an even fifth over 5f at Muswellbrook. Has a host of gear changes from the soft draw. Expected to play a leading role. EMBODIMENT (6) King's Legacy filly from Epitomise on debut for the Kris Lees yard. Shown ability in the three trials and the blinkers go on. Big watch. MAGATAMA (9) has shown enough at the trials to suggest she can run a big race on debut. Has to be kept safe. Fellow debutant NAUTICAL TWILIGHT (10) should also be included.
