Verdict

WINTERINTHECAPITAL (9) makes most appeal on debut after her latest trial produced a close second at Kembla Grange. The Gary Portelli-trained mare also has a half-sibling who placed on debut over 5f, which adds some support to the profile. Boudvillain's booking is a big tick and she can debut with a bang. CHUMPAKIDD (1) is the best exposed danger after being beaten just under a length at Orange, where he moved into the race and was only grabbed late. Third-up fitness is in his favour, though his record around 5f still leaves a small query. AERIALIZE (11) has race fitness and a genuine excuse after being bumped and racing wide at Orange, so she stays in the mix if she handles the quick back-up. DOUBLE RAINBOW (6) won't be far away coming back in trip.

9	Makes her debut with a solid grounding, most notably a close second in her latest trial at Kembla Grange over 4f. That was her second trial this campaign and gives the Gary Portelli-trained mare enough readiness for a country Mdn. Impressive in her latest trial and she can make a bright start to her career. 1st Pick 9 Winterinthecapital Jockey: Pierre Boudvillain Trainer: Gary Portelli J: Pierre Boudvillain T: Gary Portelli	54	-	-	-	11%	17/2

1	Went very close at Orange last start, sitting just behind the leaders before moving up on the turn and being pipped late, beaten just under a length by Kennedy Compound. His Hawkesbury run prior had more merit than sixth reads, as he raced wide without cover. Rates well on that effort and there may be more to come third-up. 2nd Pick 1 Chumpakidd Jockey: Jess Taylor Trainer: Con Karakatsanis J: Jess Taylor T: Con Karakatsanis	138	-	-	-	40%	6/4

7	Makes her debut after three trials, with the latest an 4f Kembla Grange win that points to a suitable level of readiness. She was a $90,000 yearling purchase and the trainer-sire combination has produced solid place returns, while full sibling Legendary Diva won four races. Looks forward enough to be a serious chance. 3rd Pick 7 Parisian Heiress Jockey: Non Runner Trainer: Mitchell Beer & George Carpenter J: Non Runner T: Mitchell Beer & George Carpenter	81	-	-	-	23%	Scratched
