Verdict

MAKHACHEV (5) unwanted in betting on debut when coming out of a strong race to run third over 6 ½f at Randwick Kensington behind Lancelot Du Lac. Gets the right run again and Jason Collett retains the ride. SNITZEL MISS (13) deep into her prep and can overcome the awkward draw with Grima's claim. Chased hard behind the promising Jet when a narrow second over 6 ½f at Warwick Farm. Sure to be strong late with just 115lbs to shoulder. BOTTLES OF SHELLS (15) raced without luck from the sticky draw on debut when a plugging sixth over 5 ½f at Canterbury. Improver out to this trip in the bigger field. PERFORMANCE (12) bounced off her two good trials on debut with a tough on speed second over 5 ½f at Canterbury. Has further upside to come and must be respected despite drawing poorly.
