Verdict

ANTHROPOLOGY (5) disappointed as favourite Mackay on debut and then looked a run short when finding one better at Emerald, heavily bet. Has an awkward barrier but a top hoop stays aboard. The Clinton Taylor yard strikes at 27% at this track and is hard to risk. PENROD (4) led them up and missed a nose at Emerald on the same day. Has claims if things go his way. READY MAREA (11) debuts at home for the local Hansen yard and owns a comfortable trial win at the track. Maps okay and the betting will be key with her. VILLANDRY (1) resumes and has placed 2/3 fresh. May need one, but he'll be around the mark if presented forward.
