Verdict

Plenty of question marks surround POINT VEGA (5) on debut but she is worth the gamble. Has trialled once, scoring by 7.2 lengths on the inner track here back in July, and has not been produced since. Clearly very smart but the betting on race day will tell the tale. GEITZ (14) was in the money for the fourth time in her career recently, catching the eye in the closing stages of an 5 ½f Gatton maiden. Very fit after two runs back and has placed two of three at 5f. Plenty to like about her chances. HELLO PUNTERS (8) last raced seven weeks ago when in the money over 4f at Kilcoy. Will go fast and give backers a sight. TROFEO (6) on debut is worth monitoring closely as the Vandyke yard has a reputation with the newcomers.

Point Vega silk

Paul Jenkins trained three-year-old gelding lining up for debut. Spaced his opposition in a trial win last July and hasn't been sighted since. Betting crucial but on what we have seen he is above average.
