Verdict

EVICTION NOTICE (6) returns a gelding for the Waterhouse & Bott camp after tackling premiere 2YO contests in his first two preps. Looks to have come on a treat from the ultimate gear change and is expected to take some running down from in front. CASTILLO KING (3) is a Farnan colt on debut for Michael Freedman. Has shown good ability in his two trials and gets a key booking in Berry from the inside alley. Sure to be very competitive. STRONGHOLD (11) is another promising colt on debut, a son of Harry Angel for team Baker. Has shown enough early muster in his lead-up work to suggest he can cross easily enough from the wide alley and be in this for a long way. AURORA BOOM (2) is another Farnan progeny having their first look and appears to have ability. Could be slicing through late. GERROA (7) has been safely held at the trials but suspect they've been sneakily good. Have to include with Lloyd booked.
