Verdict

COMPENSATION (5) debuts on the back of some excellent trial form. By Written Tycoon from a Snitzel mare. Bjorn Baker-trained three-year-old who looks ready to make his mark on race day. LOOK HERE (9) returns from a five-month break for a second campaign. Placed three times when last in work, all at the provincials. Recent trial winner who should run a forward race. METALLIC CAT (8) and MUMBAI MAHARANI (10) are first starters from the Waterhouse/Bott camp. Metallic Cat is a four-year-old mare by Pierata who has been the more impressive of the two at the trials. Tim Clark opting for this mount suggests it is the one preferred by the stable. Mumbai Maharani lacks nothing on pedigree - by I Am Invincible from a Fastnet Rock mare. Trialling okay and should give a good account. Recent Hawkesbury trial winner CASTLEJOHN (3) is well-educated and can run well.
