Verdict

GASPARDO (3) was very good in his debut campaign, ending his campaign in a $50k maiden at Ascot where he wasn't disgraced. His recent trial was just fair, but he was given a very easy hit-out and he was only narrowly edged out on debut. Finds a suitable race and looks to have a class edge. LADY COCO (7) has gone under narrowly his past two, including as the $2.70 favourite over 5f at this track last time out. She should be up on the speed from the inside barrier once again and she'll prove tough to run down. WRITTEN SIN (8) showed enough in her debut campaign and trialled nicely behind a subsequent winner recently. Faithfull stays in the saddle from that trial and she's expected to be right in the finish. MEGAMERIT (4) is better than she showed last time out, beaten 5.5L. This suits better and she's not to be discounted. DENVER AFFAIR (12) wasn't beaten far at massive odds at Pinjarra last start. Can feature in this easier maiden.
