Verdict

Slight leaning to the resuming OUR BRAVE BOY (1) who debuted in a hot maiden at Pakenham back in January, well backed there when just going down by a nose. He can improve with a break under the belt and go one better here. RUBARE (2) is coming off good win here, sent out a big price but proving too speedy in front. She'll kick up from the inside gate and take plenty of catching again. BOURNE LEGACY (3) is a gelding by Nicconi on debut for the Freedman yard. He looked good winning a recent Sydney trial at Randwick, have to respect the top yard switching states to bring him here. VEGA VIXEN (10) is a filly by Lucky Vega for the McEvoy yard who has been trialling nicely. The stable have a good strike rate with their juveniles and they've scratched a few times in search of the right race. LOCARD (11) is a possible improver off an even debut at Bendigo.
