Verdict

CLANWILLIAM (1) tongue-tie goes on after he showed a ton of fight to secure second over 1m at Kembla Grange in a Super Maiden. Was five-weeks between runs last start and strips fitter now. Ready to get off the mark. CELESTIAL GRACE (8) turned in an encouraging run first-up, settling back from the sticky gate before winding up to finish fourth over 6f at Kembla Grange. Returned in good order and leading apprentice retains the ride. Shapes as the main danger. CORAL COVE (2) far from disgraced on debut when fifth over this trip at Kembla Grange. Place best in the small field. GOSH ALMIGHTY (6) King's Legacy gelding out of Gosh on debut for the Portelli yard. Well educated for this with his recent trials and worth thought.
