Verdict

LEVENS HALL (8) resumes. He wasn't all that far away on debut at Pakenham before tackling a much stronger race in town at Sandown Lakeside and dropping out. That's much stronger opposition than he'll face here and with natural improvement he'll go close. HANDSOME MISSILE (2) resumes. He was consistent last time in without winning, putting multiple minor placings together. This looks a winnable race fresh from an ideal draw. GILGEOUS (7) is a gelding by Farnan on debut for the Busuttin & Young stable. He's jumped out well enough and should be ready to go, watch the betting. SPEX (5) resumes. Two runs to date haven't been flash but she can be an improver. SANDZIBAR (9) wasn't beaten far on debut and has claims with improvement.
