Verdict

ABYDOS (1) stormed home at any old price to be beaten just over a length on debut over 6 ¼f at Geelong. Settled back again last start over this trip at Sale but struggled to reel them in. Meets a weaker field today and looks an excellent chance to open the account. RENTIER (8) has made a promising start to his career. Missed the placings for the first time last start but recorded by far his best rating when beaten less than a length over 6f at Swan Hill. Gets winkers on for the first time and should enjoy the extra 1f. NEVER PEGASUS (5) made it three minor placings in a row when just denied as a short-priced favourite over a similar trip to this at Naracoorte recently. Might settle off the pace this time with the blinkers removed. One of the key contenders. PIKLEMEGRANMOTHER (11) was 45-days between runs when a close fourth over 6f at the Bool last start. Big chance over the longer journey today. VAULTED (9) lines up for only the second time and can improve sharply.
