Verdict

JUST FOR KICKS (1) looks very well placed off a strong debut at Sale, getting too far back off a slow speed there but really getting moving late to grab second behind a well-ridden winner. The splits there suggested he'd be winning a maiden soon and up to 1m from a better draw looks ideal. TOP LINER (6) was sent out as a $20 chance on debut here but ran very well behind one with good form. She can improve off that and take catching. SEABORN (3) is a colt by Sea The Stars on debut for the Matt Laurie yard. He's jumped out quite well and the 1m will be right up his alley given his breeding. Keep safe. LA DIVINA (4) has had a few chances but is going okay and has each-way claims. ROCKETTE (5) is a So You Think filly who can run well.
