Verdict

CHLOE FIRST (5) resumes. She was in the market on debut in her only race to date at Benalla when battling away for fourth but looks to have come back well this time around, winning a recent jumpout here. Suspect she'll do much better this time around. BOLD SUITOR (2) was well backed first up at Mornington over this trip, just even there when fifth, pulling up with excuses. He's since been given a letup and can do much better now. SASSIDORA (8) found 6 ½f a bridge too far fresh at Sandown Hillside, solid in third behind a dominant winner back to this trip last time. She lands in a good spot here and runs well. BIG KAPOW (1) is a gelding by Atomic on debut for the Rory Hunter yard. He's been jumping out well and should be respected. EPIC JEWEL (6) is a Magnus filly on debut who can run well.
