Verdict

They don't come much tougher than this, mainly because there's not much form to speak of and a lot of these horses won't ever get a better chance to win a race. CRIES AND WHISPERS (2) might be best of a bad bunch. Won three trials coming into the campaign and can only be better for the first-up run, which is as good as any last-start performance of anything else in the race. INDEPENDANT LAD (13) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when sixth at Seymour over 6 ½f, beaten 6 lengths. Worth following up with that first run out of the way. THE ARCHER (6) finished third at Ballarat Synthetic two runs back but was less effective last time over 7f on the same track. Has the ability to play a role here. BLUES TRAVELER (12) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when sixth at Seymour over 6f, beaten 8 lengths. Not to be discounted. I'LLUVYOULONGTIME (11) has a tricky draw to contend with but tuned up for this with a nice Caulfield trial.

Horse Racing Basic Terms

Bullet

A bullet, or bullet workout, is a workout that was clocked as the best time for a certain distance on a given day.

Also Eligible

A horse that is entered but does not draw into the body of the field due to too many entries, and thus is not permitted to start unless there are enough scratches to shrink the field size.

Main Track Only

A horse entered for main track only (MTO) is one hoping the weather forecast or track conditions will move the race off the turf course and onto the main track. They are scratched the morning of the race if the conditions stay dry.
