Verdict

Interesting way to start the day and DONE LEAVY (6) looks to have struck a nice race after an adequate debut, where she finished fourth over 6f at Yarra Valley. Knocked up late that day after leading, so drop in trip suits and kept up to the mark with a recent Flemington trial placing. TOROKAWA (10) missed the frame on debut, beaten 2.75 lengths when fourth over 5f at Cranbourne, but will be better for that experience and there's probably not as much top-end class here. CABARET QUEEN (5) stuck on well last start to finish second over 5f at Pakenham after showing good early speed. That was an improved effort on the first-up run and she could go on with it here. UYUNI (11) is resuming from a spell and having her first run for Matt Jenkins. Comes into this off a second placing in a Cranbourne 5f trial, so should be primed to go. JASMINA (4) disappointed in two runs last prep but has changed stables since and was a nice recent trial winner.
