Verdict

BELLISH BOY (4) is set to make a bright debut after scoring comfortably at the Avondale trials in the middle of last month. He will be looking for more ground soon enough, but can still get away with a sharp sprint here. Let the market be the best guide. CLEAR CONSCIENCE (6) made some progress as a 3-year-old last season, and probably lacked some strength. Her recent trials suggest she is on track to make a solid start to this season. Each way claims, despite the tricky gate. GALLINDA (10) was put aside after not having much luck on debut at Ellerslie earlier in the season. She was close up in a recent trial, and should not be taken lightly. BELLE NOIRE (13) resumes from a spell with a good draw. She benefits from a 4lbs claim and has to be respected, especially if the money comes for her. MADAME KIWI (8) resumes from a spell and will be a lot stronger this season. Check the market moves.
