Verdict

BE ON THE EXPRESS (5) is a two-year-old gelding from the Matthew Williamson yard on debut. Has strong trial form coming into this. Out of a mare who won at Group 2 event. Finds a nice race so anticipating a bright start to his career. JOHN SPARTAN (13) resumed from a spell last start and ran a game race to finish fourth at Kaikoura over 1 ½m as the favourite after he raced parked out with 6 ¾f to run. Has ability and should be right in the finish. CARLTON BAY (2) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1 ½m at Kaikoura in what was his second run this prep. KING CHARLES (16) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth as the favourite over 1 ¼m at Phar Lap Raceway on October 25. Each-way prospect.
