Verdict

TALIHINA SKY (11) is a three-year-old filly having her first run for the Gayna Williams yard. Returns after having mixed luck in three runs in her first prep in Victoria. Back without a trial and will find this more to her liking. GHIELMI (5) Toronado gelding out of Gamba on debut for the Mitch Beer yard. Has shown ability in two trials and will prove hard to catch. Leading rider booked and found a weak maiden. INITIATE (9) Widdup-trained filly who failed to come up in her first preparation. Finds a weak race to kick off and leading city apprentice engaged. Blinkers go on and must be kept safe. HIDDEN MOGUL (6) returns from a lengthy spell and now in the Marc Chevalier yard. Back without a trial and worth noting she's placed on the provincial circuit on debut. PATTERA (2) further improvement in store after knocking up late on his return from the wide gate. Will go forward again and represents good value.
