Verdict

GOOD HOTSPUR (5) nice colt resuming after showing a ton of ability in his first campaign. Finished a game second to Skyhook over 6f in the G3 Pago Pago at Rosehill last March. Given the two solid trials and the tongue-tie goes on. The one to beat. LAMBERTINA (12) Blue Point filly from Bargain on debut for the O'Shea & Charlton stable. Has impressed in both trials and the lugging-bit and tongue-tie go on. Must be kept safe from the inside barrier. HEREWARD (6) resumes from a lengthy break. Showed a ton of ability in his first prep when narrow seconds in two strong races. Primed for this with the two sharp trials and has the speed to get over from the draw. Genuine prospect. KUMBAYA (11) three-year-old filly by North Pacific from Glamour Gal on debut for the Waller yard. Fitted with the four trials and the lugging bit goes on from the good barrier. Keep safe.
