Verdict

Looks a race between the debutants. SARA'S ROCKET (8) is a Castelvecchio mare on debut from the Mark Minervini yard. She caught the eye with a sharp trial placing here in readiness and gets in light with the claim. Drawn wide but has the talent to overcome it and should make a bold first impression. LOGAN DOWNS (10) is also an appealing debutant. By Shalaa out of Serene Miss and showed ability in a recent Muswellbrook trial. Blinkers go straight on and he looks set to make his presence felt. LOBBYIST (13) is another well-bred filly who has shown promise in her lead-up work. A big watch for any market push. RODEO DEALER (2) next best.
