Verdict

AIN'T A BAD DAY (5) turned in a solid run on debut last start, beaten 0.8 lengths into second at Seymour over 5f when was specked at a huge price ($71 into $31). Likely improver who should prove tough to beat. POISED TYCOON (15) was plain on debut but has been gelded since and has shown great speed winning his past two jumpouts. Blinkers on for the return on the home deck are big ticks. TASSORTING (9) is yet to break through after three career starts. Could only manage to finish fifth last time out over 6f at Kyneton following a minor placing at Kyneton over 5 ½f the run prior. JACK THE JUDGE (8) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in third over 5f at this track.
