Verdict

GIRLS WEEKEND (8) disappointed in a plain winter debut, but two recent trials have been much classier. Well drawn for a premier stable. Can turn things around here. PUERTO BANUS (4) draws wide but recent form is very consistent. Rock hard fit for this and proven at these short course excursions. Strong local hope. BENT AS HELL (5) is doing everything but win one in recent times and has the credentials to take seriously here. Fought hard at this track and trip last start and only needs a repeat to earn more coin. STRAAND CARE (1) has looked in good nick in two most recent trials and stable can punch them out on debut. With a well-used claim is a must keep safe option.

Colt by Extreme Choice facing the starter for the first time. Recent trial form has been pretty solid. Won a Wyong trial over 1000m on November 26. Looking at others at this time unless there's a significant move in the market.

Three-year-old gelding (Shalaa - Fallgold) will no doubt benefit from the two trials leading in today's debut. Fifth at Warwick Farm in a 800m trial on November 19. Hard to tip him with any confidence at debut.
