Verdict

APPARENTLY (11) has raced well since switching to the Melissa Dennett yard this prep. Stalked the pace and looked the winner but missed by a whisker last start over this course and distance. In form jockey and trainer - this looks her big chance to break through. ROYAL DEFENSE (10) was caught on a limb so his effort to finish a close fourth last time out over today's distance at Dubbo had merit. Very fit and with luck from an awkward gate can play a major role. NUGGET SMART (4) has been kept fresh since tiring to finish midfield on debut over 1200m here back on 23 December. Four subsequent winners have come from that race. Keep him safe. JUKEBOX EDITION (2) went to the lead a fair way out then found one a bit better over 1200m here recently. Now a thirty-three-start maiden so each-way the best option. SUBSIDISE (12) on debut for Brett Cavanough is a big market watch following a strong trial win at Scone in September.

Filly by Capitalist making her first appearance. Has looked handy in her trials leading into this. Won a Scone trial over 900m on September 11. Hasn't been seen for a while so the betting will tell the story.

Second-up. First-up after five months ran last of 12 at Muswellbrook Mdn-Sw on February 3 over 900m, 8 len behind Wedding Planner with 58.5kg at $201. Previously second-up 9th of 11 at Muswellbrook 2yo Mdn on July 29 over 1000m, on a wet track; 8 len behind Dravid carrying 56kg at $151. Looks a fair way off peak form so others are preferred.

Jumped at a huge quote at debut, sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 14 at this track Ctry Mdn-Sw on December 23 over 1200m, 3 len behind Peninsula carrying 59kg at $61. Certainly deserves another chance.
