Verdict

Not a huge amount of quality in this staying maiden that closes the card with Motueka setting the standard on his second last time out having previously looked a little quirky in bumpers although it was hard to crab his initial hurdles effort. The Fegal O’Brien yard are going well at the moment though and their BENECHENKO appreciated the longer trip when second to a potentially smart one (White Moon) at Wincanton last time. Shannon Bridge and Everbody’s Talkin will be interesting to note on their debuts under Rules with both yards capable of landing a debut winner.
  1. Benechenko
  2. Motueka
  3. Everybody's Talkin
