Verdict

This could turn out to be a very hot maiden with some promising once-raced types opposed by a trio of well-bred newcomers. John Gosden may well know how he stands with Fraser Island who he beat with a newcomer (Beatboxer) on that one’s debut and he now introduces another potentially smart debutante in TOO DARN HOT who is related to two smart sisters (So Mi Dar and Lar Ti Dar) who both scored on their debuts. Calculation a son of Gold Cup winner Estimate is another fascinating debutante with the once-raced pair Brian Epstein and Lethal Guest two others that add to the depth of this contest.
  1. Too Darn Hot
  2. Fraser Island
  3. Brian Epstein
