Prize Money: $11,832

VERBICI (1) impressed when he made the most of the inside draw to score a commanding win on debut at Bendigo, leading to cruise home by more than 35m. Looks to have talent and draws there again so could well do the same thing. REGAL GALA (5) has led to win twice within his last four starts, both at Maryborough when coming from similar draws to this. His strike rate at the distance stands at 50 per cent so he can make an impact again. SUMTHIN DIFFERENT (2) has been back to the trials since debuting with a solid third last time at Menangle so he should have come on and he draws closer to the pegs. CORPORATE AFFAIRS (7) has trialled since getting it wrong on debut so could be an improver.

Won on debut posted a big 35 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr1) at Bendigo (2:42.30) beating Aldebaran Jericho in 2yo MAIDEN on May 6 at $1.45 at the bell was leading 3.84. Showing promise and should get every chance to strike again from this draw.

Two-year-old colt lining up for the second time. At debut good run when 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at Menangle, at the bell was 2nd-0.54 beaten 10 m by Hilldale Hilton (1:58.60) in 2yo No NR on April 28 at $2.90. Will be better for that hitout and draws well.

Last start won by 1.0 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr4) at Maryborough (2:07.90) beating Orlando Veyron in 2yo No NR on May 11 at $1.65 at the bell was leading 1.8. Bold showing expected again.

Two-year-old colt (Majestic Son - Smokey Nova) making his debut. Finished second at Albion Park in a trial on May 7 over 2138m. Interesting to see him travel for his debut so watch the betting.

Two-year-old colt facing the starter for the second time. At debut was well beaten after breaking at Bendigo on May 6. Has trialled since getting it wrong on debut so could be an improver.

Well beaten last start by Regal Gala, a rival who he faces again; when 65 metres seventh at Maryborough over 1690m in a 2yo No NR race on May 11. Wait until the form picks up.
