Verdict

2-year-old debutantes and the late betting moves will be instructive. ARISTOPOLOS (1) brings a 6L trial win from Hobart and has the rail to guide him around. Has a high striking hoop aboard, and on what we've seen is the one to beat. MOMENTSLIKETHESE (7) showed enough in her Hobart trial to suggest she can feature. The premier jockey takes the mount, and she'll get every chance. BRUTAL EMPIRE (2) has had three trials and won the latest easily at Longford. Loses the rider to Aristopolos, and Pires is engaged. TOO POETIC (9) has also trialled well. She has to manage the outside barrier, but may be good enough regardless.
