Murray Bridge
Verdict
VOLSTAR (1) kicks off his career for the Stokes yard and looks ready-made after a stylish Gawler trial win. Opperman sticks from that hit-out and he shapes as the one they’ll need to get past. NICCTINI (5) is a Nicconi filly out of stakes-winning mare Rosmartini and represents the sharp T & C McEvoy juvenile system. She’s jumped out well at Flemington, gains blinkers for debut, and draws sweetly for Milnes. Expect her to play a major role. NEVAWASANANGEL (4) is by All Too Hard out of Down The Corridor - the dam of Listed winner and G3-placed Press Down. Has also jumped out nicely and brings the right profile to make an impact first-up. ZOUWIN (8) is a Zousain filly for Bain & Taylor and has also impressed in both lead-up hit-outs and shouldn’t be underestimated. VERZAIN (7) is another worth keeping in mind.
