KIRCHMEYER (4) won his latest trial as a gelding for the first time, and he is in good hands to make his debut. A reasonable draw will help him, and if the money comes for him, then he is the one to beat. ZAVISION (14) was a brave fourth fresh up here after winning a trial on this track, and then led up and only faded late on a testing heavy track at Riccarton just over 4 weeks ago. A wide gate might be ok if the track is heavy again, and she should pick up her first win at short notice. RED STAR SOOT (3) made up for an average debut performance with a bold run for second at Riccarton just over 2 weeks ago. He again benefits from a 3kg claim and can go one better. BRUTAL RIFF (16) has been showing promise at the trials, and he was gelded prior to his third placing at his most recent hit-out. Let the market be the best guide. BIG EXIT (9) was rather disappointing at Ascot Park 6 days ago, and maybe the quick backup is just what she needs. Stick with her on an each-way basis at odds.
