Very strong maiden. SILENT ANSWER has strong form lines chasing home Venetian Choice, who had run well against Shystar (winner of the $250k Final at Ballarat) which ties in with Storm Leopard form. Chased Lyric N Song and latter then placed in stakes company. STORM LEOPARD won't be restrained from the inside barrier and comes through a strong form reference here on debut with winner and runner up Ten Warrior close up in $250k final on Ballarat Cup day. KING MAYWIN was wide in the Storm Leopard race and ran a brave third. HIS LADY BAY improved at second run last preparation when making ground in open 2yo event at Sandown Lakeside. GOLD CHARIOT was wide, but stuck on well in Cranbourne jump out when close behind Amieto who is metro 70-80 class. SOLDIER BOI hit line nicely in Ararat jumpout and leading rider engaged.
