Ran well on debut at big odds and was not beaten far by Rock the Ring. Bit plain first up but the 2nd horse has since won and Lil’ Rich Girl has subsequently gone okay. Barringer the danger, has upside and brings the best benchmark figures into this race.

#14 TAYLOR’S DREAM
Poor run first up behind a couple of nice types, did pull up with a slow recovery so we can forgive. If she rocked up and performed at her best, she has a bit on these.

Has been held up slightly at past couple of runs but still making a bit of ground late. Flying Mascot looks a far better horse to me than any of these here. Blinkers go on for the first time so hopefully goes forward and extra distance should help.
Trials before the debut caught the eye. Found them a bit sharp first up over the 1250m but still battled on okay to the line and the winner has since franked the form. Extra distance helps.
Sat three wide no cover last start on a fast pace. Still learning what it’s all about but looked to knuckle down late and hit the line well. Gave Me You goes okay.

#2 FLYING SCOTSMAN
I thought there was some merit in the debut run, finishing behind Triple Ace. The second start was disappointing but he was hampered so we can be forgiving.
