He went to the line untested in the first trial. The second trial he finished 3rd in an open trial behind Toro Toro. Muscadelle ran well at Tamworth, Potts Point has subsequently won. Whatyoulookingat should be in the finish, over raced a bit last start but still stuck on okay. I might be a bit biased but I think the 2nd placed horse Rose Bouquet probably should have franked the form.

#6 NICCI TRIX
She bolted in last start when winning the maiden. The time rated well on the clock and I think she can measure up to something like a Highway race.
I think this filly did a good job to run 3rd on debut over 1400m. They went fast early there at Ballarat so she did a good job to keep kicking and only be 1.35L behind the winner. I expect her to be out and rolling again and may get a softer lead this time. Visualising will be flashing late and possibly Magnetic Dash.

Was okay on debut after being last on the fence turning for home, made some ground in the straight to finish 3rd. Should be competitive with natural improvement because this is not the strongest maiden. Tuffask has been racing in decent maidens and deserves one more chance with the winkers going on.

Was unlucky not to figure in the finish at Cranbourne and then went poorly at Bendigo but was too bad to be true in my opinion. Bandages off and blinkers on.
Field of Roses did a good job on debut. He found interference in the straight but I liked the way he still knuckled down late to finish the race off. Expect he will be better up in distance. I am a bit puzzled to see Loveplanet so short in the market. I think Benetti looks over the odds after being held up on the turn at Ballarat and that race rated very well on the clock for a maiden. Polina also went well on debut and the 3rd horse Lacrima has franked the form.
I think this son of Savabeel has some upside. He over raced slightly on debut and still proved too strong late, winning in good time for maiden class. Most of these look to have found there mark to my eye and with natural improvement this guy can take the next step.
