#3 DESTINY’S BOUNTY has trialled up okay, would be surprised if won, but can go in exotics, can definitely run a place. #4 Double Coco hard to see winning off debut run but was a decent maiden and can improve, more exotics. After watching the trials again I think #7 NICKELBACK is the winner, can be positive with the inside barrier and lead, looked like there is a motor there, travelling in first gear, recent trial, that will not hurt around Gosford
$9 Tab attractive – I will be having something on Nickelback again, hoping they back Overlord late
Exotics – 2,3,4,7,13

#6 Letzxcel jumped out like he had some ability, trainer said pre-race he was a bit of a mixed bag on effort, thought was disapointing but pulled up with a poor recovery so couldn’t sack him off that. #9 ROSY BUBBLES is one I’ve liked for some time, good late on debut, winner goes alright and Buckland Abbey subs won, plenty of work and can win first up
Zooming Zebra late inclusion with the scratching of Magnus Bellagio

#1 Cosgara who could have improved since the trial, give time. #18 In Due Time form looks poor but given time too and tongue tie first time. Avg looking race, both starts were on soft ground, gets a dry track here, no big surprise to see big improvement, could even go forward, been well backed by the look of it
$41 – $31

#13 NUMPTY looked over odds for mine, can improve after the first up run, looked decent late, Rose Quartz won in town, lightly raced
