Panda beat home Hallo Poppet at Avoca and that mare has subsequently won three races. Last start was terrible but has been given a decent spell and returned with a jump-out at Avoca and looked to travel well against Helicopter and a few gallopers that have subsequently gone well on debut, including Supreme Thunder and Mona Dream.

#12 LIBERATA
She may have come back a better horse this preparation. I thought the jump-outs were decent before the first up run at Ballarat but I could not tip her because her form was fairly poor. She looked to be travelling very well when blocked for a run last time out so todays the day we can have something EW.
TRALEE ROSE destroyed her opposition first up over 1700m. It was maiden grade, but the time rated extremely well and Culily Ace who she beat by 9L has since won.
Won a jump-out at Caulfield and did so in good time. Looks a nuggety type and stable know their babies. Fake Love obvious danger and Butter Blonde looks value for exotics.

#16 AMURI
AMURI was disappointing on debut but she was thrown in the deep end going to a stakes race and finishing behind subsequent Coolmore winner September Run. The second start she gave the opposition a spanking and stamped herself as a promising filly. No doubt Written Beauty looks hard to beat but this filly looks decent EW odds. ZOUSHINE is worth including in exotics at big odds.

#1 CHESTNUT SCAFFA
Not a big bet here but was not disgraced in a trial behind Emeralds and Kuzco Lad. Not a bad effort for a maiden galloper. Recent trial was okay too, was not overly tested late and looked to be under own steam.

#11 SKIP TO MY
Not sure if this filly was up against much in the trial but she won with a bit of style and definitely had plenty more to give. I think when asked for an effort she can show a turn of foot. I think Lessing is the best of the raced bunch.
