Verdict

STAR RAPPER (2) on top in the opener. He debuted at Pakenham over 1200m and ran well after showing early speed, beaten by a handy one but holding down second comfortably. With natural improvement and Blake Shinn taking the ride, he can go one better. JUST LIKE GABY (10) is the big danger. A daughter of multiple Group 1 winner Loving Gaby, she hasn't quite yet lived up to her namesake, but she hit the line strongly over this route fresh and showed promise last time in. She'll be hard to hold out. GROUSE MOUNTAIN (6) ran well fresh behind Pop Award who has won in town again since. Expecting that form to hold up nicely. STEAMY MIST (11) is a filly by Headwater on debut. She's been jumping out well on multiple occasions and must be respected. KNOCK ME OUT (4) is a Capitalist colt on debut who won a recent jump out and has Damian Lane booked.

Dual acceptor. Three-year-old colt (Capitalist - Knockout Girl) will no doubt benefit from the two trials leading in today's debut. Fourth over 1000m in a Hawkesbury trial on February 1 2024. Keep safe.
