OVERVIEW: HEAVENLY GEM (2) is an exciting young filly. She finished third in the Vicbred Super Series Final behind Kahula and Ideal Frankie after flashing home impressively. That followed a very strong heat performance where she raced in the breeze. She’s versatile and has plenty of ability. CASTERTON (11) is an Emma Stewart-trained performer having his second start. He got it wrong with his manners on debut and tailed out, but he had trialled well beforehand. Stable respect here. HOSO MAGIC (10) doesn’t have the strongest numerical form, but she has been competing in the Vicbred Super Series. She faces another tough assignment from a challenging barrier here, but she has ability. TECHYS WISH (7) is a first starter for Nathan Jack. She was second in a recent trial.
