    Verdict

    My Mate Max, Marino Prince and Moonlitesilhouette are the trio to catch the eye and we take My Mate Max to score. Unconsidered on debut, he made an impressive last to first dash over seven furlongs and as this step up in trip is likely to suit, he is recommended against rivals that appear plenty exposed on paper. Marino Prince was in rude form a couple of months ago in plating company. He was easy to back last time out and ran accordingly on transferrance into this grade. Moonlitesilhouette was entered for a race here on Wednesday so it will be interesting to see what amounts from that scheduled visit. Boomtown has been ridden by an inexperienced pilot on his last two starts and Greg Fairley replaces on this occasion. Kryptonite is capable but not straightforward. Rich Kid also held an entry on Wednesday evening. My Mate Max has posed a question with the handicapper and if staying the trip, he can answer it in the positive.
