Tricky race to assess with a few of these facing the starter for the first time.Of the raced brigade AFFIRMATIONS (6) was at long odds on debut but didn't shirk the task finishing a handy fourth at Bairnsdale.Has since been given time to mature and looks capable of further improvement.BIRKS (2) resumes here but showed some talent in his two runs before the spell and hails from a good barn.Can run a race while fresh.ATOYO (1) wasn't too far away in his first run for the new stable and gets some weight off with the claim.Top-three contender.MISS MINERVA (10) was a touch plain last start but go on the solid third in a.Worth another chance.CONFINE (7) next in line with race experience now under the belt.
