Verdict

SHOT was having her first start since September and making her handicap debut when finishing closer over track and trip. She should make a bold bid with any further progress. Sofia Cat and More Than A Grey are others open to improvement now handicapping but novice winner Galaxy Gazer finished last of nine on her handicap bow. Confederation is a maiden winner on Turf and may prove best of the rest.
