Verdict

Backing horses having their third run presents a few imponderables for punters and a close watch on the betting surrounding Mugeba will give the best indication as to how well the daughter of Primo Dominie is progressing. However, she fared well against a potentially fair sort last time and is fancied to build on that effort today. Anisette was very disappointing over course and distance last week and is opposed with the Barry Hills-trained Honest Injun as the main danger to the selection. While Heversham would not need to be anything out of the ordinary to make an impact on his belated debut. He has bags of speed in his pedigree and it should not be overlooked if he is expected to go close at the first time of asking. However, experience does count for plenty in races of this nature so Mugeba is given the benefit of the doubt and is selected as the form pick to lose his maiden tag.
