APPARATUS (4) is on debut for the Ben, Will & Jd Hayes stable. Three-year-old gelding by Trapeze Artist and was purchased for AUD $ 325,000 (Magic Millions 2022 Gold Coast Yearling Sale). Should be primed for a strong showing. Keep an eye on betting. BAD GIRL BUBBLES (7) raced on the pace last start and lifted strongly to hold third, beaten 7 lengths, over this journey at Cranbourne. Has the talent to take care of this field. MOUNT DOVE (10) turned in a moderate midfield finish when resuming from a lay-off two-and-a-half weeks ago over 6f at Mornington. Better for that run so she looks sure to run well. ABSCONDED WITNESS (3) stepped out on his debut over 5f at Warrnambool three weeks ago and finished fourth, beaten one length. Open to improvement and can feature.
