OVERVIEW: TWIGSTAR (2) is a very exciting prospect for trainer Scott Ewen and the daughter of Poster Boy goes in search of a fourth win in succession to start her career in the Sapling Stakes for two-year-old fillies. All three of her victories have been stunning, including a dominant front-running success last time out at Melton on October 23 when she led and rated 1:53.7 while winning by 11.9m. Her aggregate winning margin so far is 34m and I fancy she will add to that here. SPOOKY MOTH (1) is one of three Emma Stewart runners and two on debut here. She is a half-sister to the Group 1 winner Major Moth ($399,349) and is perhaps the most fancied of the team based off some nice enough trials and the good barrier one draw. Stablemate FARADY (6) galloped early and could only manage fifth in the Tatlow Stakes on October 31, a race which was won impressively by OZZIE TART (3), who ducked and weaved from three back the fence to score. The other on debut is NUDOORA (5), who is the least fancied of Stewart’s runners in early markets.

BACK: TWIGSTAR (2) – 5 units (win)
