Verdict
Buenaventura didn't really shine in her first campaign and makes her debut on the surface, though the longer trip could bring about some improvement. Stable companion OBLIVIATE made a very promising return to action over 7f here on her handicap debut on Wednesday and, with that under her belt, can get off the mark. Cryptos Dream landed a Bellewstown nursery and ended the season with a very good second on this track though is well exposed. The front-running Decorated Guest has been getting caught around the furlong mark over shorter while Beescatty was too green to do herself justice in her first campaign and the champion has been booked.
