Verdict
LEX TALIONIS is 1-19 over fences so it’s a surprise that he’s still qualified to run in a novices handicap but he was only beaten a head at Perth 10 days ago and is just a pound higher here. Do Not Disturb has been absent since completing a double here in May but might be the danger ahead of Millarville, who has also had a break, and chasing debutant Aurora Thunder.
