      In depth

      Verdict

      SO MACHO was beaten less than a length over course and distance on his debut and may prove good enough with normal progress. He’s preferred to Wondering Spirit and the more exposed pair Hop Maddocks and Barney Bullet but James Tate runs a couple of newcomers. Sunshine Coast sports his owner's first colours ahead of More Salutes while the 110,000gns purchase Reconcile has already been gelded but hails from an in-form yard.
