Verdict
A weak maiden that can go to Speed Dial Harry if he continues to build on the form he has shown to date. The General Monash colt may have the most to fear from Nutty Times as she gets lumps of weight from her stablemate, Kissing A Fool, and looks to be the yard's first string on jockey bookings anyway. Joshar has form that ties in with the last named horse and has improvement to find, while Shish is also not hard to overlook after her modest effort from her debut earlier in the week. Therefore, it will be a minor shock if Speed Dial Harry is not good enough to rid himself of the maiden tag in this company and he gets a confident vote to expand upon trainer, Karl Burke's 17% strike-rate from his runners this season.
