GONNA CATCH YOU and TASKMASTER were well backed on debut but didn't live up to expectations. Both were subsequently gelded and are open to improvement on their reappearances. WINCHESTER has improved in 2 starts with headgear fitted and will likely play a leading role with a repeat of either performance. KORCULA improved stepping up to 1200m and should make her presence felt with this extended trip likely to unlock further progress. ROYALE JACKET has earning potential too.
