Michael Felgate is on location at Caulfield Heath for a special edition of The Verdict, catching up with leading trainers Grahame Begg, Tom Dabernig, Sam Freedman and Danny O’Brien as their spring teams step out at the jumpouts.

Dabernig provides a major update on exciting sprinter Oliveanotherday, revealing there has already been interest from Everest slot-holders and saying the lightly raced galloper could potentially develop into a top-class sprinter.

Begg maps out the deliberately measured Melbourne Cup campaign for already-qualified Zakouma and identifies Profligate as an emerging filly capable of developing into a Thousand Guineas contender.

Freedman discusses Point Barrow, the return of Tom Kitten and the progress of impressive youngster American Eagle, while O’Brien reveals the Group 1 path being planned for Sass Appeal through the Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes.

Plus, the team assesses the other major spring horses to appear at the Caulfield Heath jumpouts and looks ahead to the 150th running of the Caulfield Cup.
