Danny Whizzbang, All Frosted and Hidden Princess to match motors but there will be plenty of pressure from other quarters. BECQUEREL (7) had shown some improvement in his last 2 starts in Victoria, the most recent of those just over 8 weeks ago. He drops back to 1200 metres but should have enough speed early on to hold his spot from a good gate and is capable of making a winning debut in his first run for a new stable. OLD MATE SMITHY (6) was held up at the wrong time last start and he will get a better trip from a superior gate this time. He will be peaking third up and he is expected to figure in the finish. ANOTHER VAL (1) never got into the act last time out after a couple of handy efforts before that. Stan Tsaikos steps into the irons this time and he could help get the best out of this gelding where it matters most. He is worth one more chance. DANNY WHIZZBANG (4) ran a much better race for second here a fortnight ago and should hold his form now. Each-way value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Becquerel to win.
