Interesting 2YO event with a number of promising types set to clash over the 1100m journey. Speed anticipated from Expressella, Cool Intrigue, Driftwood Girl and Golden Trigger. The speed should come from wide out through Driftwood Girl and Riasc while Cool Intrigue probably lands on the pace too. YOU AM I showed promise at his only start and fitter for a recent trial win he looks well placed to go close. Drawn nicely and should feature. DRIFTWOOD GIRL is the logical one to beat after a solid win at her second start. She will go forward and can take running down. RIASC was far from disgraced first-up and while drawn the outside will also push on and no reason he can't be hard to beat. Golden Trigger has the blinkers on and can't be left out while big watch on Expressella on debut off a nice trial win. SUGGESTED PLAY: Happy to side with the debutant Expressella.
