Tricky one to map with a large contingent of first starters but over this trip there is certain to be plenty of early pressure. PLAZA (3) has been close up in two recent trials and finds a soft debut draw. Profiles as good shopping fresh for a strong yard. SKIP A BEAT (1) showed potential in three city-grade runs in his debut campaign. Resumes over a short course trip after two solid trials. Lots to like. SHOW PONY (4) is trained on track and made a steady debut over the same trip. Trialled smartly on a bog track prior to that so looks suited here. CASHAWAY GOLD (6) was outclassed on debut and finds an easier assignment resuming. With a quiet draw can improve sharply. SUGGESTED PLAY: Plaza win.
