Leiladane, Tears He Cried and Fine Behind look the speed. Big field and a hot pace here as Tears He Cried, The Eulo Queen and Fine Behind come across from out wide while Leiladane could push up inside them or box seat. Tough race with plenty of chances and some of these will need luck. LEILADANE has drawn well and looks hard to beat. Could take the sit here in the box seat and should go close. FINE BEHIND is rarely far away and rates highly. Has the wide gate to overcome though and probably has to stride forward. SELECTIVE has been trialling well in town and from a good draw is expected to run well. DELAGO EXPRESS is also a first starter who has been trialling way and worth keeping safe. OUR LADY VIOLET rated well on best form and can run a big race fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Very keen on Leiladane from what we've seen. Wary Selective and monitor the market closely.
