Plenty of first starters engaged which makes for a tricky map. It is reasonable to assume a genuine tempo over this sprint course. GINGER SINNER (8) progressed nicely second-up when filling the frame here. Strips fitter and will appreciate the added trip. Looks ready to get off the mark. EMBELLISHER (7) is a Crackerjack King colt stepping out on debut for Andrew Gluyas. He's a half-sibling to Listed winner Wasabi Bob and other winners. Has worked well in his lead-up work and is drawn to get the gun run. Bright start anticipated. CRACKEN GOOD TIME (1) finds the maiden win elusive but was better last start when just missing the frame over this track and trip. Can make his presence felt. DUNREAL (6) is a Dundeel gelding on debut for the Seyers camp. Has worked well at the trials and deserves some thought, especially if there's late market support. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ginger Sinner gets the nod.
