Not a big field but many line-up for the first time so the pace should be genuine. Tough race with plenty of chances. THE WAY AHEAD (5) Headwater filly out of a Snitzel filly on debut for the Matt Smith stable. Won her latest trial by a big space over 789m at Warwick Farm. Goes close from the draw. OAKFIELD MARS (3) filly by Smart Missile from the Damien Lane yard on debut. Stable are having a good run and she's shown a ton of ability in her trials. Goes close. The chances don't end there. SIZZLING BOY (11) resumes with a handy fresh record. Gets in light with the claim and returns without a trial. Adept in all conditions. BEAU BANDIT (1) three-year-old- gelding by Brazen Beau on debut for the Tanya Randell yard. Won a tough Beaumont (Newcastle) trial on March 5. Worth plenty of thought on his home track from the low gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Way Ahead to win.
