Expecting Apache Deel to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. NOCTUA (2) went close here following a switch from a top Sydney barn, before delivering her Maiden at the track. She has a 1.5kg claim and will jump and run from an insider gate. Rates to take the next step. KENYAN CHARM (3) has switched to the Nisbet stable and has had a 40-day freshen. Has a low barrier and the blinkers first-time applied. Loy is a key jockey engagement, and back in grade, sharp improvement is likely. FREDDY'S SHOCK (8) would be in the finish if she found her best form. McDougall replaces the apprentice, and we may see more. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Noctua.
