Anticipating a good amount of early pressure with many of these two-year-olds facing the starter for the first time.
The well-related NAVY PILOT (1) (full to 2xG2 winner Tiz Invincible) has been plying his trade in much harder NSW contests to start the career and will appreciate the drop back in grade here. Gets the services of Maloney in the irons and must be respected from the Maher yard. Rates the testing material. TEN PINS (5) couldn't have been more impressive saluting at Townsville when facing the starter for the first time and has earned his shot in town now. Winning hoop Stanley sticks in the saddle and looms as the main danger. RED CODE (2) was well found on debut and didn't let supporters down with a solid victory at the Gold Coast. Can make it back-to-back wins to start the career. ON POINT PIXIE (6) has hit the frame in both starts to date and looks to be nearing a victory. In the mix. FREDDIE BASSETT (3) is at the races for the first time but has shown ability at the trials and a watch on betting is advised. SUGGESTED PLAY: Navy Pilot to shed the maiden tag.
