Good early pressure anticipated with a large number of first starters. PRESTIGE SNITZEL (8) looks the one to beat on exposed form. Two starts to date, both at Flemington, the debut effort in the G3 Ottawa Stakes very solid behind Military Tycoon. Tried hard again last time and that experience should take her a long way here. TORONADO QUEEN (9) was a maiden winner on debut at Geelong, starting $21 but winning well. The second horse won at the midweeks to strengthen that form. KALEO (4) is a colt by Churchill on debut for the Maher yard who has jumped out well and must be respected. DIAMOND GUST (3) is a colt by Toronado on debut for the Laurie yard who can figure. SUGGESTED PLAY: Prestige Snitzel to win.
