Tricky one to map with a number of debutants but over this trip there is good speed anticipated. BEAUTY EIGHT (1) raced on the pace and tried hard but found one better when resuming over 1050m on the Gold Coast poly a month ago. Lightly raced four-year-old with a stack of improvement to come. Clearly the pick of the raced runners. Donna Grisedale's first starter CASINO COLLECTION (8) won a recent Port Macquarie trial by panels. Five of her six siblings to race are winners and she will soon add to that tally. MONACO FLYER (4) is a debutant from the John Shelton yard who impressively won a Grafton trial on 13 April. Looks ready to make an immediate impact. SIVO (5) did nothing first-up over this trip at Port Macquarie but is capable of a lot better. First starter TYCOON MAX (3) is one to monitor for market support. SUGGESTED PLAY: Beauty Eight to win but respect any support for the unraced runners.
