Plenty of first starters engaged which makes it tricky to map, but we can assume a solid tempo. RESERVED (1) he resumes in this for a new yard. Placed at debut on the Cambridge Synthetic so the footing suits. Drawn wide in this but can still win. CELTIC BLING (7) started at $2.70 last time and ran below expectations, finishing 12th over 1200m. Has the talent to produce a better result. JETSTREAM (2) was a good run here at last start. Trifecta and first four chance. MISS STARLIGHT (11) is a two-year-old filly making debut by Sweynesse out of Firelight. Has had three trials for a win and two seconds (one came here). Dam has left five winning foals with Zac Ace (6 wins) the most prolific. Wide gate. LOOSE 'N' VEGAS (12) she is a multiple class dropper in this line-up. Looks a sly one. SUGGESTED PLAY: Reserved and Celtic Bling are the best two win wagers.
