Grandstraz and Golden Horizon can be prominent. A competitive 2YO contest kicks off proceedings. HARMONIC DANCER (1) makes his debut for the smart Phillip Stokes yard and looks a serious contender. The Pariah gelding has turned heads with dominant trial wins and gives every indication he’s ready to fire first-up. A bright start is expected. MOSTLY FOR SHOW (5) resumes for the in-form Jolly team after failing to figure on debut in January, despite attracting solid support. He’s trialled well since and looks to have come on sharply during the break. With Toeroek engaged and an ideal gate, he shapes as the main danger. MATAHGA (2), another debutant from the Stokes barn, has been doing his best work late in recent trials and profiles as a serious threat. GRANDSTRAZ (4) and GOLDEN HORIZON (3), both with race experience, could sneak into the minors with the right run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Harmonic Dancer looks very smart.

Phillip Stokes trained two-year-old gelding lining up for first race start. Most impressive recent trial winner. Good draw will assist chances. Looks very promising.
