Track: GOOD4   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit.  

Many of these step out for the first time so a genuine tempo is expected. Wide open two-year-old-race. DEMARCATE (1) looks as likely as any off a strong debut win at Ballarat, winning in solid time off a good run. Open to plenty of improvement and the wide draw won't be an issue over this circuit. HELLO ROMEO (2) resumes. He was last seen running midfield in the Karaka Millions which is a good race in New Zealand. His form in Australia was rock solid and he's won a trial leading in. Must respect. OCEANSPRINT (3) won well on debut at Ballarat, leading throughout to score decisively. Should take catching again. DERIVATIVE (8) resumes having been hard in the market in a good race on debut at Eagle Farm, pulling up with post-race issues. Wary. HOT WHISKERS (9) beat a small field on debut at Mornington before a spell and wouldn't surprise at big odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Demarcate & Hello Romeo.
