Anticipating good pressure with many of these at the races for the first time. Tough race with almost half the field on debut. BLUE ISLES (4) brings the best of the race form, having run well over this track and distance back in April. She's drawn to give Teagan Voorham options but expect her to settle just behind the speed. She can win this. LIGHT THE NIGHT (3) is another with race experience and can improve sharply here off what he showed on debut. I AM OLE (1) is by a gun young sire and makes his debut for the state's leading 2YO stable. He's trialled well and he doesn't need to be a star to win this on debut. It's worth keeping an eye on any market support for the other debutants VIOLET LOVEBUG (6) and ULLRICH (2). SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Blue Isles to win.
