Tricky one to map with a number of first starters but over this trip there is good speed anticipated. NULLARBOR JANE (9) failed in a group two race on debut but looks set for a better result resuming at provincial level. Drawn low and stable would be all smiles about recent trials. LUSKINTYRE (8) draws wide on debut but recent trials have been educated efforts. Expecting an honest display. ISHIKARI (2) has shown early talent in two starts to date and stopped the clock in sharp time in a recent trial win. Bold on-pace showing expected. THE WARRIOR (1) has been sharp as a tack in his three most recent trials and blinkers applied for debut. On home track with a senior rider must respect. INFANT WARRIOR (5) has been close up in recent trials and gets an ideal debut draw. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Nullarbor Jane to win.
