Tricky one to map with a number of first starters but over this trip there is good speed anticipated. Tough way to start the day with more than half of the field on debut. Siding with the race experience and have MORE THAN HOPE (2) on top. He was OK in an early season 2YO race at metropolitan grade when he showed speed to lead. He's changed stables since and was ridden with a sit in a recent trial. Expect he will be better in his second racing campaign and he looks to have a decent chance here. ANOTHER BRIDE (5) ran well against the older horses in maiden grade last time and looks well placed coming back to a 2YO RACE. She's drawn to get all the favours. PEQUENA GOLD (9) was well beaten at her only start but the winner went on to win a G3. She's looked sharp enough in recent jumpouts and can run a place fresh, albeit she will be better over a tad further. Including NEVERENDS (8) and MISS TORMENTA (7) in wider plays. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing More Than Hope each-way.
