From the wide draw Alpine Dame can cross and set up a solid tempo.
ARTILLERY FIRE (4) showed plenty of ability in her last prep and was only caught late on her last couple of starts after setting the pace. She has won the latest of her 2 tune-up trials, and only needs some luck from a wide gate to be the one to beat here. HALEN (16) has been placed in 4 of his 8 starts on this course and is resuming from a spell that would have done him the world of good. Each way claims. WHATS NEW PUSSYCAT (11) is the stablemate of the top pick, who is resuming from a spell with 3 trials under his belt. Troy Baker picks up the ride, which is a strong lead, and a bold run is expected. ZULU FIELDS (12) has hit her straps lately and has been runner-up in her last 3 starts on the bounce. She is overdue to break through. ALPINE DAME (3) strips fitter second up, and benefits from a 1.5kg claim. Include in all combinations in a wide-open maiden contest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Halen each way value to start the day.
