Expecting Orphan Ellie to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. MISS FLEETWOOD (9) resumes from a lengthy break. Disappointed on debut when ninth over 1000m at Randwick last January. Fitted with two sound trials and look for a forward showing. LADY TALEA (8) progressed quickly at her second run back when gripping on late to run second over 900m at this track. Will get through the conditions and figure prominently. VIA FLAMINIA (10) Tivaci filly from Hurry on debut for the Kris Lees stable. Expected to make a positive debut on her home track with the two recent trials. Maps well. HO ALOHA (7) returns from a decent spell. Showed good early speed on debut before fading to run seventh over 1000m at Randwick Kensington last March. Has the two solid trials under her belt and must be kept safe. WOODROW (5) Exceed And Excel colt from Miss Wilson on debut for the Kris Lees yard. Bred to be handy and his latest trial placing had merit. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Fleetwood in a fairly open contest.
