Good early pressure anticipated with a large number of first starters. Tough maiden with a few of these dropping back significantly in grade. OLATUNDE (7) is a three start maid and all three have been in richer company, the latest the Group 1 Blue Diamond. Fitter for two jump-outs and back to this level expected to go close. BLACKLIP (2) is another dropping back from stakes company. Has started on once at Listed level at Flemington before another break. Returns a gelding and on the back of three hit-outs. Expected to measure up. ANGELOS (9) is a first-starter by All Too Hard out of Alma's Angel. Showing ability leading into this, placing in the most recent jump-out here at home. Beautifully drawn and can make an immediate impact. FAST 'N' INZAINE (10) is a filly by Hello Youmzain out of Deepdene who makes debut. Well educated with four hit-outs leading into this, the latest when placing in a Cranbourne Synthetic jump-out. Has a solid pedigree so don't dismiss. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Olatunde fresh.
