Good early pressure anticipated with a large number of unraced runners. OPTIONS (5) debuts (switched from James Cummings) and has looked the goods at the jumpouts. Has the inside barrier, and Coffey's booking suggests the McEvoys mean business. Has the blinkers on and will get every chance. BAMA SLAMA (2) debuted for the Hayes yard well-supported, but needed it. Has an awkward barrier, but quick improvement is likely. VICTORIOUS SPIRIT (7) is a stablemate of the top selection and has impressed at the jumpouts. The gate is awkward, but he looks all set to race well. BALLISTIC ROMEO (1) debuts with the blinkers on and won a recent Caulfield. Maps well, and the race-day betting moves will tell plenty. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Options.
