Should be a strong tempo with good speed engaged. Small but intriguing field to kick things off. LEOPARD SHARK (5) has the most experience with two starts to her name. She debuted with a most encouraging performance, sticking on for third behind leading 2yo Guest House. She was fresh into the Blue Diamond Preview and got back from a wide gate which didn't suit. Like her sitting on speed out to 1200m now. STOMPING GROUND (4) is a gelding by Astern on debut for the Browne yard. He got to the line strongly in a recent trial and the booking of Damian Lane is a good lead. Expect he measures up. SILENT GRIT (3) debuted in the Blue Diamond Preview for the boys and was just fair but not beaten far in a messy dash home. 1200m should suit much better. LIFT NET (2) is a colt by Brazen Beau who debuts for the McEvoy yard. Watch the betting with him and CAPTAIN BLOOD (1) who has trialled fairly for the O'Brien yard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leopard Shark to win.
