Anticipating good pressure with many of these at the races for the first time.
The three that have raced were all beaten by huge margins on debut so it looks a race for the first starters. NATION (2) is a Pierata colt from the Sears stable. Trialled twice leading into this and filled a placing both times. Looks to have enough ability to take care of these. WINGMASTER (3) comes here off a close fourth in a trial at the Gold Coast on 27 January. Draws a nice gate which always helps. Stuart Kendrick's gelding DOUBTWILLY (1) trialled here on Tuesday and finished third. Looks wound up for a bright start to his career. PRETTY SMASHING (4) is a Brave Smash filly who has trialled twice, a placing at Beaudesert on 12 January the pick of them. Betting the key indicator. CANYA ZIPIT (5) heads a mediocre trio of runners who have been to the races before. SUGGESTED PLAY: Nation to win the opener.
