Anticipating good pressure with many of these facing the starter for the first time. IN CIRCLES (7) raced near the pace then tried hard but found one marginally better on debut last start over 1000m at Hawkesbury. Suited by the extra 200m and in a race that lacks depth she looks ready to open her account. KNOWING LOOK (8) has not appeared since her debut last June when midfield at Warwick Farm over 1100m. Trialled twice to prepare for this return. Might be a different horse this time around with blinkers on for the first time. BORJNORD (1) is a Tassort gelding on debut for Richard and Will Freedman. Has shown enough at the trials to suggest he is ready to perform well. OURAGAN (10) was beaten for early pace then picked up late but was never in the hunt on debut nine days ago over 1200m at a Rosehill midweek meeting. Won't find this as tough so watch for a better run. ODIN'S EYE (4) is a first starter by Exceedance from a Testa Rossa mare who has produced five winners from six foals. Trialling okay and should be competitive. SUGGESTED PLAY: In Circles to win.
