Anticipating a good amount of early pressure with many of these babies facing the starter for the first time. Tricky. CARLANDO (1) is a gelding by Dubious out of Love Delight on debut. Impressive recent trial winner. Looks set for a bright start to his career. SIXTY NINE GRANGE (7) debuts for the in-form Button yard. She's likely to be sharper than the trial finishes suggest. Wiggins' booking suggests she's pleasing. OCTOPOLIS (5) debuts for Button and found a place in a Mackay trial. Has the blinkers on and is likely to race well. SMART 'N' LOUD (3) debuts and placed in a recent trial here. He can show some early form. The raced pair would have to improve on what we've seen thus far. They both draw to advantage. SUGGESTED PLAY: Carlando appeals on what we've seen.
