Dunquin should spear straight to the front of the small field. DUNQUIN (1) has his hoof on the till at start three from the better gate. Showed good early speed from the outside barrier with a fighting on-pace fourth over 1350m at Wyong in a Super Maiden. Back in class and expected to go close. MONUMENTAL (3) So You Think gelding from a Fastnet Rock mare on debut for the Messara & Gavranich stable. Has shown ability in both his trials and will appreciate the 1400m on debut. Look for him to close well. COURSE OF ACTION (2) Exceedance gelding from the good producing mare Sacred Choice on debut for the Cavanough yard. Wasn't pushed out in the two trials and must be kept safe from the good barrier. SPEEDY PETE (4) came out fast and the early told late with a tiring fifth over 1400m at Armidale. On the quick back-up and gets a better set-up for this. Value player. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dunquin can get off the mark at start three.
