Anticipating good pressure with many of these at the races for the first time. DR HOOK (1) is a talented colt who finished a narrow fifth two-back in the VRC Sires' Produce. Never travelled in the soft (7) going with an ordinary twelfth over 1400m at Randwick in the ATC Sires' Produce. Since fitted with a trial win over 1000m here. Ready to get off the mark. PRIORY PARK (3) showed good early speed from the sticky draw on debut with a handy fourth over 1100m at Hawkesbury. Fitter now and well placed in this company. PORTICO (2) improving with racing after he gripped on late to secure third over 1000m at Hawkesbury. Comes back a level again and sure to be thereabouts. WARSHADE (8) Bivouac colt from Signora Nera on debut for the Michael Freedman yard. Chased hard in his recent trial when second over 1045m at Randwick. Keep safe. The chances don't end there. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dr Hook gets every chance in this company.
