Tricky one to map with a number of debutants but over this trip there is good speed anticipated. ACE QUEEN SUITED (6) was too good here in Maiden company last start when scoring by 0.8L as the race favourite. She'll need some luck from the barrier, but she rates highly on the back of her latest effort and showed first-up that she can sit off the speed and launch late. Can repeat the dose. EDDIETEMPLE (1) trialled well coming into his debut and may have found them a bit quick over the 1000m journey. Out to 1200m now is a big tick. Expecting him to have come on from the fresh effort and while he'll be back in the run, he can storm home late in the race. KEN (3) flew home on debut to finish 0.9L off Ace Queen. Suited and draws slightly better today. May be able to take closer order and if he can, it'll go a long way to seeing him get the job done. MERIVALE LOUVAIN (7) was very impressive on debut at Bunbury and can't be left out coming to Saturday grade. GOLD CHANTILLY (12) has shown enough at the trials to suggest he can run a big race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ace Queen Suited can go back-to-back.
