No surprise if the newcomers played a key role in the tempo of the race with little speed on paper. Plenty of unknowns in the opener though HANSADIOS (8) has shown good ability at the trials coming in and looks the one to beat. Not far behind the handy Morning Thunder earlier this year who has since run well in Saturday company. Her latest trial was superb and she can make an immediate impact. ROCKIN' SERENITY (11) improved quickly from her first trial to her second thanks to the blinkers going on. Pike's booking is a good push for her chances and she's a half-sister to the handy Swift Talker. Appears the main danger. HEAVENLY PARADISE (9) has impressed at the trials this time in and McGruddy sticks from the trials. The wide draw is a query, though she's shown enough publicly to suggest she can fire a shot. LUNAR SPARK (5) has the race experience under her belt and won't be far away. HOT DEAL (1) is next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hansadios looks the one to beat in the opener.
