No surprise if the debutants played a key role in the tempo of the race with little speed on paper. LA REINA VEGA (8) looks well placed off a good debut at Seymour. She was well supported there and only missed a long neck in second after covering ground. Up to 1400m with that run under the belt and drawn ideally, she can go one better. LADY PUISSANCE (9) made nice improvement second up at Seymour when beaten a head over this trip. She's coming along nicely and will be hard to hold out late. THE REGENT (5) is a So You Think gelding on debut for the Hayes yard. He looked very handy coming away to win a recent jumpout and can win first time of asking. MS PORT MELBOURNE (10) debuted in a strong race at Caulfield and wasn't disgraced in sixth. She can figure with upside. SOULSEASE RIVER (4) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: La Reina Vega to win.
