Berry Lancer will stride forward but there are few first starters who can keep him busy. CHANCELLOR (4) met with solid support when resuming last start over 1200m at this track when fifth, beaten 5 lengths. Went down as a hot favourite here last week but fitter and worth another chance. SECRET SANTA (5) is a three-year-old colt on debut by Erik The Red from the former top race mare Secret Of Victoria. From a huge family of winners including three-time Grade 1 winner All Is Secret. Expected to have plenty of ability. BLUNDERBORE (3) is on debut for the Mike & Mathew De Kock stable. Three-year-old colt by Malmoos from Fee Fi Foe Fum. Can measure up. Betting crucial. STILO NOVO (7) is on debut. By Master Of My Fate and is out of the Tony Peter stable. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves.
