Many of these step out for the first time so a frantic pace is likely early on over this sharp journey. AYE AYE CAPTAIN (3) led and tried hard but was edged out on the line on debut last start over 1100m at Gosford. Boots forward from the wide gate to potentially take up the running again. Sure to take a lot from that last run and will be tough to beat. TRAFALGAR SQUARE (2) grabbed third in a photo over Aye Aye Captain at Gosford two back then was outclassed behind Espionage in the Kindergarten on day one of the Championships. Big chance back in this company with the aid of the inside gate. CANARA (1) missed the kick before making up many lengths to finish fourth when fresh from a spell over 1300m at Warwick Farm recently. Needs luck from the draw but should be thereabouts. CELTIC SIN (4) is a first starter by Yes Yes Yes from the O'Shea stable. Betting watch advised. HEAVENLY KISS (5) is a full sister to dual Group 3 placegetter Fortunate Kiss on debut for the Quinton stable. Sure to have ability. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Aye Aye Captain.
