Plenty of first starters engaged which muddies the map a little. It is fair to assume a genuine tempo. Tricky race with a lot of these on debut in the testing conditions. THE GREY (1) showed good early toe on debut when holding on well to finish second over 1100m at Wyong on June 13. Wadick rides again with the claim and can go one better here. CUBAN RAIN (7) came from last on the turn at first outing when a fast finishing fourth over 1000m here on June 20. Further improved and expected to race closer from the low draw. Has solid top-three prospects. VALABING (11) lightly raced filly from the David Payne yard with a ton of upside. Resumes here after tiring late when eighth in the G3 Magic Night Stakes over 1200m at Rosehill on March 2. Fitted with one quiet trial and look for her charging late. ART'S ALIVE (5) resumes for third prep after finishing a gritty fourth in the Black Opal Preview over 1000m at Canberra on February 23. Fitted with two trials and expected to go close. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 1,7,11,5.
