Anticipating a stack of early pressure with many of these babies facing the starter for the first time. THEIR FINEST HOUR (6) showed good early toe on debut when holding on well to finish second over 1110m at Lismore on June 18. Can go one better today from the good draw and the task is made easier by a couple of key scratchings. They mean FOO FIGHTER (3), a first starter by Heroic Valour on debut for the Matt Dunn, can have a great chance of getting off the mark at the first time of asking. Had two trials in readiness for this and market moves must be closely monitored. BRUTAL BELLE (7) is another newcomer with the right sort of profile. Improved nicely from trial to trial. SUGGESTED PLAY: Their Finest Hour to win.
