Many of these step out for the first time so a good pace is likely. It's tricky and the betting will be instructive with the debutants particularly. BLIND DESIRE (7) is a leader and she presents off narrow defeats from the Gold Coast and at this track last time. Has the race fitness and experience and can go one better. RISING RUBY (16) is an improver from the premier barn (Gollan). Resumed with a solid effort at Doomben and maps for the run of the race. Has been kept on the fresh side and Allen replaces the 2kg apprentice. ZELEZNY (4) resumes in good order on the poly and has city form on the turf that would see him right in it. Has an awkward barrier but he'll be fitter and the 3kg claim brings him right into it. PROMINENT LAD (6) did about what was expected first-up and Callow is aboard today and is building a tidy record with the Vandyke stable. Jumps from an inside gate and is sure to have come on. USE YOUR ILLUSION (3) is another Gollan-trained debutant that deserves consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: Blind Desire with the race form/fitness.
