Expecting the speedy Signor Tortoni to be prominent but one or more of the first starters should add to the early pressure. SIGNOR TORTONI (2) third-up tonight and no excuses from the low gate with McEvoy engaged. Came out fast and nailed late over this track and trip when second on January 17. Can control the race early and prove hard to run down. KENDALIA (1) excellent debut when returning good figures late after coming from near last on the turn with a sound fifth over 1150m at Randwick Kensington. Extra trip in his favour from the draw and looks one of the main contenders. THE ENCHANTER (3) is set to peak fourth-up after finishing third in the same race as Signor Tortoni at the latest. Latham keeps the ride and is expected to go forward again with the visors added. Each way. SCALABLE (9) kept safe in betting on debut and had genuine excuses when racing wide without cover to finish fifth over this track and trip. Improvement likely with that run under her belt. SUGGESTED PLAY: Signor Tortoni to win.
