Tricky one to map with a large contingent of first starters but expect good early pressure. LA POTENZA (9) sent north for her debut when a solid on pace third over 1200m at the Sunshine Coast. Should improve sharply with that run and gets the gun run in this easier contest. JIMMY'S BROTHER (2) Zousain gelding from an Easy Rocking mare on debut for the Vandyke stable. Ran a respectable second in an 850m trial at the Sunshine Coast inner track. Finds a winnable race. STEFFI ELECTRICA (11) nice type who comes here with fitness on her side. Will find this more to her liking after running on late when fifth over 1000m at the Sunshine Coast. Each way type. I AM STEFFI (8) knocked up late from the wide gate on debut when a gritty fourth over 1015m at Coffs Harbour. Backs up quickly and gets a much better run. COME ON GLAMOUR (7) resumes after being outclassed when eighth in the LR Calaway Gal over 1200m at Eagle Farm last April. Capable of taking this out. SUGGESTED PLAY: La Potenza in a tough race.
