Many of these juveniles step out for the first time so a strong pace is anticipated. Trusting the race experience will shine through. SAPPHIRE ROSE (4) won from the front on debut at Wyong then suffered early interference before working home well for second over 1100m at the Kensington track last start. Big chance with the extra 100m to her advantage. Kris Lees' filly ISSY'S STAR (10) led all the way and demolished a maiden field at Coffs Harbour recently. Big step up in class today but respect the stable decision to come here. DIVO (2) led from the jump and although very green in the straight was too good at Wyong last time when facing the starter for only the second time. Should progress with those couple of races under the belt and can bring that good form to town. BESIDE THE OCEAN (16) is a half-sister to Slipper winner Farnan on debut for Chris Waller. Trialling well and looks ready to run a big race. SIGMA (9) is a colt by Snitzel from the top race mare Princess Coup on debut for Gai and Adrian. Shows ability and is sure to be wound up for this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sapphire Rose on top but keep tabs on the betting.
