Many of these juveniles step out for the first time so a strong pace is anticipated. SALUTED (1) clearly on top. She won her first two impressively before a strong effort here behind Miss Ole in a high-rating affair. She only went down by 0.8 lengths there and comes here fresh with natural improvement to come. Drawn wide but that shouldn't matter from this start and she rates very highly. IDLEONBY (2) is coming off a good maiden win at Pakenham Synthetic, backing up a strong performance behind subsequent Saturday winner Signature Scent on debut. She looks a good chance at big odds. SHINJINA (11) is a filly by top sire Snitzel who debuts for the Moody & Coleman yard. She's won a jump out and Blake Shinn booked is as good a lead as any. TIZ WORTHY (3) resumes. Her debut was good in a strong race and she went on with it thereafter. Respecting. INSPIRATIONAL LASS (8) can figure first time out for the Price & Kent Jnr yard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Saluted to win.
