No surprise if the debutants played a key role in the tempo of the race with little speed on paper. ZORKO (8) did more than enough in what was a fairly strong trial at Scone to say he can produce a big run on debut. Has drawn out but expect he'll go forward and if he finds a good spot should be right in the finish. SINGLE SHY (6) held her ground on debut in an 800m scamper so stepping up in trip will be in her favour. Gets a good run and worth keeping in mind with improvement on the run likely. MAYBE NOW (2) had some mixed form last preparation but recent trial was handy and not a lot of depth here. WESTERN WARRIOR (1) and FIN'S FINALE (5) have trialled okay leading into this and could show up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zorko to win.
