---|---|---|---|---|
Anticipating good pressure with many of these lining up for the first time. Weak maiden where EL EXPLOSIVO (1) won't get a better chance to break through. Has placed in seven of 16 starts and resumes on the back of two trials. Claim helps and apprentice Brooke King has placed four from six rides. Expected to feature again. GO ASK ALICE (9) is a first starter by All Too Hard out of I Spy. Related to a couple of stakes winners and presents fitter for two trials. Watch the market closely. SOUL SLIDES AWAY (10) is a first-starter by Impending out of Something Serious. Well educated with two trials. Can measure up without surprising. ANOTHER BRIDE (8) is back from a spell after finishing midfield on heavy ground at Balaklava. The debut run was midfield in a hot form race. Form is better than it looks and worth keeping safe. MY IVA (7) is a mare by Yes Yes Yes on debut. Was runner-up in a trial at Murray Bridge and looks primed to run well despite an awkward draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: El Explosivo should feature fresh.
