Looks a keen contest with Burning Sensation and Cayman Island pressing for the lead with Highland Lad and Lull Us Away close at hand. CAYMAN ISLAND (3) looks the one in a very shallow maiden. Led and gave a kick but conceded late over 1500m at Albury last start. Only needs to hold that performance level to be opening his account. HIGHLAND LAD (1) is back to a more suitable trip after failing to run out 2100m at Orange last time. Has placed over this distance and his best figures make him very competitive. LULL US AWAY (8) went from 1100m to 1500m at Albury last start and was only beaten 2.2 lengths in a respectable effort. Good each-way hope here if she can reproduce that form. BLACK FROST (2) was easily accounted for on debut at Wodonga last time. Can improve over a bit more ground today. TALLINGAS PETEY (4) lines up for just the third time and can feature on a seven-day turnaround. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cayman Island to win.
