Tricky one to map with a number of debutants but over this trip there is good speed anticipated. BETTA THAN PRESLEY (2) has filled a minor placing at all six runs this prep, the latest an eye-catching third over 1100m here. Won't mind the extra 100m and is sure to run his usual honest race. NINJASK (7) made late inroads to get up for second over 1100m here recently. Lightly raced three-year-old who might benefit from the addition of blinkers for the first time. LUCKY ARTIE (11) led but was swamped late as favourite over 1350m at Warwick last start. Only placing came here at the start of the prep. Must be respected. Debutant BEST EAGLE (1) won a trial here recently and from the inside gate is a genuine contender. SUGGESTED PLAY: Betta Than Presley on top in a competitive maiden.
