No surprise if the debutants played a key role in the tempo of the race with little speed on paper. LIGHT MOVES (5) jumped out well but had no luck here over 1200m on debut. He was expected to feature and the blinkers go straight on. Ben Melham sticks aboard and with average luck he can fight out the finish. BALLISTIC ROMEO (4) resumes and his debut effort was solid enough. Has had three sharp Mornington jumpouts and race rider Jamie Melham was in the saddle the latest. Everything points to a bold return. TALKIN' STERN (9) finished 3.5 lengths back in fourth on debut over 1200m at this track last start. Out in trip and look for a big run. POWER PLAYED (8) didn't do much on debut but with the benefit of race experience now on board can feature. SUGGESTED PLAY: Light Moves to win.
