Just a modest tempo anticipated. STORM CAPITAL (2) has hit the frame in both starts since joining the new stable and strikes a very winnable contest here. Drawn to get a gun run in transit from gate three and looks the one they all have to run down. ARANCIA (5) is facing the starter for the first time but has shown ability at the trials and won't need to be a superstar to be competitive against this lot. Keep very safe. KENNY THE BAKER (1) has been heavily supported in all six career outings to date and will be at peak fitness now. Capable of a better showing. Former NSW galloper TYRANNICAL (3) is having his first run for the new barn and any market confidence must be noted. YES MA (8) best of the rest from the inside marble. SUGGESTED PLAY: Storm Capital to shed the maiden tag.

Five-year-old gelding by Wanted out of Intimate Act purchased for AUD $600 (Inglis 2024 OCTOBER (Early) Online Sale).
