Many of these step out for the first time so a genuine tempo is expected. BUTTON UP (2) Lucky Vega gelding from Loose Buttons on debut for the Matt Smith stable. Trialled well on rain-affected tracks and can figure prominently. LONG LIVE (4) Kingman gelding from Gena on debut for the Maher yard. Two trials had merit and finds a winnable contest. GIANLUCA (3) first starter by Supido out of Genoveffa from the Kerry Parker stable. Trained locally and ran second in Kembla Grange trial over 800m. Leading prospect. ALABAMA SHOWDOWN (1) covered ground from the wide gate on debut with a plugging fourth over this track and trip. Further improvement anticipated and stays in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Button Up and Gianluca can fight it out.
