Plenty of pace from Hellabella and Isle Of Wight, with the added uncertainty of the several first starters engaged. HELLABELLA (5) resumes and has been in the placings at three of her four starts. Readied for this with two trial wins at Randwick, and Tim Clark is engaged. She will jump and run out of the inside barrier and sets a decent standard for the newcomers. Stablemate LOREAL BELLE (6) has been well prepared for her debut. Comes off a Randwick trial win and Rachel King sticks from that. Draws to advantage and a bold effort is on the cards. WRITTEN DOLL (4) debuts and Zac Lloyd is a key jockey booking. Has been fitted with two Warwick Farm trial wins and will be right in it if he brings that form to race day. MALUKU (7) debuts and has also trialled well at Warwick Farm. Keep onside.
CANAL (2) is ex-James Cummings and has shown enough. The niggle is the 370 days off the scene, but he has three trials under his belt, and Tommy Berry is engaged. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hellabella appeals most.
