Tricky one to map with a number of debutants but over this trip there is good speed anticipated. It looks a good race for OYSTER LANE (6) who has been contesting some stronger maidens of late, a close up fourth at Ballarat when last seen having also finished fourth at Caulfield Heath prior. He maps for every hope on speed and can break through. BOGGY CREEK BOYS (1) turned in a solid run on debut last start, beaten a long neck into second at Warrnambool over 1400m. He'll be better for that and should take holding out. CELTIC LIGHT (10) ran a nice race on debut at Geelong when boxing on well for third. She showed good speed there and can look to push on from a wide gate here. She'll take catching with natural improvement. WYANDRA (8) presents third up and ready to win, solid in a small field last time at Cranbourne. BOULIA (2) is a gelding by Hanseatic on debut who can figure for the top yard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Oyster Lane to win.
