Tricky one to map with a number of debutants but over this trip there is good speed anticipated. Another one for the babies. HARRY'S MODE (2) has race experience over a lot of these and looked handy placing at Ipswich when first-up from the spell. Will have come on with that run now under the belt and only needs some luck navigating from the sticky draw to be playing a major role in the outcome. PRESTIGE AUSTRIA (10) was well in the betting on debut and where there's smoke there's fire. Gets in well at the weights with the claim and should be right there when the whips are cracking. MY UTOPIA (9) has looked good in both trials to date and won't need to be a superstar to be competitive against this lot. Worth watching for a betting push. JET TWO MARS (3) draws favourably in gate two and gets the services of Guthmann-Chester in the saddle. Rates among the leading hopes. TOMMY TIE (4) next in line from the inside alley. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Harry's Mode.
