Anticipating a stack of early pressure over the sprint course with many of these facing the starter for the first time. YORGA PRIDE (11) was an impressive winner at the trials recently when sitting on the pace throughout. She looks to get that in her favour again today with Pike sticking from the trial a big tick. She looks to have her share of ability and can make a winning debut. HEAVY METAL (2) bounced back last start with an eye-catching run from the back, beaten 0.9L at Belmont. Out to this trip appears ideal, though the wide draw is a niggle. She may be back in the run, but is sure to be closing off strongly. CATCH CARTER (1) just missed first-up when running a new peak, beaten 0.8L at Belmont over 1000m. His previous peak rating came under similar conditions, second-up and out to this distance. Drawn ideally and looks a key player. SPIRIT GUIDE (8) showed enough over this track and trip on debut and has to be included. RALLY THE TROOPS (6) is better than what he showed on debut. His trials either side of that have been good and he's worth plenty of thought. SUGGESTED PLAY: Yorga Pride can score on debut.
