Many of these step out for the first time so a frantic pace is likely early on over this sharp journey. RETURN OF THE MACH (9) was impressive late in the trial most recently with Fiore in the saddle and that trial form may have been franked by now. The 1200m first-up looks ideal and while she may end up back in the run, she can storm over the top and make a winning start to her career. MASTERLY (2) bumped into some wet tracks in his debut campaign and his most recent trial showed what he's capable of. Steve Parnham rides now and he should be close to the speed from a good barrier. Can land the knockout blow. SISTER TALK (10) was most impressive at the trials recently in her only run for this campaign, running away to win by 1.6L. She can be on the speed from the barrier and she can put her best foot forward on debut. SO MANY STORIES (11) gets CJP in the saddle for her debut which is a positive sign. Can play a major role. MOMENT IN THE SUN (1) is better than he showed first-up and he can improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Return Of The Mach makes plenty of appeal on debut.
