Plenty of first starters engaged which makes it tricky to map, but we can assume a solid tempo. BLUE WILLOW (4) finds an ideal jump-off race after some handy trials of late. Senior rider goes on and expect her to transition to race day smoothly. TROUNCE (10) looks to have found her range now and gets a few gear changes for her raceday debut. In good hands so respect any market push her way. ROSE OF DUBAI (7) draws poorly on debut but she has shown early potential at the trials. Expecting a bold showing first time at the races. SHA NA NA (8) wasn’t competitive in a two-start debut campaign but two recent trials have been sharper. Could improve without surprising. SUPER ACHIEVER (9) was close-up in her most recent trial and should be well educated. Honest debut expected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Blue Willow win.
