The race lacks early speed so doubt they will go too hard. Just the four post-scratchings and even with a full field it would've been hard to go past NINJA (3) who was heavily supported to win a much stronger maiden on debut at Randwick Kensington, finishing a close-up third on that occasion. He'd trialled very well leading into that and he won't even need to improve to win this, hence the very short quote this morning. MENSHEVIK (6) was solid on resumption at Canterbury, getting through the heavy ground fairly well there. Should be fitter now and draws well. Looks the danger. FAST 'N' FANCY (9) didn't do much on debut at big odds but just edges LUCKY MONKEY (10) for that third position. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ninja clearly on top.
