Anticipating good pressure with many of these lining up for the first time. LUSKINTYRE (3) was stylish on debut over a shorter trip. Needs luck in running from a poor draw but looks an early bloomer. Should measure up. HERMIONE PRANCER (7) has looked sharper in her two most recent trials and senior rider booking says she's fair dinkum on debut. Market watch a must. ZO FRILLING (6) has been holding her form over an honest winter campaign but probably spots them a start from a drift back draw. One for each way investors. VIA FLAMINIA (8) daughter of Tivaci from Hurry on debut and was a NZD $ 70,000 (NZB 2024 Karaka - Book 1) yearling. Was out of the placings at her most recent trial. Trained on the course so watch the market. SUGGESTED PLAY: Luskintyre on top.
