|---|---|---|---|---|

Tricky one to map with a number of first starters but over this trip there is good speed anticipated. LOOSE 'N' VEGAS (4) came close to breaking her maiden last campaign as a juvenile, wrapping it up with a minor placing over 1000m in a decent field at Riccarton before having a well-earned three-and-a-half-month break. She will be stronger this season and can take this out fresh up. ETERNAL LIGHT (3) is a promising maiden who finished sixth in her last outing over 1200m in the Listed Canterbury Belle Stakes at Riccarton after missing the kick. She cops a tough gate, but can figure in the top 3 at this level. OCEAN BAY (14) will make her debut, and is a filly by Vanbrugh out of Ysabella Brave, and she was close up in a recent Ashburton trial. She is nicely placed after a 2kg claim and is sure to have plenty of market support. RISK MITIGATION (5) improved last start, finishing fourth and beaten by 2 lengths over 1200m at this track. A firmer surface would do her no harm, and she should not be in this grade for long. TEST DRIVE (9) has trialled twice, and won't be far away. Include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ocean Bay at some each-way value.
