Anticipating good pressure with many of these facing the starter for the first time. Tricky and the betting moves will be instructive. Hayes-trained NEVERENOUGHLEGO (5) showed good ability his only two starts last preparation and resumed with a 2.2L defeat here over 1000m. He has plenty to give and will be fitter. The longer sprint suits as does this assignment. BALMORAL CASTLE (12) debuts for the premier stable (Maher) and the latest jumpout was smart. Maps well and Williams is a key jockey engagement. A bold run is on the cards. TEXTURE (10) debuts and the stable flies at home. Looked good in both the recent Flemington jumpouts and draws the inside barrier. LANGLO CROSSING (3) won a jump out and led here first-up but folded up badly (vet cleared). He was well in the market and a sharper effort is anticipated from the Moody-Coleman-trained galloper. MR VEGAS (4) debuts and brings a strong of promising jumpouts. Looks to have plenty, but a wide gate needs managing. SUGGESTED PLAY: Neverenoughlego with the race fitness.
