Not a great deal of speed on paper so it may be left to one of the first starters to roll to the front. GIN TWIST (9) is a filly by boom sire Home Affairs who kicks off for the Hayes yard. Her latest jump out at Flemington was excellent to the eye, showing speed and gapping her rivals. She looks ready to go for one of the best 2yo stables in the country. BRAZEN DECHAMBEAU (2) was okay in G3 company on debut and kicks off here with a spell under his belt. Can improve this time in. OUR BRAVE BOY (5) is a Brave Smash gelding on debut for the Stokes yard who has jumped out well and can figure. GOOD FEEL (4) two-year-old colt out of Group 1 winning dam Costa Viva. Filled a minor placing in his most recent trial at Flemington. Has the pedigree so don't dismiss. SUGGESTED PLAY: Gin Twist to win.
