Track: Good 3   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: +2m 1200m-400m .  

Tricky one to map with a number of first starters but over this trip there is good speed anticipated. BRITISH NAVY (2) three-year-old Fastnet Rock gelding out of Heart Of The Oak on debut for the Richard & Will Freedman yard. Fitted with the three trials and must be kept safe from the draw. KWIRKY SMILE (9) Ole Kirk filly from Danehill Smile having her first start for the Baker yard. Won the latest trial in good order over 1030m at Rosehill. Drawn out but can take a hand in the finish. OVER THE LIMIT (14) resumes. Did nothing in two runs last campaign as a two-year-old. Has since been given time to mature and won a Warwick Farm trial in readiness for this. Also employ a market watch for the remaining debutants NUNS CHORUS (10) and THREE WISHES (7). SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 2,9,14.
