Many of these step out for the first time so a genuine tempo is expected. OCEAN EMPRESS (8) resumes and was heavily backed here on debut when last seen. She's trialled sharply at Warwick Farm and in a strong lead Collett sticks from that. Has an inside barrier and a bold run is on the cards. OVER THE LIMIT (1) raced forward and found a place this track and trip last time. It was a much better effort and he's a chance holding the form. SORENTINA (7) debuts for the Litt yard and it has a 21% strike rate at this track. She's been well-trialled and just missed at Warwick Farm in the most recent. Has Ford aboard and she looks ready to go. MAYSUN (10) debuts for a top Randwick stable with two recent trials under the saddle. The betting will be key with her as well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ocean Empress appeals.
