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

Anticipating a good amount of early pressure with many of these two-year-olds facing the starter for the first time. PERFECT CHAOS (7) has been a beaten favourite in both of her starts to date, including a narrow defeat as the favourite at Pukekohe just over 8 weeks ago. She has won another trial since then, and she should get the job done this time. SYSTEM OF PLAY (3) won his latest of 3 public trials, and he hails from the leading Walker/Bergerson stable. He was a high-priced, ready-to-run candidate, and he is expected to be very competitive on debut. Follow the market moves. VANTAGE POINT (5) did not fire on debut after getting too far back on the inside. He was a trial comfortably before that, and he can make amends here. Stick with him for all top 4 combos. HIGH GOAL (1) raced greenly on debut at Tauherenikau when well-found in the market. He will improve with the experience, and he has the ability to win a race at short notice, so stick with him. MISS MAGNETICA (10) has won her only public trial very easily, and she is in good hands. Use the market as your best guide. SUGGESTED PLAY: Perfect Chaos can win this, but check for market moves.
