Tricky one to map with a number of debutants but over this trip there is good speed anticipated. MARK THE SKY (5) is on debut for the Dan Morton stable and there's plenty to like. He's a well-related colt, a brother to G1 winner Portland Sky as well as a couple of other handy types. His latest trial was enormous and if he can run up to that effort on debut, he'll be very hard to beat. COS I AM (6) settled near the back on debut and flew home to win over 1000m. The slight rise in distance looks a key for her and her racing pattern last start suggests the wide draw isn't a problem either. Watch for her flying late once again. HILLSIDE AVENUE (7) missed narrowly as the odds-on favourite at Pinjarra last start and may be better suited back to the 1100m journey. She'll need some luck from out wide, but she'll be hard to run down if she can get across. RUN RUPERT RUN (4) was very impressive at the trials coming into this and Pike sticks from his latest heat. Keep safe. OFFICIAL BUSINESS (2) gets the winkers on first time today and improvement is expected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mark The Sky can make a statement on debut.
