Expecting Off'n'gawn to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. WINSILENCE (5) has raced handy and been highly competitive in his two runs this prep, both over shorter trips at Sale. Cherry ripe now and 1200m looks his right trip. OFF'N'GAWN (7) is a four-year-old mare back after a year off the scene. Didn't show a great deal in her only two runs in the maiden campaign. Trials have been satisfactory - let the market tell the story. SISTER'S RUN (9) worked home well without threatening first-up over this course and distance. In contention with that run under the belt. GANGLAND (10) Debutant son of Street Boss from Foxpack who was purchased for AUD $ 210,000 (Magic Millions 2025 Gold Coast Yearling Sale). Winner of his most recent trial and stable strike-rate with debutantes is strong. SUGGESTED PLAY: Winsilence looks a great chance to open his account.
