Not a great deal of pace on paper so it may be left to one of the debutants to take it up. VALAROSO (9) resumes having run a good race on debut in The Showdown at Caulfield, a $1 million race behind Big Wigs where they set up a strong speed. Better for that and has won a trial leading in, he should take plenty of beating. INNER GOLD (3) was okay fresh in a strong maiden behind Somethings Burnin' who was well backed on Saturday. Fitter now and should be an improver. Wary of CAB FRANC (1) who is a colt by Frankel for the Maher yard. Out of a G1 winner from New Zealand and has jumped out well enough. LOMU (4) just found one better first up at Mornington in a good effort and showed ability last time in. Up in trip suits better and will take holding out. SOUND SYSTEM (8) can run well fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Valaroso to win.
