Anticipating a stack of early pressure over the sprint course with many of these at the races for the first time. WHAT'S THE POINT (7) has displayed plenty of talent at the trials but has proven to have a mind of his own at times, being scratched at the barriers at York on October 10. His two trials since then have been sharp and 1300m fresh doesn't appear an issue. Can put it all together today and land the knockout blow. MARKET PLAYER (5) showed good improvement in his most recent outing under Chris Parnham when running on strongly from the back. This trip looks ideal first-up and it wouldn't surprise to see him be better over further. Can land in a good spot from the draw and can make an immediate impact. HOLDOUT (1) was thrown into an Open 3YO event first-up last campaign and wasn't disgraced there. He was raced sparingly this year so far and should be fitter for two trials coming into this. Best form is good enough, he just needs to recapture that. MIDNIGHT EXPRESS (6) Looked good in his recent trial and has to be included. SUGGESTED PLAY: What's The Point goes on top.
