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

Plenty of first starters engaged which makes it tricky to map, but we can assume a keen tempo. Tricky to assess, and the betting should be instructive. SCRUFFY (12) resumes, and her initial campaign was promising. Performs fresh and has trialled well. Jumps from the inside barrier and appeals most. POWER OF SUCCESS (6) resumes and two back placed at Warwick on debut. Brings strong trial placings and maps well. The 3kg claim brings him right into it. STEPLIKA LION (4) draws wide but has trialled sharply for his debut. Has a 2kg claim and has to be kept onside. HIDEYOSHI (3) has a cruel barrier but gets Huxtable for his debut outing. In good hands, and the betting will be key. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Scruffy.
