Expecting a strong gallop with Ask Me Harry and Embezzles taking up the running over Tennyson Miss. VIKING SUN (2) put in a better effort second time at the races and looks to be improving with racing. Sure to run well. ASK ME HARRY (5) was heavily supported on debut and where there's smoke there's fire. Will have derived benefit from that race day experience and cannot be discounted. BORUS' LEGACY (1) is facing the starter for the first time but has shown ability at the trials and any market support must be noted. Keep very safe. TRUCK STOP HONEY (9) is first-up but looked good winning a recent trial and gets 2kg weight relief with the claim. Maps well from gate two and can give this a mighty shake. SUGGESTED PLAY: Viking Sun to shed the maiden tag.
