Many of these step out for the first time so a genuine tempo is expected. LYRICS 'N' SONG (9) looks clearly he one to beat. She's a very well-bred filly by Written Tycoon out of champion mare Melody Belle who was heavily backed on debut at Moonee Valley and tried hard when just edged out into second. Better for that and she should have these covered. GRAYNITA (6) is a filly by Frosted on debut for the Hayes yard. She's won a couple of Pakenham jumpouts leading in and looks to have good ability. Respecting. SABEERIA (10) was another favoured runner on debut, sent out at $2.30 at Kilmore when fourth. Expect improvement off that, she can figure in the finish. RAINY NIGHT (14) resumes. He was well backed behind a handy one on debut at Ballarat Synthetic and could be a quick improver this time in. ECO EXPRESS (1) is a gelding by Alabama Express on debut who can run well for the top yard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lyrics 'N' Song to win.
