Good early pressure anticipated with a large contingent of first starters. ALIANO (1) is a progressive galloper whose ready to win third-up off placings at Pakenham and Sandown-Hillside. He just missed prior at Lakeside on debut ($3.0F) and finds an easier assignment. He can use the inside barrier, and rates clear. WRENLEE (10) went well in his brief maiden campaign and had excuses at Werribee first-up when expected to win. He draws inside today with a 1.5kg claimer aboard and will have taken fitness and learning. Wary of OSTROM (13), who debuts for a top meter barn and she's been well educated. Won her latest jumpout at Pakenham and draws handy with a promising 3kg claimer aboard. A bold run is on the cards. I SAID SO (5) resumed in town and needed the outing. The Pakenham form from his initial preparation stacks up, and stripping fitter will he be around the mark. COLD LOGIC (8) didn't have much luck at Mornington on debut and may be the next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Aliano is hard to go past.
