The presence of a few newcomers will keep Taupe busy. TAUPE (10) has been showing plenty of natural speed in each of her 3 starts to date, and has only been caught late in her last couple of runs when finishing runner-up. She will find this an easier target, and has her chance to take them all the way this time. COSMIC GRACE (9) makes her debut after some sound jumpout performances, and she will have the if form Craig Newitt in the saddle. A good gate will help, and any positive market support will add to the confidence. DISCREET POINT (1) looks to have a future, and will be having his first run as a gelding. He will be a lot stronger this year, and if he doesn't need the run, he will be right in the finish. HARFORD (3) makes his debut off the back of a trial win last month, and he is perfectly drawn in an even field. If not too green, he can have a say in the outcome of this race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Taupe can win this.
