Good speed anticipated with a large number of first starters lining up. In a race decimated by scratchings, it's clearly LETTERS PATENT (1) on top. Raced handy then battled on well to be beaten just 1.4 lengths by the highly regarded Omolong on debut last start over 1100m at Warwick Farm. Should build on that performance and take a ton of beating. LOUD AND CLEAR (7) is a nicely bred colt by leading sire Snitzel from the stakes-winning mare Clearly. Won a recent Warwick Farm trial and look for a bold run on debut. KILLA (11) finished 4 lengths back in fourth on debut over 1000m at Kembla Grange last start. Better for that run and worth including. FEURON (4) is a colt on debut by sire Hellbent from the stakes-winning mare Chabaud. Coming along well at the trials with a minor placing at his most recent. Watch for any market confidence. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Letters Patent.
