Not a great deal of pace on paper so it may be left to one of the debutants to take it up. PRINCESS DAISY (11) had some strong trial form prior to finishing fourth on debut at Morphettville in metro company 11 days ago. She had to work hard in that race, so to finish where she did was very encouraging. This is easier, and she should go close. GLADIAC (10) has improved in each of her 3 public trials and will only need some luck from a tricky gate to be very competitive on debut. Follow any positive market leads. GIFT OF SILENCE (8) won her latest of 3 trials under Rochelle Milnes who will keep the ride for her debut. She is in good hands and adds to the puzzle in a decent field with a lot of unknowns. ZEREALM (5) put in a good effort to finish fourth on debut here, and then was runner-up by a nose at Strathalbyn 3 weeks ago. He is a 5YO having just his third career start, and his first win is not far away. NEVER PEGASUS (3) is another first starter who has won a recent trial. He has been patiently handled and deserves respect, especially if there is any money for him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Princess Daisy can win this.
