Plenty of first starters engaged which makes it tricky to map, but we can assume a solid tempo. Tricky and the race day betting will be instructive. OLYMPIAD (10) debuts and has looked sharp at the jumpouts. The McEvoy yard flies at the track and gets them going early. John Allen is a key jockey booking, and a bold run is likely. MISS KASEI (12) led and was narrowly beaten here first-up and will keep improving for a leading metro yard. Maps low and Meech sticks and may control the race. She sets a decent standard. GIRLCANCHAT (4) jumped out well and did a good job placing her on debut. Strips fitter and should be right in the finish. ZIGGY PLAYS GUITAR (13) was an unplaced favourite on debut and may have had excuses. Resumes today and placed at his latest jumpout. Has ability and has to be kept safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Olympiad.
