Tricky one to map with a number of first starters but over this trip there is good speed anticipated. THE TROUBLESHOOTER (6) has been tackling stronger races of late, third in a strong race at Flemington first up before an even effort there last time. Back in grade now and rates highly, go close. HOPEFUL CHAMPION (9) is a first-starter for the Jerome Hunter yard by Banquo from Wannabe who has been a prolific producer including winners at black type level. Respecting off a jumpout win. SEATICFLASH (5) is a mare by Hanseatic out of The Grey Flash making her first appearance for the Begg yard who are always dangerous. Keep safe. AFTERTHEGOLDRUSH (7) is a filly by Shalaa for the Cliff Brown yard who has won a jumpout here and looks a live chance. SWEET KANZAI (12) also has claims on debut for the Hayes yard. Betting the best guide to this race. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Troubleshooter on top.
