Atoka to make good use of the inside gate at a moderate tempo. SHAROHA (6) Shalaa filly resuming from a lengthy break and now in the Nathan Doyle stable. Offered little on debut when seventh over 1100m at Pakenham last February. Given time to develop further and her two recent trial placings have been full of merit. Finds a weak maiden to kick off. STRAAND CARE (1) was well supported late in betting to start fav on his debut when no match for Puerto Banus over 900m at Newcastle. Returns from a let-up with the winkers going on. Clearly has upside and this looks much easier. SEE YOU THEN (5) Magna Grecia out of Heavens Touch filly on debut for the Northam stable. Impressed in her lone trial here and stays in the calculations. CUP OF AMBITION (9) freshened up and drops back in trip after mixing it up at her last couple of runs. Will add value to the exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sharoha to sprint well fresh.
