Many of these two-year-olds step out for the first time so a strong pace is anticipated. ZELIA (4) has been racing super this time in. Can handle it dry and wet. Big chance here well drawn at Listed level. BEST ROSE (5) ace gate again. Has had good battles with the top pick in all her runs so far. Looks the quinella here drawn the ace. QUEEN'S EVIDENCE (6) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 1100m at Wingatui six weeks ago. Good win. Speedy and can overcome the gate. Main danger to the top pair. CHAMPAGNE DIBLU (2) is an Anna Furlong-trained two-year-old gelding lining up for debut. Impressive recent trial winner. Good draw will assist chances. Chance here so check the tote quote. ALOTTAGO (1) was a distant third on debut behind the top pick. Well drawn in this field. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zelia and Best Rose are win wagers. Save on the box quinella with Queen's Evidence.
