Many of these two-year-olds step out for the first time so a strong pace is anticipated. BAR JESTER (1) led and won the Clan O'Sullivan in impressive fashion, with the form from behind her being franked in recent times. The inside draw should see him right on the pace once again for Keatings and they meet at level weights once again. Can repeat the dose. MUSIC TIME (3) couldn't get by Bar Jester first-up before bolting in here a fortnight ago. Drawing out there looked a big key to his win and he draws away from the rail again today for Boudvillain. Will be spotting Bar Jester a start but should be winding up late. THE WILDLING (10) looked good in a recent trial and her form through the G3 Gimcrack stands right out. Will need some luck from the barrier, but there's no doubt she possesses some talent. SOMERFORD (9) has shown promising signs at the trials and is not to be discounted on debut. PAULINE'S DREAM (8) turned in a sneaky good trial behind Spread The Love coming into this and represents some value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bar Jester can go back-to-back.
