Tricky one to map with a large contingent of first starters but expect good early pressure. It's hard to ignore the Sydney formlines of MISS CHANEL (10) who backs up from last week's G2 Reisling Stakes, where she ran a very credible race in third behind leading Golden Slipper fancy Chayan. She'll roll forward and take a power of catching. PHILLIP ISLAND (8) is the query on debut. He's a well bred colt by Written Tycoon who kicks off for the Price & Kent Jnr yard, off the back of a dominant trial win. Expect him to have supporters. MILSONS POINT (1) had issues in the Blue Diamond but had been good in the Preview prior. Give another chance. LAGUNANINI (11) won very nicely on debut at Sale on wet ground in solid time. She looks to bounce out from the inside gate and will take catching. KNURL (2) showed ability as an early 2yo last time in and has to be respected with a spell under the belt. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Chanel to win.
