On debut and hard to think it won't be there at the finish, with both trainer and jockey on top of their game. Won a trial eleven month ago, so they've certainly given it time. A good sign

F: x160xB(3)W(56.5)
( J-Lily Sutherland )

Stable has ventured south with quite a few recently and most of their success has been when they hand the reins to Lily. This one resumes and ran in good company last time up. Could rise through the grades

F: x2347B(7)W(58.0)
( J-Lily Sutherland )

Lily is in demand from these good northern trainers and she's picked up a strong chance here. Albeit seventh last start, it was less than three lengths off the winner and close up in prior runs

F: 25xB(9)W(58.0)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )

Goes in on the basis of its short odds, suggesting there's confidence in its chances. Although it has good trial form, it has to overcome outside draw

3 Carter John
F: 36B(2)W(58.5)

F: 43B(10)W(58.0)

Has looked like a upcoming winner in both its starts and this Soft footing will be more to its liking. Craig Grylls obviously is the 'winning' factor to its chances today

Won
F: 33223B(14)W(58.0)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )
( T-Ben & Ryan Foote )
Yet to finish further back than third in its six starts to date so has to be considered a strong chance. But it did step up to middle distance last time and generally it is hard to then drop back, at short notice. The gate 18 draw is of concern too
Next Best
9 Zaravela
F: 30233B(1)W(56.5)
( J-Kate Hercock )
( T-Kate Hercock )
Its chances lie in the fact that the trainer/jockey is Kate Hercock. Dropping back from middle distance
Consider
2 Unusual Choice

2 Cut Loose
F: 421B(6)W(59.0)
( J-Kate Hercock )
( T-David Haworth )
Promising first up run just before Christmas and then caught the eye when resuming in February. So to see it get the win at only its third start eleven days ago was no surprise. The step up to 1600m should be just perfect

F: 16x77B(7)W(58.0)
