There will be plenty of speed in this 2YO race to kick off the afternoon (tempo: STRONG). COMMAND APPROVED could have the early dash to cross to the lead and if he races more genuinely at his home track he will be very hard to run down. HARD TO SAY, SHALALEID, RUSSIAN CONQUEST and SNITCAT all have decent form and rate in the mix. MILLS is a well-supported first starter off a sneaky quiet trial. Barrier trial notes; LASTING PROMISE was OK (quiet 5th, held ground 4th), MONASTERY was OK (quiet 7th, held ground 4th), NARNIA genuine on-pace (2nd), HELLAVADANCER better on the rail (back 4th, on-pace rail 1st), FIELD COMMANDER honest (chased midfield 6th), MILLS not asked much (touch keen near pace 5th), SEMPER INVICTUS (near pace 4th, led 1st lesser grade), DOLLY BIRD (back 5th).
