Plenty of speed in this 2YO race and that might help the impressive debutante METALLICITY. He looked to have a big long stride in both his trial wins showing plenty of talent, but he still needs to prove he can handle the pressure and lack of room in a race. Plenty of other chance if he fails. TREASURER could be a surprise runner from a Wyong trial and FLASHING STEEL handled the soft ground well in trials. Barrier trial notes; FLASHING STEEL genuine (quiet 4th, ran on well 1st on soft), FROZEN PRINCE was OK (led 2nd), METALLICITY impressed with big stride (near pace 1st and 1st), MIDNIGHTINMONTREAL solid (on-pace 3rd and 3rd), NORTHERN BEACHES fair (midfield 5th), SWEET RIDE tough on-pace (2nd and 1st), TREASURER showed talent (led 1st at Wyong), A LOT MORE LOVE outsprinted (midfield 7th), MADAME POMMERY solid (led urged 2nd, on-pace 1st), SMART VENGEANCE was OK (on-pace 4th, on-pace 1st). STREET SMARTS solid (on-pace 2nd and 2nd). [FORM GUIDE only]
