Some quality bloodstock in this 2YO sprint and plenty of pressure too (tempo: STRONG), any of a number of horses could lead. LUBUK has performed well on the track already, running a strong 2nd to Exhilarates last start, who went on to win the Magic Millions. His trial into this was fine. Hopes also to MAGNATE (nice trial) and DRESDEN GREEN, who both seem to be 2YOs that can get near the pace and fight on. STRONGER and CASSY'S SISTER (big debut win in good time, but country grade) around the mark on ratings. From the debutantes, good trials from DIRTY WORK (ran 3rd behind Yes Yes Yes, looks big strong type), SPECIAL DATE (won all trials, getting better) and ZARZOU (solid near pace). Trials also fine from GRAND ZOU (won on Gold Coast leading), AESOP'S FABLE and ZOUMAZE. Could be a race for the trainers and owners to bet on. Wide open! Lubuk: Blinkers OFF FIRST TIME.
