RACE 1 (1,650M) 3 Not A Few turned in an eye-catching fifth first-up in his debut, also his first attempt in Class 5, despite a slow start.

1 Fairy Horse backs up from Nov 6, when he narrowly missed the placings in fourth. While draw 11 is not ideal, he is primed for a breakthrough in this grade.

4 Spangle Fortune has trialled well since his first-up run. Looks sent to get on the pace from his low barrier under claiming apprentice.

5 Colourful Baron impressed with an easy 1,800m win last start, despite covering extra ground. Inside gate will make things even better.

RACE 2 (1,200M) 3 Circuit Jolly ran third on debut after vying for the lead. Jumping a track mark near the 170m did not help. He has trialled ideally in between runs and is the one to beat, especially from barrier 3.

1 Juneau Pride ran on for second from barrier 12, just ahead of Circuit Jolly. Better drawn in 2.

6 Ka Ying Attack ran above market expectations on debut with a close-up fourth. Watch.

5 Etalon Or has been performing well despite wide draws, missing by a narrow margin in recent starts and can go close again.

RACE 3 (1,200M) 2 Roman Crown has trialled well in between runs since his first Class 4 test. Zac Purton booking suggests he is ready to improve.

1 Master Trillion won on debut for Frankie Lor and appears better than Class 4 standard. Can win again, despite the widest barrier.

9 Monarch County ran a good race on debut. Should benefit from that run and take a step forward.
