#2 Circuit Jolly performed solidly on debut, finishing third after vying for the lead throughout, possibly losing the race when he jumped a track mark near the 170-metre mark. He has trialled ideally in between runs and is the one to beat, especially with a favourable draw in barrier 3. #1 Juneau Pride finished second on debut, just ahead of Circuit Jolly, powering home late from gate 12. He’s drawn sweetly in barrier 2 this time and, like many of John Size's young runners, will have improved for the run. #6 Ka Ying Attack outperformed market expectations on debut with a close-up fourth, just a neck behind. #5 Etalon Or has been performing well despite wide draws, missing by a narrow margin in recent starts and can go close again.
