ALS CHOICE (3) faces the starter for the first time. By American Ideal and hails from the I K Watson stable. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Looks to have some ability based on a recent trial win. Well-placed to score at his first appearance. MELS NIGHT OUT (4) had put together a string of strong performances then maintained the momentum last start when he finished third over 1790m at Mildura, beaten 4.5 metres. That latest effort is good enough to take out a race like this. MAXI ANGEL (2) finished 8 metres back in fifth over 1790m at Mildura recently at his first race start. Strips fitter and can improve. SHEZA MAJOR CRUNCH (1) is a two-year-old filly from the Matthew Craven yard on debut. Has the benefit of a good draw. Sure to prove tough to beat.
