ALPINE RECORD wasn't pressured when a close second to Paddy Pie in Caulfied Heath Trial. Winner then won nicely on debut as $2.60 fav. Time was very quick for the morning with seven-time winners Gin A Tonic only marginally quicker. OYSTER LANE is always amongst the top picks as he keeps running nice consistent races over this trip. Suited by the big track and only a matter of time before he breaks through. LEI has placed in two runs this preparation at 1300m and that's a good foundation for this trip. The blinkers going on for the first time is a positive. THANKFUL SMILE ran some strong sectional data first up running best last 200m of the meeting, and the trip should suit. VARADERO jumps up sharply in trip after coming through a fast run race last time. Lame on debut when running well, and winner of race placed in Saturday metro company.
