Tricky race & a tricky map as 6 of the 8 take on this distance range for the first time. From what we've seen to date I'd suggest nos.1, 2 & 8 go forward however there will likely be others. SPIRIT OF TORQUE took 10 starts to shed the maiden status & that was right here over 1640m on Cup Day. I don't think she beat anything of note however did so by a decent margin & we know she'll be strong at the end. THE GREY ONE was Autumn Glow odds at the Gold Coast when winning his maiden, he too be an average bunch however has the upside & should run the trip. Bit of a lottery this one.
