EMMA TWIGG (7) won her debut easily, and she then tried hard last time out when finishing fourth in the same race as the top pick. Craig Grylls will replace an apprentice, and she can bounce straight back into the money here. COUNTRY SALON (1) set the pace and fought hard for second at Waverley last start. A good draw should secure him the run of the race, so stick with him. AL AZHAR (6) showed a lot of courage when winning her maiden at Avondale on a testing track just over 2 weeks ago. The small field here will help her, and she can repeat the dose. FANTABULOUS (5) set the pace here on debut and was only claimed late, finishing a game fifth. He has a good gate, and though he is still a maiden, he could steal this. AWESOME STORY (8) won a trial before producing a flat run here on debut. She will improve with more racing, and a small field is an advantage. Taking notes.
