A very pleasant 24 degrees is forecast for Wangaratta on Monday and this track will very likely be Good 4 to begin. We're into it with a sprint Maiden. 4 and 14 could be expected to lead it. SWISS IMPACT was sound on debut after pleasing jumpouts. Finished a clear 2nd to the $1.30 winner and this is the first test of that form. PRAY FOR ELEGANCE started favourite on debut but it looked as though that run - and the spell since - could have been a learning experience. Has had a handful of trials/jumpouts since mid September. Neither newcomer has jumped out like a looming debut winner necessarily but nor would you be surprised were they to be finishing top four.
