Tombellini showed that heavy ground wasn't a problem in a handicap at Newcastle last time out but will need to find a bit more to challenge here. Junket was only half a length behind the winner on debut in what is proving to be a relatively weak maiden based on those who have subsequently raced. However, if she shows improvement then she has claims. Divine Call has shown progression in two runs so far and pedigree indicates he should handle the ground conditions. He should play a part but our vote goes to HAJJAAN. This $400,000 purchase has shown signs of ability in two runs so far and can shed his maiden tag.
