Verdict
Go On Gal will have her supporters in a bid to win her first race, and given she acts well on the track and gets the trip, she looks more likely to run her race than a few here. But a chance is taken that BEACH PARTY will do better for the step into handicaps (trainer has a decent enough strike rate first time in handicaps to make that a possibility) and the switch to Fibresand will be a beneficial one. Arcadian Sea and Padleyourowncanoe are both worth a second look.
