Not the strongest of races and it would not be a surprise if either of the two Sir Mark Prescott runners Noble Lady or On Point are capable on their debut. Market confidence will speak in their favour but on jockey booking and breeding preference is given to the latter. Percy Douglas, from his good draw, is the TEAMtalk selection. Running well in defeat he has a good opportunity to record his first victory for his in-form trainer. Reg Hollinshead has a good record at this track and he must have a little bit of faith in Victory Flip who has not set the world on fire yet but looks the type who will improve slowly for racing.
