Tough race with the raced brigade not having much depth, so debutants MINTER ENVY (5), ARCHER SWEET (4), AXEL'S RADAR (2) and RYDER'S MAGIC (7) hold the key. All are very well bred, so keep an eye on the betting moves.

ELITE DARA (4) is a member of a strong local kennel and his dam was a star speedster. EARN A ZACK (6) is another who hails from a strong kennel and he is sure to have plenty of support on debut. ELITE DOM (7) is a litter and kennel mate to the four

ROBBIE LEE ROSE (8) has been placed in two of four here and he can unwind a very strong finish. OH LANA (6) is better than her past two runs and she will be in the firing line throughout. DR. LETTIE (3) has been placed in five of eight here.

Race doesn't feature a great deal of early speed, so the zippy SMOKIN' ZAG (5) should get a fairly cheap lead and they will have a hard time reeling him in. ONE'S OBSESSION (1) is the other front runner and he will test the yellow throughout.

VICTORY BEND (5) returned to form with a strong 22.44 Traralgon win and he looks very well graded in this event. DR. SPOKES (8) was a dominant 24.60 winner here recently and he should be in the mix again. NORSE QUEEN (6) is more than capable.

DR. ASHER (1) was desperately unlucky here last week and he is drawn to make amends. GOT THE LOT (4) owns a scorching 24.39 PB here and he just needs a little room early on. DR. YANNICK (2) has the talent and he just needs luck

DR. QUEENIE (1) is two of two from this draw and she is expected to lead from go to whoa. DESMONDE (8) likes to stay wide in his races and he will keep the pressure on from the outset. STEVIES GIRL (5) is a place hope

EARLY SECRETS (4) pings the lids for a living and he should make every post a winner. MANDINGO (7) owns a scorching 24.15 PB here and he just needs to step on terms. XATU BALE (2) is capable of causing an upset.

DR. HARRIS (7) will appreciate the smaller line-up tonight and he can put a space in them mid race. DR. HAROLD (1) should hold a top two or three spot for most of the journey, while BIG LEX (2) is never too far away in this company.

TAHONTA (8) is racing with great confidence at present and he should have enough pace to cross early on. LAKEVIEW ALLY (7) was brilliant last time out and she will appreciate the smaller line-up. CYCLONE POPPY (1) has the good draw
