Tricky race to assess with a stack of first starters engaged. LA ROUX (6) is a Zousain filly on debut for Phillip Stokes who shoulders a solid record with first starters. Has impressed in her jump-outs and is expected to make a bright start. EAGERLY AWAITS (5) is a Written Tycoon filly on debut for the sharp juvenile stable of Price & Kent Jnr. Was pushed out in most recent jump out when finishing second at Cranbourne, so expecting her to be forward enough. The booking of Nunes reads favourably and she looks one of the main hopes. DAMPEN (1) is best placed out of the raced pair. Showed good early speed on debut, only to be claimed late. Is sure to have come on with that run under the belt and can take this out. BLISS BOMB (3) and PRETTY PERKY (9) are on top of the other debutants. From smart stables so deserves respect, especially if the market agrees.
