The Alan Greeff-trained (1) FIRST OFFICER is a son of Querari and could be the right one on his debut.

(3) JUST CARTER represents trainer Dean Smith, and he would love it if his first juvenile runner was a winner.

(2) J LORDI and (6) WILD STAR also represent trainers who are adept at winning with two-year-olds and must be respected.

(2) LAYDELAY is the pick of the field on form.

(5) PRICELESS TREASURE is threatening to open her account and must be respected.

(10) GENERAL PARDON can improve after changing trainers.

(6) TOUCH THE SWORD has some fair form and has a place chance.

(1) TERMINAL VELOCITY has been threatening for some time to win a race and could not get much more of a gift opportunity. A perfect draw and jockey Richard Fourie could do the job.

(3) OH MANDY has a similar profile, and she looked unlucky not to win her latest as she was making excellent progress very late.

(4) RED LHASA has been modest in two starts on this Polytrack but could be third best.

(6) CELTIQUE could pick up the fourth cheque.

(4) PRINCESS OF BAYEUX makes her local debut. She has run in better fields but is trying the Polytrack for the first time.

(3) BLACKBERRY BREEZE is in good form and should fight it out.

(2) DOWNING SEVEN hinted that he may be having a winning turn soon.

(1) SLAINTE MHATH is unreliable but could still earn some money.

(3) EAST COAST GIRL was beaten by a good sort last time. She has won twice on the Poly and could beat these rivals.

(2) BACK FOR MORE is
