This colt by Sebring showed a good turn of foot on debut, putting his rivals away with ease over the 900m at Newcastle.
That run was made even more impressive after beginning slowly and being used up between the 800-600m to find a decent position in the run.
His sectionals from that run on a soft track were great and stack up against Enforcement, who was dominant over the same track and distance on a good surface late last month.
That runner then went on to beat Rotator, who finds himself the short-price favourite here but is quickly proving a non-winner for punters.
The booking of Blake Shinn, the most in-form jockey in Australia, is a big push from the stable, indicating their high expectations for him in this race.
The only query is the bottomless track, but you'd have to think the Kris Lees stable will make the right call on his ability to handle the conditions.
With natural progression expected from his first to second career run, look for him to jump out of the ground and prove hard to beat.
Kensington Race 3 Tip #8 Golly Miss Solly $13.00 each-way
This five-year-old mare showed a stack of ability in her first preparation, before a long stint on the sidelines.
Formerly from the Benjamin Smith stable, her embargo to race was lifted on the 21st of May and she was sent straight to the trials the following day.
She trialled impressively at Newcastle, where she was given a couple of hits with the whip in the straight and responded well by running through the line with vigour.
Both the trainer and jockey have come off city wins in recent weeks and it looks as though they mean business here.
She was dominant in victory at her only attempt on a heavy track and whilst that was in maiden company, she ran a good time and looked to relish the conditions.
With good pace on in this race, she's likely to sit one pair back on the rail and stalk the leaders to receive the gun run.
The 2kg claim for an in-form Jenny Duggan is a huge plus.
He couldn't have been more impressive in the two trials leading into this debut.
In the first trial, he settled behind Group 3 winner Toni Nicconi and picked up in the straight to finish alongside the gelding.
Back in third was the talented Sesar, who took out last Saturday's Winter Dash at Randwick in style.
Splendid Surprise then went to Hawkesbury and won a trial over 1000m.
This should have him fit enough and raring to go for his first career start.
Kensington Race 5 Tip #6 Haut Brion Her $2.20
This three-year-old by Zoustar has been impressive in her two starts,
On debut, she hit the front but was only run down by stablemate Zalatte. That runner went on to win her next two starts and then more recently contested quality group races, including the Group 1 Surround Stakes where she finished midfield.
Haut Brion Her broke her maiden status in her following run and was then put out to spell.
She looks to have only improved following her stint in the paddock, with some impressive trials under her belt leading into this first-up assignment.
The filly travelled as good as Sylvia’s Mother in one trail and then even better against Wagner on a heavy track.
From the inside barrier, I expect her to go to the front and make every post a winner.
