AAP

Trials (1:1-0-0). Signalled ability with a solid trial performance at Townsville. Isabella Teh stays aboard for debut. Stiff opening test but watch for market support.

RP

Trainer not renowned for getting debutant winners; shares a dam with Creativity Miss, a 6f winner; gelded already; faces fairly tall order so overlooked unless the market says otherwise.

Trials (1:0-1-0). Winner packed too many punches but ran on well enough to place in Cairns trial. Looks capable of featuring on debut.

Trials (1:0-0-1). Clearly not up to winner but did enough to place in his Cairns trial. Odds may prove best guide here.

Makes competitive race debut; related to Acedrod (winner from 6f up to 1m); market may be informative on her prospects as this looks a difficult assignment first time out.
