Competitive and leading metro barns hold the aces. SHE'S THE NEXT (13) debuts and was last seen beaten a nose on debut (Pakenham synthetic). Has a wide gate to manage but the speedy filly will be naturally improved and this is winnable if things go her way. FRATINEEZE (10) is busting to break through. She will ride the speed and is suited back to country grade. HOMECOMING (12) was back to her best placing at Yarra Valley. She won't have to improve much to fight out the finish. GILES (6) has a cruel barrier but will have taken fitness and learning from his debut run. Likely to be running into it late.
