Run Away Renee, trained by Clinton Taylor, has strong debut claims after impressing in trials with a three-quarter length win and a top ride from Justin Stanley, who stays on board.
Drawn in barrier six, she should sit just off the speed and, with a similar turn of foot, will be tough to beat.
Pretty Slick, trained by Ricky Vale, looks tough to beat over her preferred 1000m distance, where she has won three times, including a strong victory in Townsville last April.
With Ryan Wiggins likely using front-running tactics, she’ll be hard to catch in a thin field.
Hellish, now with Clinton Taylor after moving from Danny O’Brien, makes his debut for his new trainer.
Despite mixed form this year, including a maiden win at Echuca and a poor finish in a BM58 race, he won a recent barrier trial and should benefit from this drop in class.
