Verdict

DIVINE MIRAGE (4) led them up at Bunbury on debut and ended up 1L off the winner. She pulled up with some heat stress there and the drop to 5f today looks a big tick. Can be on the speed again from a good draw and she looks poised to strike in this easier event. AFIREOFGIDGEECOALS (1) pulled up with a slight issue following his disappointing debut performance over this track and trip. Fiore rides today and the better draw today is a big tick for his chances. Blinkers come off now and a much better performance is on the cards. MR KAPLAN (8) gets Pike in the saddle here, sticking with her after partnering her at the trials coming into this. She was impressive from the back in her latest outing and she can make a statement on debut. FLYING SWAGMAN (2) was impressive in his latest trial under Carbery and he's not to be discounted. FLAMINIUS (5) has shown enough at the trials to suggest she can run a good race on debut.
