Race comment
Luke McCarthy's Huntsville colt DON HUNTER (2) looks a readymade two-year-old having impressed in winning his last three trials at this circuit and distance, cruising home by a big margin in the latest. Those hitouts will have him ready to go and the low draw gives him every chance to kick off with a win. PASSION AND PAIN (9) draws wide but had a similar barrier when runner-up at his debut two back then progressed to win the Sapling Final over this distance at Newcastle last time. May need some luck but has upside as does THEMIDNIGHTEXPRESS (4) who kicked off his career with a Victorian win, leading to score more than 2m at Maryborough. Could progress along with RISEABOVETHEREST (3) who draws nicely and did well to score after racing parked on debut.

Race comment
Luke McCarthy's Huntsville colt DON HUNTER (2) looks a readymade two-year-old having impressed in winning his last three trials at this circuit and distance, cruising home by a big margin in the latest. Those hitouts will have him ready to go and the low draw gives him every chance to kick off with a win. PASSION AND PAIN (9) draws wide but had a similar barrier when runner-up at his debut two back then progressed to win the Sapling Final over this distance at Newcastle last time. May need some luck but has upside as does THEMIDNIGHTEXPRESS (4) who kicked off his career with a Victorian win, leading to score more than 2m at Maryborough. Could progress along with RISEABOVETHEREST (3) who draws nicely and did well to score after racing parked on debut.
