Tricky. Two debutants from leading metro barns may hold the key. MOCKRIDGE (5) has been winning well at the jumpouts and only has to bring that form to race day to go close. HOLD MY DRINK (3) has also been well-prepared and will get every chance from an inside gate with Moor aboard. LONG BREW (8) also debuts and looks ready to go. Egan's booking interests. SANS EGAL (9) found a place at Bendigo on debut on a heavy track. Maps well and Newitt goes aboard.
