Expert Analysis

A tricky start to the new year with little exposed form to work with. Surprised if EXPLORING (4) doesn't mount a strong winning challenge. Stable are up and about with their juvenile team this season and she has a good profile. Dam was a smart two-year-old who won on debut and Exploring may follow suit off a nice jump out here. MISS ARIA (7) has also jumped out here. Twice she has looked a handy horse in the making. Fancy that 1000m will be on the slick side for her (dam was a G1 winner at a mile) but she clearly has talent. ODE TO JOY (8) has also had a couple of jump outs and looks to have some talent. Betting will be interesting around her. CROATIAN BELLE (1) won nicely on debut and race experience can be all important.
