OVERVIEW: BANIA (2) steps out on debut here for David Barbetti and Mick Stanley, and I suspect he can make a winning start in this maiden event. He beat the handy Magellan in a trial at Maryborough back in July and then ran really well in a subsequent hit-out at Melton when closing off nicely from last to be beaten 5.6m in a 57.3 last half. He then won his most recent effort back at Maryborough on October 4. Happy his way. RIDE HIGH CAPTIN (8) brings clearly the best form into this maiden assignment, with runner-up placings from his last two outings. Two back, he led and was run down by the smart King Baldwin with a big margin back to third, and then wobbled around the corner at Ballarat, regained the lead and was nailed late by Ultimate Grange. He has won a Bacchus Marsh trial since and looks sure to go close in this. The others would surprise.
BACK: BANIA (2) – 2 units (win)
