Prize Money: $22,140

Son of a G 1 winning mare SINOCENTRIC (4) makes racecourse debut today for the David Simcock team. Chance he may be smart given owner usually sells on her colts. Narrow selection. Fellow debutant RAVENSPIRE (3) represents connections that often strike first time up these days. Makes plenty of appeal. STARSHIP TROOPER (5) is entitled to do much better as a three-year-old knowing the track record of his stable. Close second at Pontefract when last seen in the autumn. Respect. INTO THE LIGHT (1) overcame greenness to make a winning start at Lingfield last month. Penalty to carry but must be considered.

Was well-supported at debut, won ran on strongly from last on the turn and won by 1.0 len at Lingfield All Weather February 14 over 2000m defeating Al Azd carrying 59kg at $3.80. Should improve and can feature in the finish again.

Was as a despised roughie at debut, 6th of 10 at Newcastle All Weather on February 24 over 1600m, 15 len behind Exmoor carrying 56kg at $151. Doubt he will trouble these.

On debut ninth of 11 at Great Yarmouth September 18 over 1800m, 13 len behind Baltic Fleet with 60.5kg at $8.50. Progressive and expected to measure up.

Was well-supported at debut, raced on the pace before fading second last of 9 at Kempton Park All Weather on January 19 over 2200m, 14 len behind Helga carrying 58kg at $2.60. Better for that run but others preferred.
