Tricky little race to open proceedings. GAULTIER (5) hasn't exactly been missed by early markets off a solid run at Caulfield Heath, getting back over 1000m but recording some nice late splits in a slowly run affair. He looks very well suited getting to 1200m. SALTY PEARL (3) brings the best form on paper, third in a G3 race at Morphettville last time out. She was beaten 5.5 lengths there by a couple of smart ones and pays the penalty with 57kg as a filly but clearly has good ability. MILLENNIUM BLADE (2) comes through a strong race here on debut behind Prince Tycoon who is a chance in the G2 Brc Sires at Eagle Farm later today. Expecting that form to hold up. WARRIOR SMILE (1) has the most race experience with four starts. Back in trip here but should give a sight. THE REAL MAN (6) is the pick of the newcomers.
