YAMASHITA'S GOLD (4) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 1.75 lengths from the winner in second over 5f in the LR Blue Diamond Preview (Colts & Geldings) at Sandown-Lakeside. Open to improvement and looks a serious contender. FIELD OF PLAY (3) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 6f at Moonee Valley six weeks ago. Promising type who can go back-to-back. ALEPPO PINE (2) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 5½f at Ballarat nine weeks ago and has not appeared since. Among the chances. MENSHEVIK (7) ran a fair race on debut last time out, beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth over 5f in the LR Blue Diamond Preview (Colts & Geldings) at Sandown-Lakeside on January 25. Shapes as one to consider.
