Two-year-old gelding Honest Lee made a noteworthy debut winning comfortably by two lengths. He showed good early pace and soon took the lead without crossing to the rails in the Heavy8 conditions. He was under a bit of pressure at the 200m but he then responded well and drew clear for a decisive win. The favourite Tears Of Joy was midfield and wide with cover and raced a bit greenly when crowded in the mid-stages. She fanned deep rounding the home turn and rallied nicely in the latter stages for a promising second on debut. This Mark Kavanagh-trained filly should appreciate further and is worth watching. *ANZ
