Onerous scored an easy win here on debut. He was smartly away and settled in third spot, without cover, but was travelling well. He moved up three deep coming to the home turn, took a little while to wind up but then put in a quick run to hit the lead at the 100m before going away to win with something in hand. It was a smart effort on debut and he looks like to progress to better things. Miniver began well from her wide barrier (10), she then eased but was trapped deep without cover in midfield, before improving nearing the home turn. She put in a good run, getting to third in the centre of the track at the 200m and then battled on well for a most encouraging second. It too was a smart effort on debut and she also looks quite promising. *ANZ
