NOCTURNAL (7) was very consistent during his juvenile season and was last seen when fifth in the G1 Breeders Challenge Final in October having earlier won a heat of that series at Menangle. Has recorded a win and a placing in two fresh attempts and should be ready to go following two trials. LOOKMEOVER (5) hasn't raced for more than seven months but showed ability in a brief maiden campaign when she finished runner-up on debut at Wagga before scoring by 2.8 metres at Cranbourne when last seen. Readied with two good trials and could go through her grades this time in. FRIZZA (6) broke as a hot favourite last start but was an impressive 27.5m winner when resuming at Dubbo prior so must be respected. FORTUNA STRIDE (3) broke the maiden at this circuit and distance last start and could take the next step.
