FORTUNA STRIDE (3) hasn't raced for nine months when she debuted with a midfield finish at Menangle but expect she will have developed with maturity. Looks to be right up to the mark following placings in two recent trials at Menangle. Should enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position so expecting a bright start to the campaign. WHITBYS DELIGHT (6) is a daughter of champion sire Bettors Delight on debut for the Kerryann Morris stable. Has decent trial form coming into this including a win in one of her hitouts at Menangle. Can make an immediate impact. TULHURST CHASE (1) has been readied for his return with a trial win and is aided by the ace draw. DEPASSANT (5) is race fit now and could be close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a second at this circuit and distance.
