WHISKEYTHENWINE (1) is a eight-start maiden who was close to a win before a three-and-a-half months break, finishing off with a minor placing at Turf Paradise (Dirt). Jockey S R Amador back aboard. Rates on top and is a great chance to open the campaign with a win. FLIGHT RYDER (2) was in a rearwards position on the turn last time out before finishing 8 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1609m at Turf Paradise (Dirt). Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. OM BY DARK (5) is a nicely bred four-year-old gelding on debut. By Om from Camille C who has produced some fine gallopers, including winners at black type level. Has the right credentials to make a bright start to his career despite a difficult draw. THREE P'S (3) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1006m at Turf Paradise Turf, beaten 26 lengths into sixth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
