STRAANDSTORM (9) back for her second prep when charging late to run a respectable fourth over 1100m at Goulburn. Senior rider engaged and capable of finishing over the top of these. ANNE (3) Shalaa filly who resumes for the in-form Curtis yard. Fitted with the two trials and expected to have strengthened over the break. MR ANTARES (1) Churchill gelding from a Star Witness mare on debut for the Jarrod Austin yard. Fitted with the two trials and can take a hand in the finish.
