Oakeys Choice and Noctua can be prominent. CALLENEM THRU (6) resumes and was a big Maiden winner here three back on debut. Went close at the track following and has had a trial at Warwick Farm. She's back in grade and McDougall's booking is a decent push for her chances. The yard has a strong record targeting this venue. PICKSIX (7) is the first of Matt Kelley's gallopers to front on the stable's race day. Won here this grade as expected and will present in peak condition. He's still improving and can make the finish. SHELLY'S ACE (8) led and finished 1L behind the above and keeps the handy 2kg claim. She'll be around the mark at a price. Early markets suggest NOCTUA (3) will race well first up. Has failed to place both first-up runs but has ability and can return improved. SUGGESTED PLAY: Expecting a bold run from Callenem Thru.
