Cracking tempo with Copperline and Kostanuffin leading the way. SPLASH OF STEEL (6) is back after an 11-week spell. Opened last prep with a barnstorming second in the $250k Magic Millions Maiden over 1100m at the Gold Coast. Won't spend a cent from the inside alley. Best form measures up nicely in this company. COPPERLINE (1) last appeared when a tiring third after leading on debut over this trip at Wyong back in July 2025. Trialling well and looks set for a bright return to the track. HEAD KAHUNA (3) backs up just five days after working home well to finish a distance second over 1200m at Mudgee. Blinkers go on for the first time which might spark further improvement. Two unraced runners should attract plenty of interest. FLIRTATION (8) from the Messara/Gavranich yard is a half-sister by Snitzel to the smart sprinter Pariah. Won her only trial and looks well above average. FANNOIR (7) returns for a second campaign. Failed at $1.95 on debut in January and hasn't raced since. Recent trial winner who can turn things around this prep. SUGGESTED PLAY: Splash Of Steel to win the opener.
