A strong gallop is likely with Wendt and Pareto taking up the running, closely attended by Deep Stealth and Viale. VIALE (5) showed potential last prep and is expected to have strengthened over the break. Up in grade at the end of her prep when sixth over 1110m at Doomben on October 26. Given the one good trial and looks primed for this from the draw with the 3kg claim. Rates highly. PARETO (1) resumes after racing in some handy races in the city at her last two campaigns. Faded quickly in the heavy (10) going when last over 1200m at Doomben on November 30. Solid 1050m trial winner at the Gold Coast. Genuine top three contender. SEYMOUR STARS (8) resuming. Led throughout on debut when a comfortable winner as fav over 1000m at Grafton five months ago. Showed he's back to where he was last time in when a recent Grafton trial winner. Among the leading chances. DEEP STEALTH (10) both career runs have been sound and comes here in peak condition. Gets through all conditions and a senior rider is engaged. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 5,1,8,10.
