Although on a small field the presence of some unraced runners should ensure a solid clip. SPIRITUALISTIC (7) stirred up in her preliminary and lost her off-fore plate when a disappointing sixth over 1300m at Kembla Grange. Will handle the conditions and bounce back quickly. NARCISSIST (2) returns from a very lengthy break. Struck trouble in the straight and his saddle shifted when an unlucky debut seventh over 1000m at Gosford back on October 26, 2023. Given the two trials in readiness for this and must be kept safe. SHE SWINGS (4) covered ground in the run and liked the way she attacked the line when fourth over 1100m at Hawkesbury first up. Comes to hand quickly and gets a better run here. UNITE THE STARS (12) fitter now after racing without luck when shuffled back further than expected to finish a fading seventh over 1000m at Gosford. Blinkers go on and sharp improvement expected from the low gate. TRIPLE TRIPLE (11) only the one placing from nine starts and drops sharply in weight here. Will go forward and give cheek. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 7,2,4,12.
