Lots of speed predominantly from Inquisitive Legend, Fragrant Cloud and Seance. OPAL FIELDS (6) is undefeated at this track and has been freshened since struggling in town when sixth over 1150m at Randwick Kensington in BM72 grade on October 30. Races best with her runs spaced and will find this more to her liking from the low draw. GLORIOSO (4) registered a strong win at this track two runs back, then failed to see the 1200m out when fourth over 1200m at Rosehill on November 13. This is her pet track and trip and she finds a suitable race with the 2kg claim. FROEBEL STAR (2) showed a ton of potential in her first prep in stronger company and resumes today from a lengthy break. Never comfortable in the heavy (10) conditions when a fading eighth over 1200m in the G3 Ken Russell Memorial Classic at the Sunshine Coast on May 11. Fitted with the two trials and no shock to see her finish over the top of these. SEANCE (8) showed plenty of early speed on debut when a determined head winner over 1100m here on November 7. Good enough to be thereabouts again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 6,4,2,8.
