BLANC DE NOIR (2) promising filly who chased right to the line when a sound third over 1000m at Hawkesbury in a strong race on November 21. Further improved for this and expected to go close. VANESSI (1) showed good early speed on resumption before being nailed late when a long neck second over 1250m at this track on November 29. Goes equally as well second-up and will take catching over the 1100m. REGIMENTAL COLOURS (9) solid placing on debut two-back here, before failing to handle the soft conditions when a plugging sixth over 1100m at this track on November 29. Has fitness on her side and sharp improvement is anticipated. LIGHTLY SPARKLED (11) Headwater filly with ability who backs-up quickly after going under narrowly when second over 900m at Newcastle on December 1. Can add value to the exotics.
