TASTULA (2) improving gelding who gave them a galloping lesson when a dominant 3 len winner over 1900m at Canterbury on November 20. Further improved and maps to win again in this average affair. KAHRABA (4) fifth-up today and will find this more to her liking after finishing fourth over 1850m at Newcastle on November 27. Chambers rides again with the 3kg claim and looks one of the only dangers. UNOWHO (3) dour type who flopped badly on resumption when wilting sharply to finish last over 1500m at Newcastle on December 1. McEvoy rides today and worth another chance out to this trip. JACK OF ACES (1) sprinted well first-up over the mile when second at Wyong, before plugging to the line when fourth over 1600m at Wyong on November23. Placed this track and looking for the 2000m now. Gets his chance from the gate.
