ALL TOO MYSTI (9) returns for the sharp R & C Jolly stable. Turned in some solid runs in debut prep and looks to have come on nicely during the break, stripping fitter for a sharp trial win here in readiness. Draws well and should take some beating. NOVELA (2) has been well supported in all three starts, just coming up short. Has been freshened with a 56-day break but has kept the legs ticking over with a soft hitout here. Drawn sticky but is expected to feature. SNOOPY NOW (5) returns a Gelding for the Hewitt camp. Showed promising signs in his debut prep, most notably running a brave race in testing conditions behind subsequent Vic Derby winner Goldrush Guru back in August. Suspect he's looking for further but finds a nice starting pointing. Watch for him putting in the big strides late. MOUGENOT (4) is on the quick back-up and should find this easier. No reason he can't feature third-up. TAHNEE TERRITORY (14) is also open to further improvement.
