AUSTRALASIA (8) turned in an eye-catching run over 5½f at Murwillumbah last time, ridden back before coming home with a powerful run to finish third. Will drift back but is expected to be in the finish again. SOUTHAMPTON FLARE (2) resumes from a lay-off of four-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish sixth at the latest run over 6f at Murwillumbah. Looks ready to run following a minor placing in a recent Murwillumbah trial. Rates highly and is a strong chance to break through. COSMIC FUN (9) is on debut. By Cosmic Force and is out of the Andrew Parramore stable. Comes here off a Coffs Harbour trial. Watch for a betting push. SOL FILIA (6) returns after four months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a ninth over 6f at Grafton. Solid top-three hope.
