VIALE (6) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a lay-off on 26/10/2024, finishing sixth and beaten 5.5 lengths over 5½f at Doomben. One of the genuine hopes in the race. SOUTH BOAMBEE (12) comes here off a break of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 5f at this track. Sure to make his presence felt. SEYMOUR STARS (7) was in control from the outset to score as favourite on debut over 5f at this track five months ago and has not raced since. Has since been kept ticking over with a Grafton trial win. Among the chances. DEEP STEALTH (9) launched her career with a win then a fair effort last time out when third over 5f at this track, beaten 1.1 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
