UPTOWN MONK (4) is a well bred three-year-old gelding lining up for the first time. By Tagaloa from Tidy Prophet who has produced a winner at stakes level. Won his most recent trial at Strathalbyn. Sure to be well-educated, being from the Will Clarken stable. Has a nice gate and looks the one they have to beat. IT'S GNARLY (3) is on debut for the Logan Mcgill stable. Three-year-old gelding by Tassort and was purchased for AUD $ 50,000 (Magic Millions 2024 Gold Coast Horses In Training Sale). Placed in a recent trial at Mornington. Bold showing expected. Watch betting. PRESTIGE KA YING (9) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 2 lengths away in second over 6f at Cranbourne when she was prominent throughout. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is good enough to take this out. DISCREETLY BLUE (1) came home strongly last start to finish third, beaten 1. 2 lengths, over 6f at Gawler when fresh from a lay-off. Jason Holder stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on three occasions. Not to be discounted.
