CHARLINA (5) ran on strongly only to just miss when fresh from a lay-off as favourite last start over 5f at Gosford. Will strip a lot fitter this time around. Going up a level this time but she cannot be underestimated. APPIN OPAL (4) is a nicely bred three-year-old filly on debut. By Exceedance from the stakes winner Sarthemare who has produced some fine gallopers, including winners at black type level. Scored in her most recent trial at Rosehill. Promising type who looks set to play a big role. MILITARY LEGEND (7) returns after four months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a eighth over 6f at Kembla Grange. Has had the benefit of two trials leading into this. Nicely placed and can get off the mark. FARFETCHED (6) is a three-year-old filly on debut. From an elite family that includes black type success, being by Farnan from the former top race mare More Than Real. Coming along well at the trials with a win at her most recent at Randwick. Comes from a stable which has an impressive strike rate with the first-starters. Importantly has a nice gate and any market lead would add to the confidence.
