Prize Money: $18,450

BLACK ORCHID (6) made a promising start to her career producing three runner up finishes to date including most recently here contesting a 1200m event. Now drops back in trip but should prove a class above this field. ELYAM (2) hasn't been seen since finishing third on soft ground at Windsor August 2024. Left the Richard Hannon stable during that break while been gelded and remains interesting. MISS VERONIKA (4) is slowly getting the hang of things and drops to the minimum journey. One for handicaps in the future. ATOMIK (5) disappointed here last month and now tackles 1000m. Best watched unless well backed.

Jumped at a huge quote at debut, ran last of 9 at this track on August 16 over 1200m, 26 len behind Yordan with 61.5kg at $81. Drawn wide and likely to struggle.

Second run back. First-up after 10 months 4th of 9 at Newcastle All Weather on August 20 over 1400m, 9 len behind Star Of Commala carrying 58kg at $67. Previously second-up 5th of 8 at Newcastle All Weather on November 14 over 3400m, 13 len behind Majordomo carrying 67.5kg at $26. That run was a bit plain so prefer her later on.
