MONTE VEEBEE (6) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on 02/10/2024, finishing fifth and beaten 5.5 lengths over 1400m at Rosehill. Rates highly and should take some beating. DUBAI DARLING (11) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1200m at Newcastle when third, beaten 1.1 lengths. Has a wide gate to overcome but she will prove tough to beat. HOLLERLOUD (2) pushed forward from a wide draw when first-up from a break last time out and found the front, holding the lead for most of the way and sticking on well to finish second over 1000m at Corowa. Bold showing expected. ANTIDOTE (8) was in the firing line on the corner and finished third last start over 940m at Towong, beaten 1.75 lengths. Fitter for that run. Nicely placed to play a role in the finish.
