HIDDEN NUGGET (5) debuted with a win two runs ago. Not as effective last time out when seventh over 1015m at Gold Coast, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. TIPSY TIGER (13) resumes after a break of six months. Trying to repeat her debut win over 800m at this track to kick off last prep. Fitter for a seventh in a recent trial over 1050m at Deagon. One of the genuine hopes in the race. LUMENS LENNY (2) was well supported when resuming last start but missed the placings in fifth over 1000m at Gold Coast. Likely improver. ZOUTHUR (4) made a nice return two back at Gold Coast then stepped up in grade last time and finished sixth over 1110m at Doomben. Top-three contender.
