PUCCINI DREAM (4) drifted well back when resuming last start before winding up strongly to finish third, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1400m at Eagle Farm. Among the top chances. RHODESIAN DIAMOND (6) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 1680m at this track, beaten 8 lengths into ninth. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. THE PATRON SAINT (1) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on 21/11/2024, finishing seventh and beaten 8 lengths over 1400m at Hawkesbury. Has switched to the Amanda Park yard over the break. Should camp just off the leaders. One of the main contenders. MISTING (5) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish second, beaten 2 lengths, over 1400m at Sunshine Coast. Can sneak into the finish.
