LADY FERN (5) is building towards a maiden win after minor placings at her last two runs, the latest when second over 1100m at Hobart, beaten one length. Has a decent record at this trip with four minor placings from six tries and is expected to be in the finish. HOTAPPLEPIE (1) finished 14th over 1220m at this track at his most recent appearance on November 13. Has ability and should be right in the finish. ARIANNA'S GOLD (2) is a three-year-old filly facing the starter for the first time. From a strong family that has produced at black type level, being by Alpine Eagle from Arenzano. Was in the placings in her most recent trial at Hobart. Promising type who is worth considering if popular in betting. MISS ADELINE (6) is an Alpine Eagle filly from the stakes-winner Butzie on debut. Fitter for two trials. Betting watch advised.
