ASFOORA (7) last appeared on August 23 when a good fourth over 1005m in the G1 Nunthorpe Stakes at York, beaten 1.3 lengths. One of the genuine hopes in the race. AVIATRESS (9) was too good when resuming in an easier race over 1200m in the LR Matrice Stakes at this track last start, scoring by 1.75 lengths. Generally runs well second-up and is expected to feature in the finish. CLIMBING STAR (8) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on 16/11/2024, finishing sixth and beaten 3.5 lengths over 1400m in the G1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes at Caulfield. Can make her presence felt. PRAIRIE FLOWER (10) wound up strongly last time out to finish 0.6 lengths adrift in second over 1100m at this track. Has won two races at this course and distance from five tries. Best figures stack up nicely.
