BAKEEL (5) was well supported when resuming last time out over 1200m at Morphettville and proved too strong, scoring by 2 lengths. Open to plenty of improvement and looks sure to be in the finish again. MOTORACE (4) finished sixth over 2000m at Flemington at his most recent appearance on November 7. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. TEXAN WINDSTORM (6) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by 0.9 lengths last time out over 1400m at Morphettville Parks. Should be prominent again from the low draw. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. STARLITE VALLEY (9) hasn't been far away lately, beaten 1.5 lengths at her most recent outing when sixth over 1400m at Morphettville Parks. Will appreciate a drop in grade. Don't underestimate.
