SIBELIUS (8) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on 4/01/2025, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths over 1200m at Ipswich. Now under the care of new trainer Daniel Simonetta. Capable of playing a major role. VIA VEGAS (13) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start when he made late ground but found a couple better over 1000m at Taree, beaten 3 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. VALENTINO PRINCE (11) settled well back last time out then found the line strongly to finish 4 lengths away in fourth over 1250m at Newcastle. Well placed and is among the chances. AQUAFIRE (9) filled a minor placing when fresh from a spell two starts ago. Could not back that up last time when 7 lengths away in ninth over 1007m at Taree. Fitter so don't underestimate.
