MISS SCOOP (5) started at $5 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 2 lengths at Moruya over 1010m after being in the firing line on the bend. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. CHOLANTE (2) returns from a year break but will strip fitter for two trial placings. Rarely far away fresh. Rates highly and bold showing expected. ABSTRUSE (3) comes here off a break of four months. Scored over 930m at Moruya at the start of last prep. Sure to make her presence felt. SPINOSAURUS (1) returns after a spell of six-and-a-half months. Looking to emulate his win at Wagga to kick off the last campaign. Among the better hopes.
