RAIL TRAIL (5) returned last time with a solid second at Scone over 1000m. Taking on a better line-up this time but he cannot be underestimated. CURLY BEND (8) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on 13/10/2024, finishing fourth and beaten 6 lengths over 1100m at Coonamble. Sure to make her presence felt. ISAGURA (9) resumes from a spell of five months and looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1100m at Nowra. Can pick up where she left off. Leading player on best figures - bold showing expected. THE FIRE INSIDE (11) returned from a break with a tiring fourth over 1100m at Bathurst after racing on the speed in the early stages. Fitter and with blinkers added is worth including.
