SPARCO (5) is back from a spell of 11 weeks and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 2000m in Listed grade at this track. Key runner while fresh. NUDINI (1) has strung together a couple of wins at this track, the latest on December 8 over 2400m when he scored by 4 lengths. Has the class to produce another positive result. HORUS DO NILO (6) is back from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 1500m contest at this track by 4 lengths. Definite chance. JIMBONGO (2) resumes after a break of four months. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 1500m at this track. One of the genuine hopes in the race.
