INFORMATICA (7) finished fourth two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1000m at this track, beaten only a nose. Likely improver with strong prospects. CARMEL BEACH (13) ran below expectations last time at this track over 1000m, finishing fifth and beaten 5 lengths. Should be prominent from the outset. Sure to be in the finish. LENGA AUSTRAL (4) finished fifth over 1100m at this track at her most recent appearance on October 23. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. SHIVERS (1) is a 12-start maiden who has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1000m at this track. Drawn to go forward. Should give backers a sight.
