ZESTIMAN (6) was a new acquisition for the Lisa Whittle team last start when he made steady ground to run into second over 5f at this track. Can go one better. GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS (9) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a lay-off on January 3, finishing ninth and beaten 5. 5 lengths over 1m4f at Geelong. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with two minor placings. Now under the care of new trainer Kerry Petrick. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. LUCKY FORTUNA (10) produced a reasonable effort when second last start after being prominent at the corner over 7f at Balaklava, beaten 0. 6 lengths. That followed a win at Kingscote the start prior. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. RIVER FROST (4) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by 6 lengths over 5f at this track. Will be better for that latest run and cannot be ruled out.
