HO ALOHA (9) is still a maiden after 11 starts. Managed to fill a minor placing at Nowra two starts back before finishing fourth over 5½f at Hawkesbury last time. Won't get too many better chances to open her account. TERRA LUMINA (4) good effort to finish third last time out over 5f on turf at Hawkesbury, beaten 5 lengths. First try on synthetic. Expect he will bring the good form to this surface. WILD ROMEO (6) on the synthetic for the first time. On his return from a lay-off of four-and-a-half months. Kicked off the last campaign with a second at Albury over 5f. Likely to feature. THREE WISHES (10) is a three-start maiden who returned last time and finished fifth at Muswellbrook over 5f, beaten 4 lengths. Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat.
