Surface: T
WHATELEY (10) finished second, beaten 3 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at Caulfield Heath after he was in contention on the bend. Faces an easier assignment so he is a major player. REGAL LOVER (5) finished fifth over 1m1f at Caulfield Heath at his most recent appearance on December 18. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. WARRIOR WITHIN (9) turned in a much better run at his second appearance last time out when 2 lengths from the winner in fourth over 6f at Pakenham. Ready to make his presence felt. QUEENSBURY (4) finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 6f at Seymour, beaten 1.4 lengths. Finds a tougher race but a win is not out of the question.
