IL CIELO (1) is a seven-start maiden who is knocking on the door, the latest effort a solid third at Ballarat over 7½f after being in contention on the turn. Ideally placed to open his account. MANHATTAN EMPIRE (2) raced once in the maiden campaign when eighth at Sandown-Hillside over 6½f back on September 18. Will improve and looks well placed. LENNYSTAR (9) sat on the pace to the turn then tired in the run home last start, beaten 4.5 lengths into seventh over 7f at Pakenham Synthetic. Should park just off the speed despite the draw. Will be in this for a long way. ISOTROPIC (8) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at Hamilton over 1m. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
