WHISPERING ROGUE (1) finished second on debut four months ago, beaten a head over 5½f at Doomben, and has not been produced since. In the placings in a recent Gold Coast trial. Sure to have improved over the break and is expected to prove tough to beat. CERETTI (5) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 5f at Eagle Farm when third, beaten 2.25 lengths. Sure to take a lot from that hitout so she will prove tough to beat. YEAH BUDDY (4) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in third over 4f at this track. Improver with a solid top-three chance. ORCHID VALLEY (10) is a two-start maiden who returned last time and finished eighth at Eagle Farm over 5f, beaten 3.5 lengths. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration.
