MARBLE NINE (5) finished ninth over 6f in the LR Christmas Stakes at Sandown-Lakeside at his most recent appearance on December 26. Expect him to play a major role. LA FRACAS (12) finished seventh over this distance, beaten 3 lengths, at his latest outing. Boasts excellent form at this trip with six wins from eight starts. Settles back early but winds up late. Will be tough to stop. CORNICHE (3) came from well back on cornering and hit the line strongly to score over 5f in the LR ATA-Bob Hoysted Hcp at Flemington last time out. All set to run well. POP AWARD (8) brings the right form to this race after taking out a 5½f contest at Flemington last time out by a head. Has an impressive six wins from 13 career starts. Best figures measure up favourably.
