NOVELA (5) is a gelding by Valentia out of Episode Star who is at the races for the first time. Impressive recent trial winner. Looks set for a bright start to his career. LAYIN' UP (9) is an honest maiden who resumes from a lay-off of four-and-a-half months. Looks set to run well based on a recent trial win. Nicely drawn and is expected to be in the finish. JURA VAUDOIS (8) was fresh from a break of four months last start when beaten 0.7 lengths into second over 5¼f at Balaklava after she was prominent throughout. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. Among the winning hopes. ZENACITY (11) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of four months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 7f at Echuca. Has ability and is worth including.
