NAFTALI (3) finished out of the money when fresh from a lay-off two starts back then he got a long way back and was beaten 1.2 lengths when fourth in a 5½f contest at Scone two-and-a-half weeks ago. Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves another chance. TARRANT COUNTY (4) returns after nine months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 1m at Scone. Bold showing expected. STOLEN SUMMER (9) is a three-year-old filly who lines up for the first time. From an elite family that includes a G1 victor, being by The Autumn Sun from the stakes winner Angel Of Mercy. Was out of the placings at Scone at her most recent trial. Comes from a stable which has an impressive strike rate with the first-starters. Importantly has a nice gate and is ready to run well. GHAZNAVI (1) drifted well back then came with a powerful run to finish 3.5 lengths from the winner in third when resuming last start over 5½f at Mudgee. Should feature in the finish again.
