MEDNYI (2) turned in a solid run when resuming last start over this course and distance, finishing third and beaten only one length. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Expected to be in the finish. GAMBLER (1) tackled the Silver Slipper Stakes over 5½f at Rosehill last time out when fresh from a lay-off and was beaten 4.5 lengths into seventh by Beiwacht. Should be prominent from the outset. Expected to be in the finish. THRILLING VENTURE (8) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 4½f at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth after being in contention on the bend. Going up a level this time but she is good enough to play a major role. ALABAMA CHARM (4) raced once in the maiden campaign when 13th in the G3 Gimcrack Stakes at Randwick over 5f back on October 5. Improver who can feature in the finish.
