RALLY THE TROOPS (5) was too good for a maiden field last start over 7f at Geraldton, scoring by 1.4 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Capable of taking the next step. COSMIC ECLIPSE (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at York, beaten 0.7 lengths into fourth. Meeting a deeper field this time but she is up to the challenge. CASHEL PALACE (8) is yet to break through in three runs. Finished fifth at her last appearance over 6f at Belmont Park on October 23. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. VERRY TIMELY (4) finished 12th over 1m1/2f at Belmont Park at her most recent appearance on July 31. Sure to make her presence felt.
