ROCKIN' AT MIDNITE (13) has started twice, running a good third on debut then finishing sixth, beaten 5.5 lengths, last time over 5f152yards at Geelong. Will drift back but wind up late. Looks well placed and is worth another chance. AMARA VALENCIA (1) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when third over 6½f at Echuca. Well placed and sure to measure up. FRATINEEZE (15) is a two-start maiden who resumed from a lay-off last start and was beaten 3.5 lengths when eighth over 6f at Sale. Bold showing expected with added fitness this time. I ONLY WISH (11) finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 6f at Benalla, beaten 1.2 lengths. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders.
