FONTAINE ROUGE (5) raced twice in her maiden campaign and started favourite on each occasion without winning, the latest effort a third over 7f at Sandown-Lakeside on June 5. Ran sixth in a trial at Camperdown and can break though here fresh. ROCKIN' AT MIDNITE (12) went forward last start over 6f at Moonee Valley and held on well for third, beaten 3 lengths. Will be handy in running despite the tricky draw. Tackling a more suitable race so she is sure to prove hard to beat. HIGH TEMPO (6) is a first-starter by Unusual Suspect out of Hot Tempo. Placed in a trial leading into this. Among the leading chances. GARNACHO (3) raced once in the maiden campaign when ninth at Geelong over 6f43yards back on September 13. Can improve sharply.
