CLOISTERS (2) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when second at Pakenham over 5½f. Should be prominent from the outset. Leading contender. SUNLIT SERENADE (8) is a nicely bred two-year-old filly making her first appearance at the races. By The Autumn Sun from Gowana who has produced some fine gallopers, including winners at black type level. Was in the placings in a recent trial at Geelong. Comes from a stable which has an impressive strike rate with the first-starters. Promising type who should be about the mark. AYE VEE AITCH (1) is appearing for the first time. By Shamus Award and hails from the Nick Ryan stable. Comes here off a Geelong trial. Expected to feature. OHOPE (3) is a first-starter by leading sire I Am Invincible from the stakes-winner Pohutukawa. Sure to have come on from a recent trial. Watch for market confidence.
