MR BRIGHTSIDE (1) stalked the pace when resuming at this track and trip last start then worked to the line steadily to finish second. Craig Williams who has 16 wins when partnering stays on. Fitter and a likely improver. I WISH I WIN (2) has not appeared since he finished 11th over 6f in the G1 The Everest at Randwick on October 19. Has a solid when resuming record of three wins and four placings from eight runs. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. FREEDOM RALLY (7) settled well back and failed to come on last start when eighth over 7f in the G1 CF Orr Stakes at this track at his first run back from a break. Among the leading chances. PRIVATE LIFE (10) bounced straight into a handy position from the inside draw before finishing fourth when resuming from a lay-off last time out over 7f in the G1 CF Orr Stakes at this track. Has ability and a bold showing is expected.
