EXUMA (1) started at 7/1 last time on the back of a win at Werribee two starts ago but was below his best, finishing sixth over 5f at Moonee Valley after being in contention on the corner. Has the talent to take care of this field. BONNIE AMORE (4) returns after a lay-off of 11 months. Looking to emulate her win at Kyneton at the beginning of last prep. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. SKELLIG ROCK (11) started at 7/1.50 last time and ran below expectations, finishing seventh and beaten 23 lengths at Kilmore over 6f. Finds a tougher race but she has the ability to test this field. EL PIBE DE ORO (6) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.75 lengths from the winner in third over 5f at Moonee Valley. Nicely placed to feature in the finish.
