LONE FORCE (8) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a neck from the winner in third over 6½f at Kembla, making up good late ground.Lightly raced colt who is heading the right way and he should figure in the finish.MIDNIGHT AFFAIR (13) is a two-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 3 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 6f at Gosford.Fitter and capable of taking this out.LITTLE COINTREAU (4) resumes from a spell of five-and-a-half months.Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 7f at Nowra.Good effort to open last prep when in the money at Kembla over this trip.One of the better hopes.ABUSE OF POWER (1) just missed resumed here at this trip.Big chance again from an ideal draw.
