DIDDLE DUMPLING (3) is a six-start maiden who could only manage to finish eighth after being in contention on the bend at her latest appearance over 6f at Kembla Grange. This looks a nice race so expect her to be right in the finish. Group 3 placegetter CELESTIAL BLING (1) has not appeared since she raced on the speed on debut back on September 30 2023 and went down narrowly, finishing second over 5f in the G3 Gimcrack Stakes at Randwick. Filled a minor placing in a recent Randwick trial. Has a low draw so expected to run well again. DORALEE (12) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing a head from the winner in second over 5f at Kembla Grange. Must be included among the main hopes. ETON (6) drifted back early on debut last start then worked home strongly to finish 4 lengths away in third at Canterbury over 5½f. Likely improver worth including.
