VELLA'S BEST (5) closed last prep 11 months ago when he finished fourth over 1000m at Wyong. Is lightly raced and looks forward enough after a solid recent trial. Looms large. MAGICAL ELEGANCE (11) looks to kick off this prep the way she ended the last four months ago when she scored over 1150m at Beaumont (Newcastle). Looks ready to run a big race following two recent trials. Will prove tough to beat. EVERLASTING STARS (8) made significant late ground last start to get up for third over 1000m at this track. Key runner who can get home hard into the finish. A BOOK OF DAYS (3) resumes from a spell of six months and is having his first outing under new trainer John Rolfe. Finished fourth at Cranbourne over 1200m at the opening run last time in work.
