QUINKY DEEL (3) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fifth, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 1700m at Wellington. Sure to be prominent from the outset. FULMEN FILOU (4) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 10 lengths away in 11th over 2221m at Seymour. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PATHELIA (12) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a long neck from the winner in second over 2100m at Tamworth after being in contention on the corner. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. STAR OF KONGO (9) was in contention on the corner and finished second last time over 1600m at Tamworth, beaten 2 lengths. Likely improver with bright prospects.
