COOMA HUT (1) was having his first run for the Ms M Moses yard last start when he made steady ground to run into third over 1100m at Armidale at the first run back from a spell. One of the genuine hopes in the race. CALICO MISS (8) is a filly by Better Land out of Region who is at the races for the first time today. Won a recent Armidale trial. Worth watching for positive market moves. FANTASTIC BEAST (2) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on 22/09/2024, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths over 1900m at Armidale. Makes plenty of appeal. NULKABA STAR (5) finished 2 lengths from the winner in sixth at his most recent outing over 1100m at Scone after he gave away a big start. This looks a nice race so expect him to finish closer.
