SYLPH (13) was beaten for speed on debut last start then worked home honestly to finish fourth over 1100m at Hawkesbury. Has upside and can open her account. LIPSTICK (5) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 900m at Newcastle. Must raise the bar but she has the talent to test this line-up. VINGT NEUF NOIR (10) was well held in the Inglis Nursery won by Within The Law over 1000m at Randwick at her last appearance five months ago. Big chance in this class. AGARWOOD (1) is a two-year-old filly on debut by Wootton Bassett from Paulownia who has in turn produced the winner of a black type. Coming along well at the trials with a win at her most recent at Randwick. Sure to be well-educated, being from the Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott stable. Jumps from a favourable gate and looks certain to be competitive.
