OAKFIELD UNIVERSE (8) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 2.25 lengths from the winner in second over 1200m at Newcastle. Sure to improve and can get off the mark this time. NINETTE (7) was well supported on debut last start and turned in a strong effort to finish second over 1100m at Canterbury. Has ability and looks sure to measure up. JUSTICE WARRIOR (3) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1100m at Gosford. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to figure in the finish. APOLLO RIDGE (1) was in contention on the turn and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1000m at this track, beaten a neck. Will strip fitter this time. Must be respected.
