GLASSES UP (8) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 2.75 lengths over 2000m at this track as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from four runs. Top chance again. JUJUBELLA (7) returns from a break of 12 weeks. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 2000m at Newcastle All Weather. Nicely placed to kick off another successful campaign. HOSANNA POWER (1) was prominent on straightening and stuck on well to finish third last start over 2040m at Newcastle All Weather, beaten 0.8 lengths. Finds a suitable assignment and can feature in the finish again. SHIMMERING SANDS (5) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on 12/12/2024, finishing sixth and beaten 3.5 lengths over 2040m at Newcastle All Weather. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
