BLEAK MID WINTER (4) closed last prep six months ago when he finished second over 5½f at Gawler. Hard to go past. MOUGENOT (8) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when second over 6¼f at Morphettville Parks when he was prominent throughout. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. MISTER HOCKEY (7) is by the sire Highland Reel and from the stakes winning mare Rememba Howe. Was placed in his most recent trial at Oakbank over 5¼f. Blinkers on and profiles well so must include. PAMIERS (9) finished third last start over 5¼f at Balaklava, beaten a long neck. Fitter for that run. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
