VANTORIX (1) resumes. Justified the short price on debut with a dominant victory over 1005m at Taree on November 23. Has since been fitted with a 1000m Taree trial win. Race experience will take him a long way from the inside gate. BRIEF AUTHORITY (2) Anders gelding from the mare Shorthand on debut for the Matt Dunn yard. Has shown ability in his two trials and shapes as the main danger. NAYSTAR (4) Star Turn colt from Mornay on debut for the Matt Dunn stable. Among the placings in a recent trial and Jett Newman sticks. Maps well and expected to take a hand in the finish. TO'O (6) Encryption gelding from The Closer on debut for the Robb yard. Was a runner-up in his only trial over 900m at Beaudesert. Stays in the mix.
