Prize Money: $42,000

FORNELLI (3) Farnan mare resuming from a lengthy break after showing a stack of potential in the first campaign. Sat on the speed as the dominant ($2.60 fav), with a fighting third over 1000m at Kembla Grange 11 months ago. Has impressed in her two recent trials and maps to get the right run. BORN TO FLY (8) is an I Am Invincible filly from the good producing mare Rough Ride on debut for the O'Shea & Charlton yard. Trialled very well for this and makes plenty of appeal. MY JU JU (2) showed plenty of grit on debut from the wide gate to hold a forward position with a fighting second to Pulsator over 1200m at Kembla Grange last month. Since fitted with a 740m trial placing and maps well. Top three contender. BENSON (6) three-year-old Hellbent colt from Ambar on debut for the John Thompson. Won his last two trials in good style and sure to be thereabouts.

Three-year-old colt (Hellbent - Ambar). He has three recent trials leading in today's debut. Won his most recent trial at Hawkesbury over 1000m on September 29. Won his last two trials in good order and finds a very competitive race, each way.

Three-year-old gelding (Farnan - Equal Love) has trialled on three occasions leading into today's race. Was second in a Randwick trial over 1050m October 6. Wait and see what he can do from the awkward gate.
