AU - Newcastle - Race 2

ENVIABLE (7) resumes from a spell of nine months. Made good progress in her second prep with a minor placing over 1m in the G2 Moonee Valley Fillies Classic last October. Primed with the two trials and adept in all conditions. Shouldn't be a Maiden for long. HELLFIGHTER (3) ten-start Maiden ready to win. Savaged the line with a close-up third over 7 ½f at Hawkesbury in a Super Maiden. Can race closer with the tongue-tie going on. COOL RUPERT (1) comes here deep into the campaign and can race a touch closer from the gate. Struggled to run the 1m out with a plugging fifth at Hawkesbury. Placed twice at the trip and place claims look best. ANNA KARENINA (6) made rapid improvement at her second race start with a tidy third over 6 ½f at Hawkesbury. Place preferred.
