POCKETING (14) taken back from the sticky gate on resumption when an eye catching second over 1300m at Hawkesbury on November 28. Has bumped into some promising types at his last two runs and returned good figures first-up. Goes close again. AMERICAN STARLET (5) handy mare with the two wins from six starts who bumped into the smart FIDDLER'S GREEN second-up when a fading seventh over 1400m at Hawkesbury on November 21. Winkers go on and will find this more to her liking. GENDARMERIE (15) kept safe in betting on resumption when a tiring third over 1300m at Hawkesbury in this class on November 7. Has won second-up and will be in this for a long way. TOES IN THE WATER (4) hard in the market on resumption when a plugging fifth over 1200m at Canberra on November 24. Placed second-up and will relish the claim again.
