Verdict

ARALETTA (6) would have frustrated connections in the debut campaign with four minor placings from as many starts, but they were in some handy maidens. Hit the line hard in a recent Pakenham jumpout in a showing that suggested she's primed to break the duck here. THE SECRET (9) will be no pushover, though. Trained at Cranbourne and only start to date realised a placing in a metro maiden. The fact she can put herself on-speed could prove advantageous, too. ETOILE FILANTE (2) showed good improvement from the debut run to start No 2 so must be considered. His stablemate UNIVERSAL HARMONY (1) has had a few more tries but has been in the money six times from 10 starts, including a narrow second two back, so he's clearly good enough to give this a shake. The race drops off after those four with TENSILE (4) looking best of the rest but it's hard to see him winning given he's yet to place in five starts.

Raced twice to date. When well in the market at debut, 7th of 11 at Traralgon Mdn-Sw on November 2 over 1100m, 8 len behind Struggle Street carrying 58kg at $4. Last start came from midfield; 2nd of 12 at Swan Hill Mdn-Sw on November 24 over 1200m, slow going 1.3 len behind Checkthemenu with 58kg at $8. Coming along nicely and should be right in the mix again.
