Verdict

BONUS SEASON (8) was an acceptor - and also drew well - at Kyneton on Friday, so if they run here it will be a good endorsement of her chances from connections. Beat home all bar Wednesday's ultra-impressive Sandown winner Roulette King at her most recent start, back in October, and has trialled well ahead of the return. Speaking of nice trials, there was a lot to like about the latest by FRAM STRAIT (4), who hugged the outside fence at Cranbourne but still won comfortably under a light ride. A son of Lonhro from a strong Godolphin family, he's poised to make an early impression. CHLOE FIRST (10) has also accepted at multiple venues this weekend and the first-up run over 5f suggested this is a suitable trip second-up. KRASNOLUDEK (5) will probably be at his best over even further than this but showed good improvement last start and can elevate again. MANGANO (12) was given a solid hitout at her latest jumpout, which hints at intent on debut.
