A first-starter for Shaun Nolen with Blaike McDougall booked, Cooranga has a good barrier and could be a surprise packet. With no public form to go on, market support will be crucial, but the jockey booking is a positive sign.

Cascata Spritz is a Patrick Payne runner, which always warrants respect, even with just one unplaced career start. If there's significant market support, it would suggest improvement, but without a confirmed jockey and wide barrier, it's a risky proposition.
