Nottolook created a big impression breaking his maiden at just his second start and remains open to plenty of improvement, while Black Frost returned to form with a narrow second last start and Smokin’ Rohie has been knocking on the door with successive runner-up finishes.
Nottolook looks to have the upside to measure up in this grade and can continue his unbeaten start.
