Nicole's love for horses began 12 years ago, shared by her now husband, a VRC Member. She joined soon after and now owns three horses herself. Excitedly, Nicole thinks she has a few winners in her selections.

GIN SPIRIT (1) goes on top. She's won two from three to date, the only miss coming when sixth in the Blue Diamond Prelude, beaten four lengths. She went to Morphettville last time and won the Cinderella Stakes nicely, and of the raced form, she looks the benchmark. ENCHANTED BY (4) resumes having run a solid race on debut at Warwick Farm, sticking on for third behind Icarian Dream who did win a G3 race in Queensland after that. Two trials leading in and must respect the Waterhouse/Bott stable. MILITARY TYCOON (7) was in the market on debut at behind Tycoon Star here but struggled. She's won a trial by five lengths and could be a sharp improver. SECRET GLORY (6) was $3 on debut in the Max Lees Classic at Newcastle, not beaten far. She's jumped out and trialled well for her return. NAIFAH (2) was behind Gin Spirit last time but can improve.
