Besides the 2 year olds who we've already heard from like Street Sense, Nobiz like Shobiz, Circular Quay etc. I like to start looking up horses who may (or may not) make some noise in the upcoming months. Helps pass the cold winter.
I've seen a few run, but if anyone has more information I'd be greatful. Here is my list:
Diamond Fever - Seeking the Gold - Radiant Ring (Halo) trained by Matz
Electricity - Storm Cat - Heavenly Prize. Phipps/McGaughy nominate this full brother to Good Reward, Pure Prize
First Defence - Unbridled's Song - Honest Lady. Frankel/Juddmonte half brother to Phantom Rose. My very early Derby Goo-Goo horse.
Gabriel's Hill - A.P. Indy - Lailani one of the many noms of Darley & trained by Eoin Harty
Grasshopper - Dixie Union - Grass Skirt. Farish/Howard
Longley - Seeking the Gold - Personal Girl. Graham Motion trainer
Mandurah - A.P. Indy - Morning Pride. Another Darley boy trained by Harty
Marchfield - A.P. Indy - Pico Teneriffe...canadian bred, Queens Plate bound for Melynk?

Positive Force - Storm Cat - Brushed Halory. $2.2M Darley purchase
Sahara Heat - A.P. Indy - Sahara Gold
