LIFEISBUTADREAM (4) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 3 lengths away in seventh over 6f at Belmont Park on June 15. Primed for this after placing in a recent trial. Rates highly and expected to go well. ROCKING GEM (8) returns from a layoff of six months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 5f at Pinjarra. One of the genuine hopes in the race. CLOSE AT HAND (1) turned in a fair effort at Bunbury over 6f at his last run four months ago, finishing fifth and beaten 1.5 lengths. Worth plenty of thought. HOME JAMES (7) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on September 26 finishing fifth and beaten 3.5 lengths over 5f at Northam. Can make his presence felt.
