STAR EMBLEM (11) bounced straight to the front from the rails draw when fresh from a lay-off last start and led for home before finishing third over 5f at Grafton. Rates highly and will be hard to peg back. MARLOU MILLIE (8) is back after a break of nine months. At the last run before the layoff she finished fifth over 7f at Lismore. Good chance to break through. OAKFIELD PANTHER (10) finished 6 lengths away in seventh last time out over 4f at Ipswich nine days ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Will find this a little easier than last time. Well placed and should be in the finish.75 lengths away in fifth over 5f at this track. No surprise to see her in the mix.
