MISSION RIDGE (1) peaked on his run when resuming last start over 4f at Ipswich, winding up in sixth. Steps up in journey this time. Won't find this as tough. Well placed and sure to run well. PETTICOAT (4) lines up for the first time since June 26. Looking to emulate her win at Newcastle when returning from a lay-off last prep. Expect her to play a major role. RHUMB LINE (6) is a progressive galloper who is when resuming since finishing eighth over 5f at Sunshine Coast five months ago. Sharpened for this with a recent trial win. Has never been out of the placings when resuming from two tries. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. One of the main contenders. MONTE DRIFTER (2) caught the eye last start over 5f at Grafton, coming from the tail and running on strongly to score by 0.9 lengths. Is in solid form this time in work, scoring two times and placing on two occasions from seven starts. Deserves respect on his best figures.
