CATWALK CRIMINAL (11) is having her first run since October 12. Has a strong record when fresh with two wins from three runs, the most recent over 5½f at Ipswich at the start of last prep. Fitter for a recent trial win at Gold Coast. Will be tough to beat. HELLUVA BARTY (10) comes here off a break of four months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 5½f at Doomben. Should be hard to stop. MOGO MAGIC (4) lines up for the first time since July 6. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 5f at Randwick. Has a strong when resuming record, scoring on three occasions from five starts. Makes plenty of appeal. WILD BOTANICA (12) recorded a strong on-speed win last time by half a length over this journey at Sunshine Coast. Cannot be underestimated.
