SEMANA (3) has not appeared since she finished 12th over 7f in the Alan Brown Stakes at Rosehill on October 12. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. MISS ROUMBINI (6) is coming off a determined win last start over 6f at Ballarat five weeks ago. Down in the weights this time so another bold showing is expected. BUBBA'S BAY (5) pushed forward and went on to record a determined win last start by a long neck over 6f in the LR Nudgee Quality at Eagle Farm. Has the speed to overcome a wide draw. Meeting a deeper field this time but she is up to the challenge. CHARM STONE (4) hasn't raced since finishing eighth in the G1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes at Caulfield over 7f eight weeks ago. Kept ticking over with a placing in a recent trial at Rosehill. One of the likely contenders.
