HOKUSAI (10) returns from a layoff of four-and-a-half months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 5f at Hawkesbury. Has switched to the Mark Currie yard. Sure to make her presence felt. KENTUCKY ROSE (11) finished eighth over 5¼f at Gold Coast Poly at her most recent appearance on November 18. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. TESSATORI (13) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in fourth over 5½f at Doomben. Has ability and is among the chances. ZEPHYRZ ZOOM (14) was a long way back last start but hit the line well to finish fourth, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 5½f at Grafton. Solid top-three prospects.
